Mild is good, gets you ready for the extremes. Come on March heat wave, 'dew can do it'

NO , no march heatwave I want our seasons back! For about the last two years or so the seasons have been completely messed up, cold summer 2010,hot spring 2010, super cold autumn and start of winter 2010 then very mild rest of winter 2011, then very hot spring 2011, then very cold summer 2011, super hot autumn 2011, unusually warm winter 2011/ 2012 and then another very hot spring will continue the cycle of crazy seasons:pHow about we save up the heatwave for the actual summer months, we dont want another last year fiasco, where we got a very very hot march april heatwave and then one of the coldest,dullest most miserable summers in living memory:pac: Lets hope we dont get a summer as bad as that again, god knows we deserve it after this horribly mild boring winter:( Though the past few days in dublin have been really nice,sunny and warm, very springlike:)

Nice stretch in the evenings weather mild but in no way warm. Half decent early spring weather is the best way to describe it. If we get another summer like last year this year I'm heading to Australia for the winter.

A quiet weather forum is usually good news for mild lovers like myself. May it continue unless theres a good storm!

John.Icy

Some really nice days recently, today included (Till it started raining 20 minutes ago!). Just feels very nice out even if tempertures arn't anything amazing, but hit 15 degree's on Thursday and with very little wind, it felt fantastic!

So another good april maybe this year? I hope so. One thing is for sure, I dont expect an amazing summer like some people on here do every year. People seem to have clouded judgement when it comes to hot summers and Ireland. 95/03/06 seem to have some thinking Ireland is guarenteed amazing summers every year, and then they never stop complaining when it rains! We've been extremely close to a spanish plume the last two years, and I dont know how many more times I can watch wimbledon with the commentators saying it's 30 degree's!

lets hope the change starts this summer because i think we all need a break here after the worst winter I can ever remember and a countless run of cold & wet summers. I think at this stage were in need of a decent summer more so than a cold winter.

I'd take either!

But five poxy summers in a row during a period with two of the coldest winters in a century is Little Ice Age stuff - despite this mild winter.

So who knows what's ahead? :eek::eek::eek:

Cooler weather later this week aside, the charts just keep on giving. If only it were summer :rolleyes:

To be fair the previous 3 days were very decent down here, hopefully better tomorrow.

alfa beta

8 degrees and misty here in waterford at the moment

if this is what passes for mildy goodness, I'll take cold and sunny any day!

Anyone notice how quiets boards weather is gone lately, just goes to show were just all winter followers

Harps

Think everyone's still here but there's only so much people can bother talking about miserable greyness. It'll hopefully liven up once convection kicks off over land again, we're well overdue some good thunderstorms after getting close to nothing over the past few years

On the current weather, it hasn't been noticeably mild here at all, high today of only 10.7C with plenty of mist and drizzle keeping things nice and miserable

mike65

hideous day! **** off quiet weather!

TBH its probably cos the weather has been dull(in every sense of the word!!) for months now. Indeed since the big freeze at the end of 2010 there has been very little in the way of "eventfull" weather of any type to get stuck into(apart maybe from the rainfall event in Dublin and a bit of wind for some around Christmas)

Wild Bill

Took this one this morning for the "current conditions" thread and as it turned out it summed up the whole day



Incredible gloom in a world of meh.

I would say since the turn of the year that in Sligo there has been less than 10 what you could call sunny days.

There was probably been around 40 misty or drizzly days , one or two haily days, theres were the sunny days too, 20 or so rainy days. The rest of the month looks meh enough too but hopefully the strength of the sun and the position of the High will mean that we get to see the sun in the West.

My babees are nearly 8 months old and have only seen the sun on 5 days in 2012. They get a bit frightened of it coz they dont know what it is. To them a cloudy misty day is what outside is like. On the other days they are sleeping in rooms where no light gets in or playing, crying pooping rolling etc.

I wounder how long it will be before will have hose bans in parts of Iireland, in general rain amounts have been bellow average. Parts of england all ready have them.

I think March is usually very reliable when it comes to the old saying "in like a lamb out like a lion" or "in like a lion out like a lamb". It looks like it is shaping up for a dirty cold end to the month.

Sponge Bob

We had the token lion bit last week..

I feel 1976 ( or failing that 1984) is returning, honest I do.

up for anything

Where's the 'mini heat wave' we were all banking on. It's cold and grey.

Milky badness
