Spring Weather 2016

sryanbruen · 2016-02-14 18:57:43

The milder weather towards next weekend is giving me Spring vibes! What does everybody think what Spring will give to us? A Spring like 2007 / 11? OR A Spring like 2006 / 13? My predictions March - Very dull, cold and wet. - Dullest March on record April - Very cold, dull and wet. Potential cold snap. - Coldest April on…

Say what? Met predicted a misty morning, with downpours in late morning, early afternoon, with thundury showers in the evening.. Nothing but blue Sky's here since 9am

Some parts of the country are getting heavy downpours and it was a misty start in many places. If you read the forecast they predicted showers in some areas staying dry on others?

Yes, I read it correctly, the actual wording was heavey and thundery downpours in MOST areas in Munster.

Late last night the forecast for Munster was misty morning, rain by late morning and thundery downpours in late afternoon, evening..

Today it says It will be mostly dry with sunny spells..

Quite a u turn in the space of a few hours no?

Criticism of the Met seems to be really frowned upon here even though they're quite clearly clueless at the best of times

How is this trolling? Merely stating a fact that Met got it horribly wrong.. Today has been the complete opposite of what was forecasted!

As has been stated.

When a forecast is issued, it will state the forecast for the general area, and note any major exceptions. You are in the area of exception, be glad!

Here in Kilkee in West Clare the beach is packed, very sunny and warm, but there are evident towering clouds to the east and north of us.

Its the same when it snows! Forecast showers in Mayo and then people in Dublin complain of apparent Met Eireann inaccuracy!

Oh I am glad, trust me. It just seems that people in this forum think met can never be wrong, or should be immune to criticism. Fact is they got it completely wrong for Munster today, am I not allowed to state that fact?

Well expect even heavier if it's warm rain unfortunately.

That's not the case ShiddyArze - in fact there's a dedicated thread for discussing Met Eireann and their forecasts be they good,bad or indifferent here
You made your point - it's time to move on - ok?

Can we cut out the on-thread accusations of trolling- however subtle. It generally just disrupts the thread.

Use the report post function instead - thanks

I suppose Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Kerry aren't in Munster then? All have experienced showers today.

24c? Are you sure? Or is that what you're assuming...

Not high tech but thats what my thermometer is saying. Its been fairly accurate so far. As I said, its my back yard, no breeze and sunshine all day.

Either way, its still hitting 24 which it hasn't done since last August

I had a prolonged sunny spell during the afternoon, reached 21.9C.

Temperature at present is 17.4C as it looks like the first shower of the day is on it's way, very dark looking towards the Kilkenny/Carlow border area.

Max of 23.9c here today, unsurprising given the absolute wall to wall sunshine from 12pm. Proper beautiful weather, bit of sunburn arriving on my skin now though:(

Very humid night at Grange!

It was a beautiful day anyways with wall to wall sunshine. It's very hard to believe that some parts of the country had downpours and spot flooding today :pac:.

Another great start to the day, not the warmest by the east coast but good sunshine making it a great morning.

Not overly surprised here it was the same sun was in and out it was the warmth that made it a good day. Sun much stronger this morning but not brilliant blue skies still quite hazy but beautiful nonetheless.
