    Far less rain here than I was expecting. Just 2.4mm yesterday and 1mm so far today. The ground could use a fair bit more at this stage.

    Although I'm sceptical of it's accuracy now, my weather station is reporting a temperature of 16.3c. Really quite warm out, especially in the sun. Garden drying up nicely too, may get it cut this evening.

    No sun bar a few pathetic bursts, no hail - just a semi-constant light miserable rain that has totaled 2.6mm since midnight.

    Calm; high 10.6C, low 7.1C.

    What a boring ****e day here at Grange again

    Rainfall: 4.3mm
    Max. temperature: 10.9c
    Sunshine: 0.2 hours

    April statistics (1st-4th)

    Rainfall: 36.0mm (92% of the monthly LTA)
    Mean temperature: 7.8c (-0.4c below the LTA)
    Sunshine: 0.3 hours (0% of the LTA)

    Ridiculously wet, dull and cool opening to the month!

    Rainfall: 8.4mm (22% of the monthly LTA)
    Mean temperature: 6.9c (-1.3c below the LTA)
    Sunshine: 9 hours (6% of the LTA)

    An excellent forecast at 07:55 this morning on RTE Radio One by Joanna Donnelly. She talked about the big showers expected today and there could be some very heavy ones with hail, sleet and thunder. She also said to double your distance between vehicles when driving in the heavy showers and she mentioned the pile up last week which occurred during a heavy hail shower.

    In addition, she also said that before the heavy showers begin, there will be big gusts of wind with temperatures dropping quickly to 3/4c and to take shelter at this point. She also said that this is called the downdraft and it precedes big showers and is an early warning that heavy rain/hail is about to fall.

    A very practical, informative and educational forecast, Miss Donnelly. Well Done :)
