    Worst heatwave ever. Still it's dry and looks like remaining so in the Deise for the next week and maybe longer.

    Slow to warm up here near Tralee this morning under an overcast sky with the lightest bit of mist blowing in the wind ( didn't stop me painting the house though ), Cloud opened up here about 13.30 giving a burst of sunlight bringing the temp up to 15.6C, back now to 13.5C with more cloud about. Pleasant enough day.

    Looks like a scorcher over in the UK

    Quite warm here in the North East of England, phones telling me 21c, very breezy and the sun is very hazy, I'd say it's not long until it's gone completely.

    Apparently it was 25 in the south east, meanwhile it was below zero at the top of Ben Nevis.
    There is one chart showing snow for the South East of England next weekend :eek:

    Cork looks like it could be up there with the warmest Temperatures tomorrow with a decent 16C or so. The SE and E not bad either.

    Is this the start of "The Great Irish Drought" in Ireland?:pac:

    Looking at the charts High Pressure seems to be in charge and moves away for a bit allowing a northerly airflow to develop.
    I can't see much precipitation coming from the north especially making it as far as the south east of Ireland and then it looks like high pressure is coming back at the end of the runs.

    Who switched off the Atlantic and the Jet Stream?
    Not complaining mind.:)

    I've been loving this April so far here. Less than 3mm of rainfall and no rainfall at all from the 4th-11th (still no rainfall today so far). Not very sunny and rather mild. I really like how benign it is!

    I did not say VERY mild, I said rather mild which is like +0.5 to +1.0c above the average.

    I didn't mean to emphasise the very bit in my post Syran. That's good to know re soil temps I put down some new grass last Saturday and no sign of life

    I'm in the same boat, seed down 2.5 weeks now and hasn't started to grow either. Grass growth in general is slow enough down here probably due to the lack of rain I'd imagine!

    No and why are you wanting it to snow anyway this late in the year?

    I hear its still snowing in parts of northern and eastern Europe. Britain got loads of snow during winter and Ireland didnt so maybe it will even itself out and Ireland will get more snow this month?
