Beautiful morning here in Dublin 5. This week hasn't been bad at all, most of the muck has been confined to nighttime.

This is similar to how much of Winter 2013-14 evolved here. Nights were frequently stormy but days tended to be fine for the most part with lots of sun and mild conditions - it was even one of the sunniest Winters on record.

True Atlantic muck to me is long fetched southwesterly winds with a Bartlett High. This is not one of those thankfully - this is a westerly wind.

possibility of some wintryness on Saturday night/Sunday morning in places, most likely over high ground with south-east of the country at a greater risk. Will probably be rain for most of us.



for now this is taking a very southerly track so this may not effect many of us. Icon has it further south with wintryness confined to the Wicklow mountains.

Maybe I should have ordered those snow shows after all, another fun hike up Lug Sunday

Getting the train from cork to Dublin in a few, will be fun tomorrow on the way back during the storm to see the different severity in different places east/south. (Also just going to try and past the time haha). Temperatures today as well.

When can we expect this beautiful mild weather?

Who said anything about *beautiful* mild weather?

Gonzo

horrible day here in south Meath, lots of short, sharp showers, horizontal rain and hail, gusts and very wet conditions.

Artane2002

Maybe I'm not overly picky but I thought today was pretty good in Dublin. Yes, there were quite a few showers but at least they were brief enough and we had a fair bit of sunshine. I'd prefer this weather in April/November though.

It's seems to be a horrible day there a lot Gonzo. Might be time to up sticks to a new climate? As I don't think much will change over the coming years.....

Also, I think you live in Meath? Beautiful county by the way, God help you if you lived in Galway/Mayo, they get twice the rain there!!!

I think this has just been one horrible dirty winter in general, 6 weeks of muck from November into December, then more in January and now February!

Talked on the phone to family in BC Canada. They have all boarded up their windows and doors as a snowstorm was starting and an 80 mph
gale with it. Huge snowflakes falling as we talked.

They keep the Irish weather up to watch out for me!

Yea that little low has really caught some of us out. Looks a very interesting feature, developing in cold air too, so could be some ninja snow also.

Very windy in NW and W initially, blustery overland , fast moving and filling LP weakening as it crosses the country, cold day made colder by the Northerly sourced wind, band of rain looks a bit wintry in Northern counties, possibly some sporadic thunder/ hail showers. Getting very cold below freezing in places in Northern counties later in the evening.

Yup. We will take that!

Gonzo

looking forward to the mild of the next 7 to 10 days. With no cold or snow for the forseeable future we may as well bring on the mild.

Exactly. No need for it if it doesn’t bring snow.

It hasn't been bad at all. February has started off very good here and is already sunnier than the entirety of December yet we're not even half way through.

Grand - but would prefer to save such synoptics for Spring proper, or even better summer!!

SleetAndSnow

Mixture of sleet and snow currently in cork city? Can see the snow blowing around and the sleet continuing to fall. It is tiny very wet though and for a brief second only

Some very dark clouds incoming however.

Meteorite58

Big wintry showers here in Tralee, with sunshine, plenty of hail mixed in , just 5.3C in a brisk N'ly wind. 3.2mm

Gonzo

looks like mostly pleasant conditions once we get today out of the way. Increasingly mild and mostly dry. Temperatures could reach 13 or 14C for much of the coming week. Turns a bit cooler towards average temperatures after next weekend, but still mild for time of year.

gozunda

Feels very cold here today with significant wind chill. Heavy rain and hailstones here this morning.
