Spring 2019 - General Discussion

Donegal Storm

Horrible cold wet day in Letterkenny. Aside from a few mild / briefly warm overcast days earlier in the week its been a poor month here so far, very little sun

Does anyone know what went wrong with yesterday's reports?

Raining here now
I could see it black drifting down through the mountains for the last hour
Its giving the ground a wetting

Dry all day in Arklow but it had tried around noon with one or two drops
This is a decent shower though

Cold dull evening.

Not a drop of rain in mid Galway, few drops yesterday that wouldn't make a cup of tea

It didn't really improve this afternoon in Kerry like I thought it might. Very overcast all day. A nice bright evening now, but cold. Far too cold for May.

Will May be remembered as being cold or for the “heatwave”?

cold night in Meath, drops of drizzle every now and then, fire lit.

Unfortunately it's about to get colder, particularly from the second half of next week and into the first week of June looks quite chilly in deed with temperatures possibly 1 to 4 degrees below normal, if the medium range forecasts are to be believed.

certainly no heatwave this May, hopefully second half of June into July will deliver some decent temperatures and sunny skies. This May and most of 2019 to date certainly the complete opposite of last year.

waking to wind and rain.

Donegal Storm

Another horrible grey wet morning, a nice Donegal shaped blob of rain on the radar :rolleyes:

Clonmel1000

Wet and overcast here too. Cool obviously too.

OldRio

Fire lit last night. Cool and disappointing weather.

Have people with a young baby staying with us, had to put on the heating this morning being only 11.5C outside.

Was thinking of doing a bit of block work but it has the look of becoming showery in the afternoon. Could do with the rain though as only had 8.8mm so far in 16 days and just 56mm for April, my ponds are almost fully dried out and the water collected from the roofs is used up. The recent warmish weather gave a great burst of growth here in Kerry with silage contractors busy on the land. Apart from some hit and miss showers over the next couple of days looks like Weds night into Thurs for more widespread rain.

very cool cloudy morning here in Meath.

Found it mild enough today personally. I've felt it cooler.

Another very pleasant day in Cork, humidity is nice and low too so great visibility making for some spectacular views over the bays down here.

Some showers over weekend have brought May rain in Sligo town to 8mm
Collooney 35mm

Clear blue sky, sun rising, flat calm.... but oh my the midges! Outside work abandoned and dramamine taken....all is bone dry but until a breath of wind cannot water..

lawred2

Lovely blue sky morning. Will it last? Wouldn't be surprised to see clouding over by 10am
