Spring 2019 - General Discussion

Donegal Storm

Seemed to be a bit of land based convection across the country looking at the radar earlier, first time I've noticed that this year. I'd say if there's one dividing line between winter and spring its when showers start getting more intense over land rather than dying out!

Cold winter air around the Artic has begun it's Spring retreat as the sun gets over the horizon at more northern latitudes. From now on it is ever more difficult for colder air to get this far south.

Welcome to Spring.

As dark, drab, dank, depressing a morning as ever was.

Beasty; sincere apologies for my references. I had no idea and have been off the computer since y'day afternoon so only just got your message. Thank you

dull and a bit cold in the breeze in Cork City. Endless grey skies.

cool, damp, dreary day. I'm really looking forward to milder, dryer and hopefully some sunny conditions soon.

Been the wettest March on record back to 1910 already at Northern Ireland.

Lovely today in Cork City!. After a drizzly start, it turned to sunny spells only now clouding over. Warm breeze, warm sun. Really felt like spring. First time feeling a warm breeze in months! Cork Airport reporting 16 degrees, Moore park up to 17!

Beautiful day in Tralee. Quite warm in the sunshine.

Gonzo

very nice evening after a horrible first half of the day.

Things are looking promising for plenty of high pressure over the next few weeks.

Donegal Storm

Same in Donegal, terrible morning but easily the nicest evening all month and the first time it's really felt spring-like, more of the same please!

Mix of cloud and blue skies in Dublin this morning. Sun currently trapped behind clouds but clouds trying to burn or pass. Grand weather.

15.0c now in Dublin (16). Very nice!

Decent enough in D8. Cloud now building though so sunny spells are turning more into prolonged cloudy spells. Light breeze taking the edge off the temperatures but it could be a lot worse!
