Total opposite of a day in Cork city now. Lashing rain, dark and chilly.

Lashing rain here but after fabulous few days I couldn't care one bit.

A perfect day for catching up on Nexflix + enjoying those Easter Eggs!

Dry here in Castlebar with no rain overnight either. Mostly cloudy,although it is turning brighter from the north. Cool in a fresh N/NE wind.

damp here in Meath but the chill is something else compared to recent days, only 7C here, a full 10C colder than this time yesterday. I doubt it will even make 10C here today.

Little bit damp in Kildare but nothing to what I was expecting anyways. Cold though.

Much colder but dryer than expected in south mayo

and here we have that huge temperature drop, temperatures have completely fallen off the cliff across Ireland as expected today and indeed their has been some snow on high ground. England holds onto the very warm conditions for 1 more day, they will be as cold as us tomorrow. Parts of Cork only 5 or 6C, they got to 21C yesterday.

Classic USA style temperature fluctuations! Not often we get such a massive temperature drop in the space of 24 hours

Waiting for the rain....looks like it won't get to the South east at all. No often I want some but it would be handy to have a splash.

Or more (x4)!

At the moment, Cork AP 6c and Heathrow AP 24c!

Gonzo

Temperatures in the London area tomorrow will struggle to reach 9C, a possible 16C drop in temperature for them tomorrow, or more!. Eastern half of Ireland still very cold tomorrow.



Temperatures will begin to recover by midweek but eastern coasts and Dublin will remain chilly.



Temperatures in the Dublin area will struggle to get much past 12C over the following week with easterly breezes keeping it on the cold side.

after a damp start this morning it's dry here again, very little rain here too, was expecting it to be a wetter day, but the cold certainly delivered.

The sun is starting to break through the clouds in Dublin 5. We got more rainfall from the day the March dry spell broke than today from the looks of things, I don't know if the figures agree with me or not though.

all I've seen today is a few drops, ground was damp this morning but no pooling of water anywhere so can't have been much more than drizzle overnight. Some fairly heavy looking rain making it's way towards the Wexford coast up from the south-east.

Looks like some pulses will come on shore and just about make the Dublin area tonight

I very much doubt that very many are complaining about the weather in present circumstances but it`s like chalk and cheese comparing Ireland and southern parts of the UK today.

The whole world has been turned upside down over the last few weeks and months so I suppose it`s no surprise the weather is turning a little off the wall as well.

Clear blue skies have moved down from the north here in Castlebar.nice end to the day. Plenty of sunshine over the next few days.

Nice asperatis display just passed over Dublin. Hope your Easter has been going well despite you know what.

Didn't get the wet weather I expected either.

a look at today's maximum temperatures and the south-west was the coldest part of the country with temperatures struggling to reach a high of 9C, temperatures in the south-west stayed around 7 or 8c for much of the day. The east managed to reach double figures towards the evening but still cold overall.



Tomorrow will bring an improvement to western areas with an increase in temperatures, should be dry everywhere but the east will be cold again, possibly a degree or two colder than today was. Temperatures tomorrow 9 to 13C across the west and 6 to 9C in eastern areas, possibly 10 or 11C more towards the midlands. A frost tomorrow night with a low of -1C. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last of the bitterly cold days till next October. The high teens of the past few days really spoilt us and our expections going forward.

It could be raining for over a year in this country and then we get 2 weeks worth of sun and they start saying we're running out of waater

There is a thread for drought potential this year already running.
