Spring 2020 - General Discussion

Clear blue skies. Light easterly breeze. That will do

the rest of this month is now looking largely dry, there may be a few sprinkles of rain. Plenty of easterly winds over the next few weeks so expect eastern coastal areas to remain fairly chilly. Northern and Southern coasts may be chilly at times too.

I welcome the lack of rain with open arms, we had 7 non stop months of deluges and no doubt the rains will be back here within a few weeks. The rain always comes back and when it does it lasts for months on end!

I know theres a slight risk of people going outside when they shouldn't but can you imagine this lockdown in Autumn - Winter of last year with constant rain and muck. It would have had people going mad.

Pesky cloud coming off the sea. Overall mostly cloudy in D9. Looks gorgeous over 99% of the country on satellite.

Beautiful day here in Kerry, cool in the breeze this morning but got up to 16.3C and currently 15.2C and fallen to near calm with just a bit of NE breeze. Rh down to a very pleasant 61%.

Working in a shaded area of the garden and felt very warm, great growth with the leaves bursting out.

Im sure the usual wind and rain will be back as soon as lockdown is over:rolleyes:

glorious sunny blue skies today, however it is really cold and that breeze would cut you in two at times! Despite the cold, the sun is very nice and far more enjoyable than milder and wetter, mucky conditions.

Lovely sunny day in Cork city
Cold breeze at times but it seems to have died off a lot and is lovely now

Crazy just how big the contrast was today with the wind, was painting the house all day and when sheltered from the wind I was in a t-shirt and sweating, by the time I reached the other side of the house I was in a winter fleece and still cold! Stunning day as long as you could escape the wind

Got a bit sunburned today as well for the first time this year

Freezing cold wind today but despite that once you were wrapped up it was a lovely spring day especially this evening with the sun.

One small advantage of having to stay within 2km for walks is that you see little daily changes in nature.

We have beautiful cherry blossoms in our area + over last week we have seen small buds on other trees opening up. Probably helped by heat of last few days.

Does feel a lot warmer then that here, garden thermostat is reading 12/313 but could be wrong too! Either way its a pure blue sky here and its great.

Beautiful day here too blue skies and blazing sunshine. 13 degrees but feels very pleasant in it in fairness.

Oscar Bravo

Airport up on the hill ,easterly breeze will keep it cool but id say your spot on with 12/13 in the garden. Lovely to have the clear blue skies!

After the brief return to winter it's become a warm enough afternoon in the sun.
A pity there's one of those annoying cut off lows heading our way.

“ We badly need rain Well some anyway - we got nothing yesterday in the SE and as things stand Friday is only a 50/50 by which point it'll be over three weeks without rain worth measuring.”
You will be happy so ?
Assuming it brings rain of course

Gonzo

fantastic day here in Meath, another cold day technically but it felt a lot warmer than 12C.

My head is like a tomato, the last few days out in the garden with the kids that sun sure is strong on the skin.
