Spring 2021 General Discussion

Went for a run this morning. The wind was even stronger than usual but I’m of the opinion now that’s constantly breezy in this country. Dark clouds. Ominous skies.

Plenty here in Leitrim. Horrid things.

Constant wind is just horrible. Praying for a decent summer at this stage!

Brutal day in East Cork.

SleetAndSnow

Rotten day in cork in general. Strong winds, heavy mist. Rotten

Oscar Bravo

A very windy afternoon here just outside Castlebar,but very mild.

Harry Palmr

Is it rather windier than the forecast suggested for the south and east? Some big gusts in the last 12-18 hours.

I have never seen a mosquito here.

Never seen them where I'm from in South Ulster but plenty in the midlands where I live now.

Not a fun hiking experience. As usual a nutty differential between 1200 feet and sea level, winds are about 10mph at my house..: but must be over 50mph sustained up there.

Dunno what it is about that hill/mountain but the wind is always dramatically higher up there.

Wet and windy weekend followed by the same this morning. Dreadful morning so far.
Leitrim

Yea it didn't start off very promising here in NCD, no rain but very windy and dull.

It's brighting up now though, sunshine coming through.

KanyeSouthEast

This wind is really irksome at the moment. Really unpleasant to try run or cycle into.

Thelonious Monk

Yes very windy today even though temps meant to get to 18c in Dublin. Looks like the wind will calm down after today for a couple of days at least.

Thelonious Monk

Sunbathing now, almost feels hot out my back garden, strong breeze is warm at least.

It's a bit of a mad day really. Went out for walk at lunch time needed the light coat as very strong breeze but when sun comes out and its sheltered its roasting!

yes if that wind would kindly f*ck off we'd have a summer's day on our hands

OldRio

Well at least the rain stopped, unfortunately only to be replaced by drizzle. Thick cloud and wind. Muck.

Nqp15hhu

Got up to 16.5c here unbelievably.

Wave clouds over our fair isle this evening:

KanyeSouthEast

Did any where other than the Dublin lads get good weather today. It’s overcast and windy here today all day.

Nqp15hhu

It was sunny here at times, particularly this evening.

highdef

Cloudy most of the day in north Kildare with some intervals of mostly cloudy and about an hour of partly cloudy.

SnowyMuckish

Horrible wet windy day here again in the NW, lakes in the lawn. Thankfully the winds have calmed, hoping for better weather tomorrow!

Thelonious Monk

Actually got a bit burnt on my face today from reading out the back! Looks like tomorrow will be the same but with no wind, and Google weather has wintry showers forecast for Monday. What a strange month.

appledrop

Your not the only one Thelonious, my husband got burnt aswell out doing the gardening.

Of course I did tell him to put on sunscreen but I was told it was only March!

Tomorrow should be even nicer without that wind.

Where do you live? It’s been mostly dry here all day and throughout this month.

OldRio

Ground is utterly saturated with the constant rain. Great weather for the ducks.

Yeah in Sligo too plus a strong wind and its still there today even though forecast has light Southerly wind

appledrop

It reached 17.5 at Phoneix Park yesterday.

Stunning morning here in NCD blue skies and sunshine and that dreaded wind is gone.

I hope those outside Dublin have a nicer day today.

I won't be putting away the winter clothes yet, looks like I'll need them on Monday.

pauldry

Cloudy here again but wind only 40kph today. Was up on 80kph yesterday.

12c too so not too bad

Nqp15hhu

Although hazy it’s actually sunny here and 15c

An interesting monthly rainfall accumulation disparity in local stations again.

From west to east:

Station 1: 120 mm
Station 2: 51mm
My station: 36mm

Odd

appledrop

17 degrees at Casement, Mullingar and Mt. Dillion at the moment.

There hasn't been a cloud in sky all day here in Dublin.

It's a summer day just in March rather than June!

OldRio

Cloudy and the Sun popped out about 4.30. At least it was dry. Leitrim

Glorious mild evening. Why does that cold have to come after the weekend! Praying it gets watered down or misses us altogether

Nqp15hhu

No thanks praying it comes... one last blast of winter thanks.
