Beautiful here in Celbridge.

Lovely day in Meath. The sky has cleared and a surprisingly warm sun despite it only being 10c. Have a nice sheltered spot from the cool east breeze and it feels like a summers day.

Yes it's lovely now! Good month so far for the most part, I hope this nonsense starting on Sunday doesn't last too long.

Another stunningly beautiful day here in NCD.

Not a cloud in sky for few past few hours.

Bird song everywhere and buzzards soaring in sky.

It's says only 9 degrees but we are out in sheltered back garden definitely feels about 16 degrees in the sun.

Spectacular day in D16. Met eireann reckons it's only around 9 degrees here but feels a hell of a lot warmer in the sun.

Beautiful afternoon I’d say the nicest so far this year lovely and warm in the sun.

Just saw another thread predicting snow. I assumed this was an April’s fools joke and posters actually willing it to happen. It reminds me of people who don’t want Lockdowns to end!!!

Or of people who wish for 30c+ during summer?

I agree with your first point though, today is the nicest day of the year so far for me.

Tuesday was the best day here in NCD as it was like today except 17 degrees, don't get me wrong today also fab but not as warm.

Didn't get it done in North Mayo...still quite damp and don't want to leave marks on it with ride on for the sake of waiting a week.

Yeah, working outside today and felt warm out of the wind and quite cool in the shade .Was out a while ago passing the gable end of the house and you could feel the warmth radiating off it. Sun is getting strong, can feel it the face, could get burnt easily, got a moderate UV index reading of 3.9 today.

Cloudless skies from start to finish in Mayo today. A beautiful Spring day.

First sunny day since I think some time in February here. Was stuck in the 'office' until late so missed most of it but great to have the longer evenings now. Hopefully a repeat tomorrow
