I suffer from SAD and need light - this May is abominable.. getting some support from this thread (in a "we are all in this together" kind of way) - big hug all

This May is very similar to June 2019 and July 2020, an absolute basket case of a month for the very end of Spring. May is often a decent month but this has to be the coldest May we have had for many years.

We may see signs of an improvement in the first half of June but even right now any signs of high pressure looks short lived and the cool theme could last well into June with more signs of northern blocking on the horizon.

Usually don't turn the heat on in April not talk about the end of May. Tempted now though as house is freezing.

The indo is reporting that may is 600% more than this month last year at Dublin Airport.

I'm picking up a polytunnel this evening. Looks like I won't get the weather to erect cot for the foreseeable future.

I think we should have a tribunal and haul all the prognistators of bad weather before it. Punishment to be decided. Maybe getting rid of them will give us good weather in an appease the weather gods kind of way

I never knew ferries could abort landing like a plane, and head off to another port:eek:

Marine Layer thanks for that post from Arklow Weather.

In knots here, so funny!

I was expecting John Doyle....

....ended up splurting out coffee all over the keyboard!!!

I'm afraid on the latest model runs that drier weather has been toned down immensely. However the model runs up to today had been showing warm and dry so it may return somewhat.

appledrop · 21-05-2021 07:13PM

Hope this works!

Happy outdoor dining.

This weather sucks, isn't there so good weather on the horizon?

pauldry · 21-05-2021 10:17PM

The heats back on!! ......The central heating that is.

From mid next week it's looking drier and warmer.

As ever, it's not nailed down but temps looking more seasonal for the time of year; 17º to 19º - maybe more.

Corrected your post

Lovely blue skies here at last in NCD.

Still windy and cool, max 12 degrees today but I'll take it after bad weather.

Off to park, before it takes a turn for worse yet again tomorrow with rain forecast for the day.

sporina · 22-05-2021 10:11AM

phew a reprieve from the wind rain here in Cork.. lovely Sunny morning,.. heading to the coast for the day - enjoy all

DumbBrunette · 22-05-2021 03:56PM

Sunny, dry and breezy today in Mayo. Monday to Wednesday this week were similar, only Thursday and Friday were crappy. All in all not too bad for an unsettled spell.

KanyeSouthEast · 22-05-2021 10:00PM

Today was dry and bright here. It was cold though you wouldn’t go out without a jacket. And standing still for any period of time you’d be cut by the wind. But al least it was peeing rain.

KanyeSouthEast · 23-05-2021 09:34AM

Another peach of a morning. Heavy rain dull and a temp hovering around 8 degrees with a real feel of 5 degrees. Shocking.

Oneiric 3 · 23-05-2021 09:54AM

This weather is disgusting - there is simply no other way to describe it. It looks and literally feels like the worst mid-January can throw at us, but at least you sort of expect it then.

namloc1980 · 23-05-2021 10:32AM

A bit of a reprieve yesterday but it's back with a vengeance today. Horrendous, no other words.

Rock Lesnar · 23-05-2021 10:42AM

Horrible, just horrible in Meath, no cycling today

Rega · 23-05-2021 11:08AM

Raining all morning in Kilkenny too. Hoping it eases off a bit so I can get out for a run. Lighting the stove now. FFS

Niall145 · 23-05-2021 11:15AM

A day for the fireside.

fryup · 23-05-2021 11:35AM

a day for watching a rerun of the eurovision, who won?

Who cares

Hooter23 · 23-05-2021 12:12PM

We are now only around 4 weeks away from the longest day of the year when the sun will be at its strongest...and yet temperatures are not much better as back in december/january 6 months ago...it actually felt milder during the winter when there was no heat in the sun at all...even in summer if you go the beach you have to stay in your car to feel a bit of heat most of the time...people just go down to the beach in summer park up and look out at the wind and rain
