Thankfully the sun and blue skies appeared this afternoon. Nice evening sky.

My daughter is another creature of the dark. She has always loved winter and the dark evenings & nights. When very young, she would cry late spring time knowing she wouldn’t see the moon or stars for months. In her teens now and has never changed - much more bearable of course as she can stay up late on weekends and holidays to see the night sky.

Not me. I’m a gardener and love spring & summer.

Lovely afternoon & evening in the North east. Sunny & bright, if a tad chilly. Got lots of work done outside.

turned into a very pleasant evening. Definitely not shorts weather but just a relief from the rain the dullness and damp. Great to see a blue sky and a bit of sunshine.

Wow mykrodot, how are ye lot down the road in Derrynane so much luckier than us up here in Tralee! 😔 Maybe it's the beautiful "vale of Tralee" and all the mountains, because at 8.30 PM here I got utterly sick of looking out at the gloom and closed the blinds. Even the poor cat couldn't hack it, too cold [she's getting old] and came in. Certainly no sunsets here.

Really hoping for a decent day tomorrow to finally get some garden work done.

In Austria this week, certainly in Tirol, they are expecting a week of fairly continuous snowfall down to 800m, probably three most continuous period of snowfall since Nov - and all the ski slopes bar glaciers have closed; weather is amazing, although I feel sorry for the farmers and the cows

Oh no that's awful. I live 15 km from Tralee myself but regularly go to Derrynane to mind a friend's house. It was dull and drizzly leaving home today, drove into the sun from Cahersiveen onwards, bliss! I think that's unusual for South Kerry, especially Cahersiveen. Hope it reaches Tralee tomorrow, this was about 5pm close to Derrynane.

Lovely evening in Sligo n possible aurora too. Still not a 24hr dry day but lovely to see deep blue skies. Tomorrow n Sunday even better n maybe Monday too. 3 warm sunny days. I'll definitely take that.

@sryanbruen Maybe it’s a question you’ve had before but when do we typically record the first 20c of the year? /earliest/latest? Thanking you

At last! A really beautiful sunny morning in Tralee, hallelujah! Getting really stuck into my garden work and loving it, long may it last! Just taking a quick break for a cuppa. What a difference a nice day makes, enjoy it everyone.😀

Indeed it is, coffee by the ponds down the back this morning.

Absolutely ideal conditions for me in Dublin this morning. Dry, sunny, cool and fresh.

KanyeSouthEast

so is it warm or cool in Dublin this morning?

Gonzo

A beautiful day at last here in Meath, it's been a long time coming!

Nice morn in Cork, Parkrun with no heavy wind was nice. Last night was good too, been a decent week overall considering how bad it is most of the time here. I see the tops are off already and there has been a steady flow of customers at the off license nearby !

It's 11 degrees. It was 0 degrees when I got up at dawn. I think that's cool enough - but that's how I like it! I don't want it to warm up at all!

I'm surprised at how warm it was so early in West Mayo, out of the shelter of the light breeze at 10am it felt...quite hot! Really beautiful day here right on the coast.

A stunningly beautiful morning, Costa del Dollymount.

I agree, when we were at the beach yes there was a little bit of a breeze but when your in a sheltered spot it is absolutely roasting and heat in the sun is a tonic after all the miserable weather!

Dazler97

Lovely and sunny here in carrick on shannon 😀 uv levels are between 3 to 5 today , plenty to do with the garden so I'm taking advantage of this good weather

Non stop in the garden today, I've longed for a day like this for so so long.

Stunning day in Galway, went out past spiddal on the bike. **** scalded!

Real warm, tshirt weather.

Gonzo

Today was a stunning day even if it wasn't that warm, easily the best day since early October 2023. We should get another very nice day tomorrow then back to the chill and showery conditions from Monday so I'll be making the most of tomorrow.
