She wasn't an ambi-turner, she had problems turning right...

Yeah I will miss Joanna. I liked her style. I hope she enjoys retirement.

I suppose she has 30 years worked and wants to try something else.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Cork. Just 0.5mm of rain so went to Fota with the other 30,000 people. Ya do forget just how peaceful the Northwest is.

Back to rain today so swam for an hour in the pool. Will go to gym later as that's what I do in the constant sligo rain.

After a dry morning rain kicked in at lunch time. Heavy at the moment. Leitrim.

Rain starting again in south Dublin.

Another shocker in North Ros,certainly an April of two halves. Have doubts about high pressure returning looking at the weather models 🫤

It caught me off guard, I was away yesterday to enjoy a few hours of dryness and this morning seemed nice but then back to the deluge pattern from this afternoon. A week ago the ground here was bone dry and now it's like a sponge with squelch everywhere and water pooling. The past 5 days have mostly been horrid, the dry first half to April is well and truly wiped out at this stage.

My garden is a swamp at the moment.

Haven't seen relentless rain like this all winter.

April 2025 is now wetter than April 2024 at Dublin Airport, you wouldn't have thought it at the start of the month. We might beat April 2023 too for the wettest April since 2016. It's unlikely right now but we can't rule out passing 2012 and 2016 for wettest April since 2001.

Amazing, the weather patterns these past few years goes from very dry to very wet like a flip of a coin.

Yeah you had only 12mm of rain in the 45 days up to mid April. A week later and you are up to 72mm of rain. Mad stuff really. Deluge indeed!

Friday and Saturday were very wet here in Galway but Sunday/Monday were pleasant days outdoors. Today was a shocker with heavy rain until around 5pm. They key with Ireland is to make the most of the dry periods.

The things I miss most about the sunny weather in the first half of April are the sunsets and the starry nights. They were stunning.

Unfortunately In Dublin it's rained everyday since last Thursday and more than expected most days.

The 'nice' days on Sunday and Monday didn't happen.

At least they got today right, dry up until about 2pm then lashing fot the rest if day( they got that right!) so those of us who are not in work could get out before the rain came.

We have tried to make most of it and at least we are off for rest of week.

Yeah but Dublin Airport led a charmed life in March. 13mm rain in March 2025 compared to 115mm in March 2024. You've had more rain in the last week than in all of February and March and half of April.

appledrop

Oh I know Cluedo, if it wasn't Easter I wouldn't be complaining at all as would just be in work so it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.

Just disappointing when so many people look forward to time off over Easter to get out and about.

Maybe its my fault for being off work, if the sun spilts the trees again next week when I'm back in work you can all make sure I don't take anymore time off😁.

Agree. This is the time of year when people want weather, from now onwards. Dry, fine spells are always a bonus in Ireland, but no good as early as March if later spring and summer are crap. Really disappointing Easter spell for the many on hols now.😒

alentejo

Is it just me, but lately the weather outlook 4 to 5 days inadvance seems OK, then a major downgrade with 48 hours. More heavy rain forecast Thursday night and in to Friday with rain forecast most of Friday. All forcasts over the Easter had Dublin remaining relatively dry towards the latter part of the impending weekend!
