Blue skies in Dublin from 6am, cold but as the morning has gone on it’s steadily getting warmer.

Very good week ahead according to my app.

Lovely morning around Tralee, 14.6C back at my house.

Pic of Fenit around 11.00.

A beautiful afternoon with all stations reporting fair conditions at 2pm with a pleasant 18 degrees at Claremorris

.Donegal.

Another air frost for some last night. Casement also recorded an air frost.

Cracking day. A few stations still at 18C at 6pm. Just like the first two weeks of April, the end of April and start of May have been superb.

Lovely day down on Bray Seafront. Air temp 14c but with little to no sea breeze it felt warmer in the Sun and very pleasant.

The sea was very calm for the first half of the beach with the dogs and then all of a sudden big white top rollers loudly crashing on the shore. Evenly spaced and 45deg to the shore. There was still no wind. Was scratching my head for a minute until it hit me. The WB Yeats had passed Bray about 6k off shore about 15 minutes before. It was the Bow waves from the Ferry finally arriving at the shoreline. Confirmed when the waves stopped and it went back flat calm after 5 minutes. On a normal day with normal wave action you wouldn’t notice the bow waves interspersed with the normal wind action waves but because it was flat calm they really stood out as unusual.

The other unusual sight was various ships including the WB Yeats before it disappeared behind Bray Head floating in the sky over the ‘Horizon’. ie. Flat calm out to sea with some kind of temperature inversion layer or something like that creating a Mirage like sight.

That was over two weeks ago now. It can rain like that every second weekend if it means it’s followed by two weeks of almost non-stop sun and mild temps.

An amazing sunset this evening in Sutton, Dublin. The hazy cloud gave the brightest sun pillar I have seen in a long time and with good colour to beat.

The day only got nicer as it went along here near Tralee, reached a peak of 17.8C at my site around 17.00, big range after an overnight low of 3.8C.

Cool night again now down to 7.7C. What a beautiful sunset .

The sun pillar from Tipp.

When I was looking at adjusting the exposure in photoshop, I accidentally jogged a slider and went way too far, and noticed a circular bright spot which given the lens, would correspond pretty much to the size of the sun, except that had already set.

Was this the ice crystals acting like a mirror and reflecting the image of the sun from below the horizon?

Just gone over 14C at my house, still pockets of cool air in the shade around town but lovely morning, could get into the high teens or touching 20C here in Kerry today.

Stunning day again in Dublin

Another class day. Just like the first half of April, the great thing about this spell is the consistency. You know what you are going to get every day and can plan accordingly. Unusual for Ireland.

A few stations showing 18C at 1pm.

Beautiful afternoon

around Easter, didn’t you get any? I got around 75mm in the third week of April. (Dublin)

Mount Dillon May 6th: max 19.4c min -0.9c, even more remarkable than the 22c daily temperature range a month ago with the nights now a lot shorter.
