Also we're having a lot of trouble with cattle getting pneumonia, scours etc. The cattle are sweating in the sheds. With us they tend to be very hairy animals to adapt to the mountainy cold. This is a problem however in mild weather as the animals sweat a lot. Very hard to ventilate the sheds. Also while 2005/6 had a mild winter and beautiful summer, most times it doesn't work out that way. The weather synoptics we've had since October or so would have given us one hell of a summer We'd be most fortunate to have them repeated in any shape or form from June to the end of August. Generally you get your quota of high pressure, atlantic spells etc each year.. with exceptions of course. Hopefully this summer will be an exception like 2006. But up my neck of the woods with very heavy, wet soils i'd hate to have to bring in cattle so as not to plough up the land in August as we had to in 2008 and 2012. Also, with due respect to those who suffer from flooding, it's my experience that your better off having it rain like anything from late October to mid March or early April (when we'd spread fertiliser). That's the time of the year for it. Not the long evenings from 1st April until early October, and most especially not the summer months.

I hope the return of the Atlantic is short- lived, but if it must return, perhaps we will see a few topplers. With that in mind a poster on the netweather strat thread seems convinced we will have low pressure systems passing to the north west of Ireland during February

Usually winter is either calm and cold/frosty or mild and windy/stormy. Snow and hard frosts will stop me from cycling to work and put me back onto the M50 car park. Wind is something that can suck the joy out of cycling. This mild, calm, weather is just brilliant for cycling.
