The wettest March day on record is March 6th 1992 when Cloone Lake, Co. Kerry recorded 122.0mm of rainfall.

Just to add that that -17.1c occurred in Sligo. (Markee Castle)

I'll let Syran deal with the rain stats though in more recent records, the end of March 2010 was quite wet.

What is the wettest March day on record? Also what is the coldest March daytime temperature ever recorded here? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about them as I will have to do some very challenging research to get the answers. But I will do it! In relation to the coldest March day on record (referring to the minimum temperature that JCX BXC posted), here ya go:

A lovely cool -17.2 is the coldest March temperature ever recorded in Ireland.

Wow!! What year was that? I did not think it was possible to get a temperature that low in March. It would be great to see the charts at the time.

Quick moving frontal rain arriving in the early hours into the SW before moving up over the country. Forecast of wintry weather for a time early in the midlands tomorrow.

Kerry /Cork looking very windy tomorrow morning, and a second round of windy weather perhaps in the evening in the W ( other models not showing it as windy in the W in the evening ) EDIT: Clare also looks windy earlier Sun morning according to the ARPEGE with a fast moving area of LP running across the country.

The fields are like lakes though.

Only 1.4mm since midnight.

Sitting in St Stephens Green and while it's chilly enough, when the sun comes out (which it's doing pretty often), it's really nice and warming. Pretty lovely morning, although the rain clouds are starting to accumulate

Ahh we have our own graces7 in the east too!

Cool overcast breezy morning about as unspringlike as you could hope to find.

Meteorite58

Wind picked up here on the Kerry coast this evening up to 40 km/h NW

Met Eireann this evening mentioned could have strong winds on SW /S coasts on Sunday.

The Daily Mail is a well known hate rag, and like most British tabloids, is rooted in fascist thought and thinking. The Daily Mail in particular has a long and inglorious history of spurring on hatred of minorities, which I suppose stems from the days when they supported Hitler and right-wing fascism. Why rags like these are allowed on Irish news paper shelves I don't know.

I hear about all of this snow on the forecast and i havn't seen a flake of snow yet...why do they keep lying to us. We have been in spring for the last 8 months and i want to experience a bit of winter snow for a effin change. I dont get what people don't undeestand about that. All i see is stupid pictures of the wicklow mountains, conemara and carrauntoohil. How come we didnt get any snow on low ground? Whats all the talk of snow for if all we get is stupid rain? This needs to change. I for one am sick of the lies.

So the fact that you've not seen snow is the fault of forecasters...I mean the Daily Mail? Toys. Pram.

Gonzo

if met eireann mention that it could be cold and frosty with wintry showers over high ground, The Daily Mail and other similar rags issue warnings that temperatures will easily go as low as -10C widely and a foot or more of snow.

Same goes for warm weather, if it looks like going beyond 20C, the british rag papers in particular highlight potential 3 months of 32C+ and endless droughts.

The same crap gets published every year.

They rarely issue reports on rain because rain is boring and we get that all the time and doesn't sell papers.

Articles? Show me a Met Eireann article, and I'd love even more to see a clickbait one. You're referring to sources like the Daily Mail etc. You do realise that all these articles misquote Met Eireann all the time.

Try reading the actual forecast and taking it at face value.

The bbc forecaster at 9:55 was talking about a colder spell next weekend and he mentioned it lasting for a while. It seemed a bold statement to make this far out.

I know, that was Jay Wynne. I'm not believing any cold spells that are being hinted at by models since the late December-early January cold spell that was hinted at which never happened.
