    Feeling very chilly at Grange with light rain and overcast skies. Not a nice start to Friday.

    Very wet start to Friday on the east coast,hopefully it will dry out later and we get at least few rests between the various fronts enough to enjoy a bit of spring warmth,but it looks quite poor overall, hard to find many positives apart from Donegal postman's prediction :) and ECMWF FI charts

    Lovely bright morning in Castlebar, first day this week we have avoided rain, well so far anyway, highest temperature this week was just 12.1C here on Monday, getting as low as 1.2C last night.

    I think Clonmel the only difference is it's colder than November! You'd generally be around 11C. Yesterday at home it didn't rise above 7C.

    3.8mm as that low system tracked further north overnight and slow to move on, GFS had tracked it further north but moved inline with ECM which was a fair bit off in the end. Nothing like surprise rain hey!

    OK I misread the post, but I still would say that it`s an exaggeration to state that the amount of rain free days in Cork since July have been in the single figures. As poor as the weather has been there have surely been more than that.

    I am coming to the conclusion that the ECM has become an overrated model, while the GFS is increasingly underrated. I've lost count how many times this year alone that rain fell here that was not forecast by the ECM.

    I remember air frost the first few nights of May 1996. At a Cumann na MBunscoil hurling match today. Heavy rain 7C at 12pm. I had a nephew 7 playing and i felt sorry for him between the weather and the fact that it's a small national school and he had to play to fill in the numbers and got flattened a few times :D He said 'a Jesus ref that's a free i got ran over' and his teacher shouted at him for calling the Lord's name in vain!! Bad day all round:D

    Looking at MT’s forecast, the weather looks like it could be ok for next weekend. Thinking about going camping in Achill for the long weekend. Is it likely to stay dry and mild or are we being too optimistic this early in the year? I know it’s a week away but any advice welcome.
