Croagh Patrick in Mayo today, sitting pretty above the clouds. Inversion was at just over 2,000ft at lunchtime when I arrived, it rose closer to summit level later in the afternoon. Crystal clear above the inversion, distant mountain tops looked very close (Nephin is in shot here)

All in all a nice day out

That would be remarkable as its April record is only 22.2c on 20th April 1943 and 16th April 2003 - it has a higher March temp record of 23.4c on 29th March 1965.

For curiosity sakes, Dunsany's April temp record is 22.1c on 25th April 1975 with the old manual station whilst 20.9c on 22nd April 2011 (Good Friday) with the automatic station that began its records in 2006.

No record at Phoenix Park but Dunsany had a max of 22.3c making it the warmest April day on record at the station for both the automatic station and all-time.

Actually seems Sunnier today when I was expecting more clouds.
But more of a breeze though.

It wouldn't reduce visibility that drastically no.

For airliners, no, but for light aircraft flying visually, possibly. The past week has already been difficult in that respect.

Cloudy and only about 12 degrees down here in West cork. Cork airport reporting 13 degrees and cloudy at home in the city so similar there too I'm assuming. Total opposite of yesterday,

Windy in Arklow gusting to 35kmh off the cold sea,so just 16c here now but sumny

sryanbruen · 21-04-2019 2:29pm

I'd be perfectly happy with this every single day between now and October 7th.

Hopefully we will get some days up to 30C in June, July and maybe August.

Back in the noughties I used to go to southern Spain at Easter. And generally got lousy weather there while it was good at home. Seems to be the case again this year.

Nothing worse than weather like a bad Irish summer when you go away for a bit of sun. The trick is go to Spain in the summer to escape a bad Irish summer.

That's what I try to do nowadays.

I wouldn't. I love seasons. I love warmth from June to end of September and then I love to see autumn arriving. And then a nice crispy winter.

Generally doesn't happen in Kerry. And temps up to 30C. Dream on! Sorry to be a party pooper but we could get a right let down this summer. I'd still be planning the get aways to Spain just in case!

Eh, temperatures exceeded 30c in my bank garden last June. And that wasn't a dream either.

im not sure whether to go to the off license,the pub or go to bed,

no wonder theres an alcohol problem in this country.

right now right across mainland europe everyones out enjoying the early summer like weather.brilliant blue skies and plenty of uv light.

youd hardly find a bench to sit on in this country.

such appalling recreactive infrastrutre,and its obvious why now.

You could well be right - this summer could be a major disappointment but my hunch is that we will get something similar to last year. It would be nice to have a warm and sunny August for a change. It has been a long time since that happened. Still, I am booking a trip to Spain in July as usually June tends to be our best summer month here
