    Malin head on 10am met reports was 1051hpa

    Finner Camp and Belmullet now are too.

    Might as well save this current obs page for historical sakes. Apparently, this is the first time that Ireland has had a MSLP of 1050hPa or above since 1957!

    Cloud going away and sun starting to come out in Cork City! A week of no rain and mostly sun. This is great

    Yes. We need all the good news we can get in current circumstances.

    Chilly breeze in Limerick.

    Temperature more akin to November or February.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,243 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    Clear blue skies here in Castlebar with a light NE breeze. Cool in the shade. (Very bright ISS pass tonight @8.41pm) . On a side note rare to have bright blue skies and no aircraft overhead at all. Strange days


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭Hooter23


    Its amazing how clear the sky has been last few days with no planes around


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭pad199207


    One word. Arctic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,243 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    The M4 62093 Donegal buoy recorded an atmospheric pressure of 1051.9 at 12:00 today.
    This is the highest atmospheric pressure recorded by a buoy and also equals the synoptic station
    record for Ireland which was logged at Valentia, Co Kerry on 28th January 1905.

    Just back from a walk. Very cold with that biting northeast wind but when it eases off and the sun is out it’s actually very pleasant

    I think the low humidity has something to do with as well? I was out walking the local boreens yesterday with panoramic views of the mountains on the Cork/Tipp border to the north and Ballycotton lighthouse to the south. It was remarkably clear compared to usual.

    All of the chemtrails conspricery therosts are out in force in the last week or so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Mortelaro

    Yeah don’t mind them


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭Hooter23


    Very cold breeze could have been even colder had that freezing air coming down from the arctic directly hit us...like it was suppose to do in earlier forecasts...lucky it didnt too cold as it is especially when the cloud comes along


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭Joe Public


    Just to add to the "clear sky" subject, the sky is amazingly clear tonight. I don't remember seeing such a clear sky for more than 40 years.
    Is lack of air craft the main reason?

    Can you break that down for us lay people?

    I think the main reason is that theres a big high pressure off the NW coast steering down a cool clear North easterly airflow . I agree with you,even now, the amount of stars to be seen is the best in a long time.
    More cloud from tomorrow but very little rain for the week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,243 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo

    Basically a big area of high pressure north west of Belmullet which gave us the cool(cold) weekend.

    Yes the brightness of stars and moon has been ridic last few nights in Dublin 5. Is this just down to this pressure stuff that I don't understand? I was thinking maybe it's down to lack of cars and planes and less activity in the city, but I'm probably wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 553 ✭✭✭Wine Goddess


    Has anyone noticed that the sky has been sort of an orange colour recently? I mean not the sky itself but when I looked at the clouds at around midnight there was this definite orange hue which they picked up?
    It looked here as if the sun hadn't quite gone down, there was an orangey hue to the sky when you looked westwards?
    It's been 3 nights in a row now the same phenomenon.
    Admittedly we're in West Dublin Firhouse but light pollution doesn't explain it completely as I have never seen that colour before.
    Anyone know what it might be?
    Thanks in advance!

    Been a fabulous morning here near Tralee, cloud increasing but still good sunshine getting through. 10.0C

    Gorse fires on Slieve Mish Mountains today looking back towards Brandon. Never ceases to amaze me the selfish actions of some.

    Been very dry here near Tralee, no rainfall in 10 days apart from the AWS measuring 1 tip of 0.2mm

    Overcast and damp morning gave way to a bright sunny afternoon. Got up to a decent enough 11.2C.

    My wife was on a very quite Banna Strand this morning, somebody was being creative earlier :)

    Horrid day in the Deise - briefly looked like the cloud would split but nope :( So here's hoping for a glimpse of the sky tomorrow. As for the outlook, it really seems like we're getting into a rhythm of regenerating HP at this latitude. I see very little sign of "proper" rain on the horizon.

    For a bit of light relief and because of the day that's in it, I am sticking up 2 photos taken in the garden yesterday eve. Whatever happened with the light in the bottom one, something unusual appeared. Told one of the kids earlier that there was a UFO spotted over Mayo!
    Anyway back to the weather. The largely dry past week has been very pleasant with some lovely evening skyscapes and a particularly nice moody one yesterday. This evening was the exception as a weak weather front brought cloudier conditions.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    first crap day in a while, raining for past few hours with some heavy bursts mixed in, most of the time the rain is light.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭pad199207


    Heavens have opened in Kildare. The smell of Petrichor is fierce.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,694 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Sunny in Cork City after two days of cloud. Still some at times but better then nothing. Full week without rain so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,091 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Well the rain finally came this afternoon. Dont think its rained here in North County Dublin for about 3 weeks!

    Short but very heavy showers. Sun back out to dry my clothes on the line!

    Walked the dog around the block. Never appreciated a rain shower like it after days indoors 💙


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Had a spell of drizzle here earlier for about 20mins, otherwise dry and cloudy, just been out for a walk there and felt very pleasent in the evening sunshine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Dry here down south, sunny morning became gradually overcast by evening. I doubt this supposed frontal activity is going to do any more than damp the ground here.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    few more dryish days then we're back to normal service, quite unsettled but much milder next week, may even get to the high teens at times with a bit of luck if there is any sunshine.

    I liked the her poetry lines.

    Was a nice enough day in Cork city. Cloudy but sunny at times. A cold enough wind but warm in the sun. It was dry is the main thing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,091 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I tried PM Grace but it said her inbox was full so it wouldn't send.

    Hope she is ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,854 ✭✭✭✭silverharp


    The lack of decent sunny spells is a little annoying, all last week there really wasn't much in the way of a decent midday sunny spells, this morning was nice but was cloudy by1pm.

    Chilly enough in the breeze for April. Great to be out in fresh air though.

    Flogging down rain at the moment,think the rest of the week won't be too bad


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,047 ✭✭✭Clonmel1000


    Wet windy morning went out for a walk there and got wet. The last few days have been dry here but windy and cold when you’re out in it but at lease it was dry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,243 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo
