    after a cloudy morning, the skies turned blue very quickly and dazzling sunshine ever since, 19C here now, an absolute stunning day, possibly the best day of this warm spell so far.

    The far western fringes of Ireland is significantly colder and a sign of things to come for tomorrow.

    Nice sunny morning here with temperatures reaching 16.0°c. Around 11.30am it clouded over for an hour and a drop in temperatures back down to 13.8°c. The cloud broke up quickly and temperatures responded climbing back to a current level of 18.8°c.

    This morning reminds me of how a "cold front" pushes through eastern Spain.

    Of note now is the air is less humid and visibility is much improved here in South Laois.

    Definitely the best day so far for the east anyway

    Well thankfully those clouds burned off and absolutely stunning in back garden.

    Had to put on suncream as I was getting burnt!

    Barbecue fired up yet again.

    This is the life despite the restrictions!

    clouding over a bit in cork city but still warm! Got a bit burnt! Lovely day


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


    20C observed at Phoenix Park. 19C here at Dunshaughlin. Looks like April may have already beaten last June for warmth in Leinster with several warm days in a row now.


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


    Glorious glorious spell of weather. Absolutely stunner of a day here today. Would make you forget your troubles.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,281 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Clearly we've not had the same level of nice weather here in West Clare.

    Today was remarkably sunny, however temperatures have been very disappointing being stuck at 12°c all day long. Too cool to sit out in a tshirt despite the sun.

    Yesterday was warm (16°c) but stubbornly overcast, with some light rain yesterday evening.

    Thursday was very warm, up to 20°c, however sunny periods were limited, still the best day of the spell.

    Wednesday, very sunny but again also quite cool.


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


    Strange how here in Ireland our cloudier days are milder/warmer than our sunny days alot of the time...

    reached 20C earlier in Dunshaughlin, still very warm outside, best day of the year easily and hopefully many more of these from early May to late September.

    Thats a sea breeze for you at this time of year. I remember leaving 29°c in South Laois during Summer 2018 and going to Wexford for a day at The Raven beach. 18°c there in an easterly sea breeze. Felt freezing despite the clear blue sky! Got a master sunburn for my efforts though! :D


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,208 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Beautiful day here near Tralee, eventually cloud burnt off in the early afternoon. Not the same temperatures as others got but 14C was not bad with sunshine and light breeze but you would need some shelter sitting out in it. Had sea fog come ashore in waves here near the coast, didn't quite reach my house.

    NASA Sat Pic earlier today.

    the past week has mostly been fantastic here, mid to high teens most of the time and loads of sunshine. Both yesterday and today reached 20C in a few places which is exceptional for the time of the year.

    Tomorrow will be a different world and a day to be staying indoors. Temperatures could struggle to get much above 8C in some places, a whole 12C cooler than today in some places.

    GFSOPUK12_27_5.png

    Monday warms up a bit towards the west but many parts of Leinster will remain bitterly cold on Monday with temperatures remaining in the single digits for the most part.

    GFSOPUK12_51_5.png

    Temperatures will stage a recovery from mid week with mid teens possible by then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Can we expect another nice day tomorrow? MTs forecasts are not reliable anymore

    no, tomorrow will be a mostly wet day with temperatures between 7 and 11C. Eastern half of the country could see rain for the entire day, with a clearance into the west by the evening.

    Yup! Was some sea fog (?) along the Shannon estuary which was beginning to blow onto land, didn't effect my part but you can imagine that's likely what kept the temperatures down.

    I recall a number of years ago driving to Dungarvan Co.Waterford across Tipperary in temperatures in the high 20's to meet sea fog and 17°c at Clonea strand.

    What I've noticed over the last couple of years is that whenever we get rain from an easterly source here in the east, it can last for the whole day. November 2018 and April 2019 come to mind and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting some other events.

    On met weather after 9pm news they said it got to 21.6 in Cloyne (East Cork) today. Not surprised, it was stunning in Cork today, everyone in shorts and tee shirts from morning to evening. It felt half normal for a while.....

    I live a few miles from Cloyne. It was as nice a day as any we'll have all year. :D

    Total opposite of a day in Cork city now. Lashing rain, dark and chilly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,786 ✭✭✭giveitholly


    Half an inch of rain already today and the galtees are white on top,some change from yesterday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭blackbird99


    Snow on the galtees


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


    Lashing rain here but after fabulous few days I couldn't care one bit.

    A perfect day for catching up on Nexflix + enjoying those Easter Eggs!


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


    Dry here in Castlebar with no rain overnight either. Mostly cloudy,although it is turning brighter from the north. Cool in a fresh N/NE wind.

    damp here in Meath but the chill is something else compared to recent days, only 7C here, a full 10C colder than this time yesterday. I doubt it will even make 10C here today.


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


    Little bit damp in Kildare but nothing to what I was expecting anyways. Cold though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,266 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Much colder but dryer than expected in south mayo


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


    and here we have that huge temperature drop, temperatures have completely fallen off the cliff across Ireland as expected today and indeed their has been some snow on high ground. England holds onto the very warm conditions for 1 more day, they will be as cold as us tomorrow. Parts of Cork only 5 or 6C, they got to 21C yesterday.

    Classic USA style temperature fluctuations! Not often we get such a massive temperature drop in the space of 24 hours

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


    Waiting for the rain....looks like it won't get to the South east at all. No often I want some but it would be handy to have a splash.

    At the moment, Cork AP 6c and Heathrow AP 24c!


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


    Temperatures in the London area tomorrow will struggle to reach 9C, a possible 16C drop in temperature for them tomorrow, or more!. Eastern half of Ireland still very cold tomorrow.

    GFSOPUK06_36_5.png

    Temperatures will begin to recover by midweek but eastern coasts and Dublin will remain chilly.

    GFSOPUK06_81_5.png

    Temperatures in the Dublin area will struggle to get much past 12C over the following week with easterly breezes keeping it on the cold side.


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


    after a damp start this morning it's dry here again, very little rain here too, was expecting it to be a wetter day, but the cold certainly delivered.

    The sun is starting to break through the clouds in Dublin 5. We got more rainfall from the day the March dry spell broke than today from the looks of things, I don't know if the figures agree with me or not though.

    all I've seen today is a few drops, ground was damp this morning but no pooling of water anywhere so can't have been much more than drizzle overnight. Some fairly heavy looking rain making it's way towards the Wexford coast up from the south-east.

    I very much doubt that very many are complaining about the weather in present circumstances but it`s like chalk and cheese comparing Ireland and southern parts of the UK today.

    The whole world has been turned upside down over the last few weeks and months so I suppose it`s no surprise the weather is turning a little off the wall as well.


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


    Clear blue skies have moved down from the north here in Castlebar.nice end to the day. Plenty of sunshine over the next few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Nice asperatis display just passed over Dublin. Hope your Easter has been going well despite you know what.

    Didn't get the wet weather I expected either.

    a look at today's maximum temperatures and the south-west was the coldest part of the country with temperatures struggling to reach a high of 9C, temperatures in the south-west stayed around 7 or 8c for much of the day. The east managed to reach double figures towards the evening but still cold overall.

    txint_uk.png

    Tomorrow will bring an improvement to western areas with an increase in temperatures, should be dry everywhere but the east will be cold again, possibly a degree or two colder than today was. Temperatures tomorrow 9 to 13C across the west and 6 to 9C in eastern areas, possibly 10 or 11C more towards the midlands. A frost tomorrow night with a low of -1C. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last of the bitterly cold days till next October. The high teens of the past few days really spoilt us and our expections going forward.
