Clear blue skies. Light easterly breeze. That will do

Gonzo · 13-04-2020 11:22am

the rest of this month is now looking largely dry, there may be a few sprinkles of rain. Plenty of easterly winds over the next few weeks so expect eastern coastal areas to remain fairly chilly. Northern and Southern coasts may be chilly at times too.

I welcome the lack of rain with open arms, we had 7 non stop months of deluges and no doubt the rains will be back here within a few weeks. The rain always comes back and when it does it lasts for months on end!

I know theres a slight risk of people going outside when they shouldn't but can you imagine this lockdown in Autumn - Winter of last year with constant rain and muck. It would have had people going mad.

John.Icy · 13-04-2020 1:02pm

Pesky cloud coming off the sea. Overall mostly cloudy in D9. Looks gorgeous over 99% of the country on satellite.

Rock Lesnar · 13-04-2020 4:20pm

Cloudless blue sky and sunshine again in meath, after a cloudy start and 0.4mm of rain yesterday

Meteorite58 · 13-04-2020 4:35pm

Beautiful day here in Kerry, cool in the breeze this morning but got up to 16.3C and currently 15.2C and fallen to near calm with just a bit of NE breeze. Rh down to a very pleasant 61%.

Working in a shaded area of the garden and felt very warm, great growth with the leaves bursting out.

Im sure the usual wind and rain will be back as soon as lockdown is over:rolleyes:

Gonzo · 13-04-2020 4:55pm

glorious sunny blue skies today, however it is really cold and that breeze would cut you in two at times! Despite the cold, the sun is very nice and far more enjoyable than milder and wetter, mucky conditions.

SleetAndSnow · 13-04-2020 5:01pm

Lovely sunny day in Cork city
Cold breeze at times but it seems to have died off a lot and is lovely now

Meteorite58 · 13-04-2020 7:18pm

Beautiful spring evening here in Kerry.

10.7C

Crazy just how big the contrast was today with the wind, was painting the house all day and when sheltered from the wind I was in a t-shirt and sweating, by the time I reached the other side of the house I was in a winter fleece and still cold! Stunning day as long as you could escape the wind

Got a bit sunburned today as well for the first time this year

appledrop · 13-04-2020 7:26pm

Freezing cold wind today but despite that once you were wrapped up it was a lovely spring day especially this evening with the sun.

One small advantage of having to stay within 2km for walks is that you see little daily changes in nature.

We have beautiful cherry blossoms in our area + over last week we have seen small buds on other trees opening up. Probably helped by heat of last few days.

It was a nice end to a lovely bright spring day alright. Mayo this eve.

pad199207 · 13-04-2020 10:54pm

A stunning summer like day today but it certainly didn’t feel like summer. That was wind was brutal.

High of only 10.8c

Rock Lesnar · 13-04-2020 11:13pm

Nice clear sky out tonight but chilly here in meath, temp currently -1.4c

Kermit.de.frog · 13-04-2020 11:17pm

Same. -1 @ Dublin Airport and calm.

Artane2002 · 14-04-2020 10:26am

Stunning day in Dublin 5, not a cloud to be seen.

Gonzo · 14-04-2020 10:43am

beautiful morning here in Meath, cool, crisp and sunny.

Oscar Bravo · 14-04-2020 1:55pm

Beautiful

Oscar Bravo · 14-04-2020 2:31pm

A very nice 16 degrees at Newport Co.Mayo but a rather cool 9 degrees at Cork Airport.

Does feel a lot warmer then that here, garden thermostat is reading 12/313 but could be wrong too! Either way its a pure blue sky here and its great.

Clonmel1000 · 14-04-2020 2:36pm

Beautiful day here too blue skies and blazing sunshine. 13 degrees but feels very pleasant in it in fairness.

Oscar Bravo · 14-04-2020 2:37pm

Airport up on the hill ,easterly breeze will keep it cool but id say your spot on with 12/13 in the garden. Lovely to have the clear blue skies!

Harry Palmr · 14-04-2020 5:08pm

After the brief return to winter it's become a warm enough afternoon in the sun.
A pity there's one of those annoying cut off lows heading our way.

“ We badly need rain

Well some anyway - we got nothing yesterday in the SE and as things stand Friday is only a 50/50 by which point it'll be over three weeks without rain worth measuring.”
You will be happy so ?
Assuming it brings rain of course

Gonzo · 14-04-2020 5:58pm

fantastic day here in Meath, another cold day technically but it felt a lot warmer than 12C.

ZX7R · 14-04-2020 6:07pm

My head is like a tomato, the last few days out in the garden with the kids that sun sure is strong on the skin.

Fabulous day in west clare yesterday, even better today.

Word of warning - don't fall asleep on a sun lounger, you'll regret it.

Meteorite58 · 15-04-2020 10:10am

Mostly clear over Ireland, early morning fog burning off.

12.9C here near Tralee, looks like we could higher than the high of 16.1C recorded yesterday.

SleetAndSnow · 15-04-2020 1:15pm

Another lovely day in Cork city. Warm sitting out in my back garden and no clouds to be seen. About 12 degrees in the open part of my garden but this part of my garden is a suntrap

DOCARCH · 15-04-2020 1:32pm

Stunning day in Dublin 16. The sun/light is as intense as mid-Summer. 15.5c atm.

More like late summer/late August, with it being about 9 and a half weeks before the summer equinox when we experience the most intense sunlight.

Oscar Bravo · 15-04-2020 2:26pm

Mount Dillon 18 degrees

appledrop · 15-04-2020 2:29pm

Another unbelievable day. Think I've got more wear from summer dresses over last while then I did all last summer!

4Ad · 15-04-2020 2:32pm

18 in East Clare, lovely...even the breeze doesn't have the cut in it that it even had yesterday.

highdef · 15-04-2020 4:41pm

Just back home to North Kildare from Dublin and it's rather chilly, a lot cooler than yesterday due to a combination of high level cloud and cool breeze that wasn't present yesterday.

Tigerandahalf · 15-04-2020 4:49pm

Brilliant few days in the west. Ideal to be out in.

Meteorite58 · 15-04-2020 6:28pm

Great day, got up to 18.5C here near Tralee, got a bit of fohn effect from the SE wind.

NASA Pic of Ireland today.

Nearly as clear as you will get.

Face got toasted today in Kildare.

Gonzo · 15-04-2020 7:10pm

another beautiful day here in Meath but it was fairly chilly outside of the well sheltered garden, maxed out earlier at 14C, currently 10C.

More cloud about today but feeling very pleasant all the same.

Kermit.de.frog · 16-04-2020 3:14pm

With pressure dropping from the south over the next 48 hours looks like some thundery pulses of rain developing in the south and east in particular.

Might get a rumble or two between tomorrow morning and Sunday morning. If anything even more likely in to the early days of next week.

Gonzo · 16-04-2020 3:21pm

another lovely day but it's a chilly 12C outside, will be lighting the fire again in a few hours as these late evenings/nights have been very cold.
