A light drizzle upon my garden, most welcome. Now feck off before I have to go out tomorrow.

Sky is a beautiful purple colour which is surprising because it was a such a cloudy day today.

Hopefully that means tomorrow might be nice.

Not enough heat really for any convective showers to appear unfortunately.

Meteorite58

Likewise feeling cool with no direct sunlight all day, 9.8C now and put the heat on for an hour .

Rainfall amounts not huge apart from parts of Leinster earlier in the day and showers around Cork late afternoon. Just to note the models over done the rainfall predictions the last few days as seen in the forecasts , Fri was looking like heavy localized showers but did not materialize and again today heavy showers were predicted for Southern counties but not much of note there.

Fire lit in a Louth since 6pm . A dull, still , cold , depressing day . Apart from a 2 hour walk I did very little. Fires are great on days like this !

9.4c in North Kerry. 10degree drop on yesterday.

Cloudy and had a drop (literally) of rain.
Hopes were up and dashed

a damp, cold and drizzly evening here in Meath, just after putting the heating on for the first time in 2 weeks and will be lighting the fire soon as well.

your very lucky, it's drizzly and cold here in Meath. Almost a 10C drop on this time yesterday!

Temperatures struggling to reach double figures across much of Meath, Dublin, Kildare, Offally and Wicklow.

Shows what a huge difference the sun can make at this time of year, technically only 11C here yet I was roasting in the garden in shorts and t-shirt.

The day has suddenly changed here now with black cumulus clouds bubbling up and some spits of rain. Maybe you weren't so wrong after all :pac:

Also today is the first time I've really noticed land based convection this year, hopefully we start seeing mention of thundery showers the the forecasts from now on

Another lovely day here in Castlebar with long spells of sunshine. Great visibility. No dirt in that northerly airflow!

Yesterday morning, despite the 'dirty' air mass, was just about the most beautiful I have seen this year. Solid hazy blue sky and golden sun. This morning was in total contrast to that, dull and gloomy with the slight hint of a damp chill (despite no rain falling at all). As Gonzo said, it served as a almost cruel reminder that we are still in April. Sun breaking through now and despite the 13-14 temp, it feels every bit as warm in it as recent days. (as noted by Donegal Storm)

It is like opposite land
Every time we get promised a bad day it turns out lovely
LONG MAY IT CONTINUE

Is cold here today in North County Dublin. About 11 degrees.

Looks like it going to rain all day but hasn't yet. I'd say it's on the way.

Big change to yesterday but well predicted.

Yep some serious heat in that sun today, very noticeable compared to the past few weeks, had to go in and put sun cream on earlier as could feel myself burning.

Today is as nice as any other day this month here, Gonzo's predictions definitely haven't come to pass!

Cloudy all day in cork city. Just got very dark and had a very heavy shower.

Variances across the country this week are crazy!

Seems we will have to get used to these conditions for the near future at least. If I recall correctly it was around this weekend in 2019 when the weather deteriorated big time after a warm settled spell around Easter and lasted well in to June. Hopefully there won`t be the same pattern this year.

I think today is a reality check that we are still in April. Temperatures looks more seasonal over the next 2 weeks with low teens at best, maybe mid teens in one or two places. Hopefully June 2020 won't be a repeat of June 2019, I don't want to experience another June like that for a long time to come!

Beautiful day again in Donegal with blue skies and sunshine
