    Never thought I’d see the day where 7c feels warm!

    I know out for a walk + kept saying to my husband great its so mild. Its still only 4 degrees here!

    Anything is mild compared to yesterday, although it all did look beautiful in sunshine once you kept moving!

    Talk of a triple SSW now, with the polar vortex permanently battered for the winter, I really think by the end of January into much of February we could be on the cusp of a brutal cold spell. We are well overdue one at this stage!

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

    It has been positively balmy! Bliss after recent days. Just to be.... not to be too cold even to shiver. Long may it last. But good that folk had snow and ice..

    I will not get hopes up but the FI charts look tasty. Now I'm not saying I want to see brutal cold but even a few days of decent lying snow with a few nights of below -5 would be welcome. Reminds me of winters years ago when we were guaranteed to get a few days of winter every year. But not so much in the last 20 years.

    Awful day in Offaly drizzle and cloudy all day but as joanna donnelly said a few days ago on the weather she had good news after Saturday it will be mild but never mentioned it will be mild and grey and wet,it was a 100 times nicer when it was cold and bright and dry


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 624 ✭✭✭Humberto Salazar


    Mean monthly temperature - 0.1 here up to this afternoon. Will rise next week, but any shot of cold weather after next week, should see that drop.


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


    Casement mean temperature standing at 0.0C to January 9th. It will be getting a significant bump in the next week despite being only closer to average.

    To put this in context, Casement has seen a sub 1C monthly mean only once since its records began in 1964, December 2010 (-0.5C).

    I know. The forecasters always talk about mild weather in winter as if it is something we all want and enjoy!

    It usually brings cloud and rain, so it’s not something I am excited for.

    Still misty and dreary in Kildare. Still to rise above 5°c this year..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭BringBackMick


    Have been informed the Dublin and Wicklow gaps are only passable with extreme care with treacherous conditions up there

    Meanwhile in north Donegal there’s a stiff breeze and it’s fierce mild. The walls are still standing mind

    Really that's surprising about Sally gap etc, I'm in Carrick on Shannon and it's milder but still cold if you get me 7c

    Temperatures got up to 5c here today, while the snow and frost is gone the ground still hasnt thawed fully.
    One from the frozen nearby pond yesterday evening.
    Its a pity it didn't freeze again last night as it would've been a great place to go again today and also have a look at the frozen lakes nearby.

    About 4 degrees in cork city. Snow on the paths outside my house is finally beginning to melt after being there since Wednesday... very slowly at that! Mad

    Some of us, do when the choice is being frozen and blown off our feet..

    Mild is grand and we are made waterproof! Happy here... ;)

    The wind is singing after a lengthy silence.

    I think it changed direction in the night as something that was rattling loudly stopped ( see how scientific we are out here!)

    West Mayo offshore.

    Dark and damp here just east of Castlebar. Theres a lot to be said for a cold clear frosty morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,052 ✭✭✭redsteveireland


    So glad the wind and drizzle is back, said nobody, ever. At least there is some decent rain to look forward to later on.

    But some are thankful that the bitter cold and ice have gone … and yes I am glad the weather has changed. Very glad! It was lovely listening to the wind in the night.

    And whatever our feelings will not change the weather. It is what it is . And it will change again.

    I appreciate it is all relative to your own circumstances, and location. With small kids and especially with no school I'll take dry and cold any day.

    Thank you and yes I totally understand. Kids need to be out!

    My real point is always that as we cannot change the weather we may as well adapt and make the best of it.
    We take what we get. Regardless of location etc.

    I am a refugee from the Outer Orkney Islands , and came to Ireland as I said at the time to get some sun on my old bones before I die. There was precious little up there and as for the winters. Four hours daylight at most and weeks of constant wet and wind summer and winter alike, . The three day gale of up to 124 MILES an hour is something I will never forget. ( that is on official record) Nothing we get here compares.

    And I love the soft, gentle days like today.

    Each to his/her own. Which is as well!

    And an even shorter spell of cooler temperatures with you maybe seeing double digit temperatures on Wednesday.

    Obviously not if you made a point of saying it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 366 ✭✭daniel_t1409


    The muck returns :rolleyes:

    Hopefully we will get some more colder weather soon, with a better chance of snow :)

    It still feels absolutely baltic to me today in Dublin, brrr.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,254 ✭✭✭Nqp15hhu


    Tomorrow’s cold airmass for Ulster is up in the North of Scotland.

    Too saturated for snow but will be crisp and cool.

    Did you ever see such rubbish reporting " A grim update"

    Everyone now just wants to be famous at any expense. "Look at me, I got quoted! I'm going to keep putting any old rubbish out there to now to build my followers even more!"

    Even Recreto is whoring himself out on the Severe Weather Europe page, which itself is another clickbait frenzy.

    People back slapping themselves and saying cold is nailed on over on netweather.
    The scatter in the postage stamps shows its anything but nailed on.

    Don’t think so. The cold air won’t reach you.
