Spring 2021 General Discussion

daniel_t1409

I know it's early to start this thread but in fairness the winter thread was started in August so.....:P.

Last spring was one of the best ever - basically 2-3 months of sunshine and very little rain, resulting in a hosepipe ban. Followed by one of the dullest, wettest summers.

There is still plenty of winter left but I just want to start some early discussion on this spring, predictions, etc.

I would like a nice dry spring to give the ground a chance to dry out - it's been saturated since last June.

It was just a simple comment about what the models showed. No need to blow it up every time I speak.

Will they? Think you are being stupid.

What's your basis that The One Doctor is being stupid? Are you basing you're confidence of snow in Ulster next Friday purely on one model (I'm guessing you looked at the American GFS model)? Even the GFS is not showing much risk away from high ground and the latest run is quite a downgrade from the past run. When you say "some snow", is snow only near the tops of the highest hills/mountains what you mean or are you expecting snow at more populated levels? It's known that you are really only interested in snow if it's settling on the ground so are your thoughts that the snow will settle? It was not to settle, I would not imagine that you would have mentioned the snow risk in the first place as it wouldn't be of interest to you.

The European Computer Model doesn't think much with regards to snow next Friday apart from some of the highest peaks. Haven't looked at other models but if both GFS and ECMWF don't think much of it, I won't be digging further especially as it's a returning polar maritime source.

So to describe a poster as "being stupid" because he/she thinks that the chances of snow next Friday in Ulster are very slim is a bit condescending considering the meagre levels of snow (if any at all in any place where someone will actually see it) being predicted a full week out.

It may happen, it may get upgraded and great if it does but such a hostile reply is not warranted.

https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap - The vast majority of stations are amateur and/or unofficial but it gives you a good indication and the temperature readings are generally pretty accurate......plus there are a lot of stations!

Gorgeous again. It's a shame we can't just get the horrible wind and rain now though and bank these days for summer, we paid our dues last summer for the nice Spring!
Oh well carpe diem.

Really? and its clear blue skies in Co Sligo.

Glad Met Eireann got forecast wrong this morning. They predicted cloud. And sun in the South and East. The West is fairly clear.

Cloudy when I left home in North Kildare about 90 minutes ago but partly cloudy and more pleasant in Dublin city. Heading from west to east on the M/N4, the clearer skies began around Lucan.

another beautiful day. March is beginning to shape up to be a very nice and mild month with the exception of a few days last week. A chance of some unsettled weather later next week but it may not last long before high pressure reloads.

Wasn't expecting it to be this nice today in Dublin.

Lovely blue skies and sunshine.

Got out for a walk at lunchtime and ended up carrying the coat for most of it.

Thought today was lovely in Dublin, given it snows sometimes at this time of year I'm delighted with this weather, more of the same please.

Cloud even heavier today here but it did give us some delightfully damp, dreary, drizzly conditions in the first part of the day, so can't complain too much.
