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.

Horrible wind out there and feeling bitter with a windchill. Really need to get the heat going now into April. Dreading next week.

Took next week off work and typically it looks like it's going to be very cool, if not plain cold. .

Much cloudier than forecast for my location. Hopefully tomorrow and Saturday make up for it.

A slow burner of a day that has gradually turned into a lovely pleasant Spring afternoon just east of Castlebar. Just touching 15c here now. A lot better than being stuck under that weatherfront like we were for a good bit of yesterday.
Valentia hitting a very respectable 20c in the 3pm reports today. Lovely stuff.

Cloudy and bitterly cold in Dublin today

Cold air making it's presence felt here across south Laois, had maxed at just 14c around 3pm, has since dropped to 11c.

Meanwhile, Valentia 21c and way out on the Dingle Peninsula, Ventry is 23c!!!

Cold and dull today with a breeze that would cut you in half in south Dublin, glad to see the North West finally getting the better of the weather.

It's only 8 degrees here at moment in Dublin. I'm half wondering if it an April fools joke but I'm sure Met Eireann wouldn't do that to us and they did say it could get up to 19 today!

Is there anyone here who is actually sunning themselves down there and can tell us it's real!

Cloudy cool breezy day at 9c, some bright spells earlier but overcast now.

I was thinking earlier in the week how long would it take until we get our first 20c of the year with this Northerly coming up. Little did I know ha.

A max temperature of 21.2°C was recorded at our weather station at Valentia in Co.Kerry this afternoon!
When we get easterly winds, the warmest temperatures are generally in the west of the country. Valentia gets an extra boost as the Föhn effect increases temperatures here.

Nice hike here, high of 14c and a low of 4c. We had a mostly cloudy day, with some sunshine now and in the evening.

Completed my hike in the fastest time yet, 1200 feet ascended in 27 minutes (the app is wrong, its not 900 feet)!

Was cool and cloudy here all day as well. Finally brightened up in the evening at least so managed a couple of hours of sun before it set, great to see daylight until well after 8pm now

The 14c was quite pleasant, the drop to 11c was sharpish and with an increase in a breeze, I certainly noticed it!

There was a hard nip in the wind this evening, despite temps being around 10-11c at the time.

Breezy much of the day but lighter towards mid afternoon. Got up to 19.6C here near Tralee in hazy sunshine. Very pleasant indeed, did get to eat outdoors and even had to create a bit of shade, felt quite warm working outdoors, even got my wide brimmed hat on today.

Very strange airmass, no wind but temp rising and falling despite the strong sun. Struggling to make double figures.

Great photo, pity the sun is spotless atm.
It was a cold overcast evening here.

Beautiful sunny morning if a little cool. 9c now, south cavan.

Lovely and bright here in NCD but only 7 degrees.

We only hit max of 8 degrees here yesterday meanwhile 21 degrees at Valentina.

Now I'm not complaing we have had fab weather in Dublin all week. Glad the rest of country got a bit of that yesterday.

For such a small island we do get great variation in weather/ temperature on the same day at times.
