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.

Beautiful here in Celbridge.

Lovely day in Meath. The sky has cleared and a surprisingly warm sun despite it only being 10c. Have a nice sheltered spot from the cool east breeze and it feels like a summers day.

Yes it's lovely now! Good month so far for the most part, I hope this nonsense starting on Sunday doesn't last too long.

Another stunningly beautiful day here in NCD.

Not a cloud in sky for few past few hours.

Bird song everywhere and buzzards soaring in sky.

It's says only 9 degrees but we are out in sheltered back garden definitely feels about 16 degrees in the sun.

Beautiful afternoon I’d say the nicest so far this year lovely and warm in the sun.

Just saw another thread predicting snow. I assumed this was an April’s fools joke and posters actually willing it to happen. It reminds me of people who don’t want Lockdowns to end!!!

Or of people who wish for 30c+ during summer?

I agree with your first point though, today is the nicest day of the year so far for me.

Tuesday was the best day here in NCD as it was like today except 17 degrees, don't get me wrong today also fab but not as warm.

Yeah, working outside today and felt warm out of the wind and quite cool in the shade .Was out a while ago passing the gable end of the house and you could feel the warmth radiating off it. Sun is getting strong, can feel it the face, could get burnt easily, got a moderate UV index reading of 3.9 today.

First sunny day since I think some time in February here. Was stuck in the 'office' until late so missed most of it but great to have the longer evenings now. Hopefully a repeat tomorrow

Glorious here on the bull island causeway. Even by the sea it feels warm.

Great photos. The visibility is fantastic and that blue sky is stunning. I'm also very jealous that you're permitted to travel around the province as you please.
