I'm inclined to agree with you. By then, we'll have been stuck in a cool and often wet pattern for a few months. A major pattern change will be due by then. There are no guarantees though, of course.

Wet morning here 10 degrees with a real feel of 7 on my run this morning! The forecast is bad for the week. Hopefully we’re getting our quota of bad weather out of the way and June and July come good.

I just got your username, only took a couple of months :pac:

I love your optimism...
I, for one, am so sick of this cold/cool weather..(I am a very cold creature..)
Fingers crossed something changes soon...

Yeah, that's what I'm saying to everyone giving out about current May weather.

I take this for May if we have a decent summer!

KanyeSouthEast · 10-05-2021 01:12PM

Pig of a day ridiculous really lashing rain and cool.

pauldry · 10-05-2021 01:36PM

Well I guess we are going to find out if a cool May really means a good Summer

namloc1980 · 10-05-2021 02:01PM

Horrible day in East Cork. Slate grey skies, lashing rain, cool and quite windy. And more of the same for the week ahead.

Gonzo · 10-05-2021 02:39PM

decent day so far in Meath, warm sunshine up to about 20 minutes ago but becoming more cloudy now, could well be showers over the next few hours.

OldRio · 10-05-2021 03:36PM

Monsoon Season arrives early this year in Leitrim.

Slight exaggeration but this rain is intense.

Not needed down here in Cork either.

bodhrandude · 10-05-2021 07:54PM

How come the weather is so different from last year.

pad199207 · 10-05-2021 07:55PM

Wet evening in Kildare and feeling chilly

4mm in the gauge

pauldry · 10-05-2021 08:06PM

Same in Sligo. 53mm so far

....for May

Gonzo · 10-05-2021 10:32PM

first half of today was lovely and felt warm in the sun, after 4pm it's been cold and wet, could easily pass for January or February.

Bright and breezy here just outside Castlebar.not a bad day

sryanbruen · 11-05-2021 02:35PM

Been sunny all day so far by the Howth coast with a fair SE breeze. Could be worse.

Tyrone212 · 11-05-2021 02:49PM

A good day here especially compared to recent days.

US2 · 11-05-2021 03:00PM

Beautiful day here in Limerick. Always much nicer when you're not expecting it.

JCX BXC · 11-05-2021 05:38PM

****e, been raining here since early afternoon. Scattered showers my arse.

West Clare

Gonzo · 11-05-2021 06:57PM

Nice day today in Meath, warm when the sun is shining but fairly chilly when the sun goes in behind the clouds.

Oscar Bravo · 12-05-2021 10:22AM

Hopefully some sparks today

Is there any sign from the models of some decent weather coming! It’s like something out of late October this morning damp cool overcast at least the wind is gone.

Thelonious Monk · 12-05-2021 11:22AM

No wind in Dublin but doesn't feel like May, nice conditions for jogging though so I'll be out at lunch!

Sadly not at the moment. This Greenland blocking just doesn't want to bugger off. As long as it's there, it poses a risk of further northerlies bringing cool air from the north.

Cheers for the update sryan.

The Greenland High will eventually go.... just in time for winter 2021/2022.

KanyeSouthEast · 12-05-2021 01:00PM

I have a memory of this time last year being cold also.

As per your username, are you in the southeast of Ireland? If so, May was generally very nice; drier, warmer and sunnier than average. At Johnstown, May was the sunniest month of 2020 by a large amount. It was also the driest month with only 17.7mm recorded there. The mean temp was 11.4°, slightly above the average of 11.1° for May for that location.

May was cold in the east last year but very sunny. Nicer than this month. That said May is never totally horrible. Days like yesterday, which was lovely in the east coast of Dublin, tend to pop up even under low pressure regimes.
