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.

A beautiful morning in Leitrim unfortunately by midday the cloud moved in and stubbornly refused to move. On the plus side, it didn't rain.

Spent the afternoon and evening in inland north Co. Dublin and it was amazing. Best day of the year by far. Practically no cloud, whereas there was some bubbling up further inland as I left here (Celbridge) earlier.

Suomi, 2 pm.

Max temperatures.

Donegal Storm

Lovely day here as well, went up to the beaches around Downings for a spin earlier

Literally not a single cloud in west cork, nor the entire way back to the city today and none at the moment either. An absolutely brilliant day.

Donegal Storm delighted you got a nice day as you often miss out up North.

Beaches look amazing, they look quiet enough, unlike Portmarnock beach today!

It really was and do you know what made it even more special, today felt like a 'normal' summers day.

Everyone was outdoors enjoying themselves, laughing and having fun, there was no masks(I'm sure Dr. Tony would have had a heart attack if he was there).

Sunshine always lifts us as a nation but if there was ever a time when we really needed it, its now.

Beautiful day in Galway. Got my first sea swim done. There will be plenty more of that until end Sept.

Cluedo I'm not a fan of swimming in Ireland, too cold for me but went swimming twice today and loved it.

We are in a very different airmass now for the foreseeable with temperatures regularly topping 20C through the week and into next weekend.

June is likely to be a fairly mild to warm month. No high temperatures on the horizon for us yet but high teens to about 21C for much of the coming week, warmest in the east with less of an Atlantic influence.

GFS rolling out now looking increasingly warm for next week.

Fantastic weekend here in West Clare, today especially, up to 22°c and sunshine all day bar 2 hours from about 4-6.

Kilkee was jammed! Had a few pints myself, great to see such a nice atmosphere around. The difference a bit of weather makes.

Dublin Airport microclimate doing its thing at 1:00 am. It recorded a temperature of 6*C while every other station in the region reads 3 or 4*C higher.

15c in Cobh but winds gusting up to 30kmh already. Sea breeze is killing it unfortunately.

Thelonious Monk

some hazy sun in Dublin but plenty of cloud, windy too, had expected it to be better but can't complain at least it's not cold!

Gonzo

Cloudy here in Meath, but at least it's dry and mild.

Thelonious Monk

Spoke too soon it's gorgeous out and the breeze is warm, even here at the seafront

Roasting now in back garden, no clouds at all, feels hotter than yesterday

Absolutely glorious in Wexford

This thread will be retired tomorrow as tomorrow is the first day of summer.

One more warm day before the Atlantic breaks through so make the most of tomorrows sunshine. Temperatures getting up to 21 or 22C in places tomorrow.

Northern areas will get an extra day of warm and sunny conditions on Wednesday with much cooler conditions spreading northwards and eastwards.

arpegeuk-41-48-0.png?31-18

The warmth may still linger in parts of Leinster and Ulster into Thursday with temperatures of 20C still possible but there will be a good deal of cloud around.
