Got down to -4.3°c last night in South Laois with a grass frost of -9.4°c.

Beautiful sunrise looking southeast from Rossmore, Laois County.

sryanbruen · 05-03-2022 01:26PM

A beautiful few days alright. Apart from Wednesday, been a great start to spring.

Gonzo · 05-03-2022 02:08PM

another beautiful day after a night of heavy frost.

esposito · 05-03-2022 06:28PM

Met Eireann saying it could go as low as -5 tonight. Surprised they didn’t put out a low temperature warning.

mcburns07 · 05-03-2022 09:08PM

The weather today in Cork was perfection

Meteorite58 · 05-03-2022 10:30PM

Stunning day here in Kerry, barely a cloud in the sky. Great spell of weather for the garden with the ground drying out nicely .Topping trees and pruning branches and two cuts of the grass so far, good to get the work done this week because as Gonzo pointed out looks quite wet and breezy /blustery at times over the next 10 days.

0.5C atm

DOCARCH · 06-03-2022 08:44AM

Lots of -5s at 0700. Mt Dillon, Markree, Dunsany and Gurteen.

Meanwhile (a balmy) 6.4c here in Greystones right by the sea!

DOCARCH · 06-03-2022 08:58AM

Overnight low was -5.4c at Mt Dillon according to Gerry on RTE Radio 1.

Danno · 06-03-2022 02:33PM

Overnight low of -4.5c in South Laois. Grass minimum hit -9.4c again.

I was chatting to my cousin who lives in Switzerland in a town at 450m asl. She's only seen a dusting of snow 3 times this winter and it melted everytime well before dusk. 700m or so faired a lot better. Been a poor winter snow wise for a lot of Europe.

Gonzo · 07-03-2022 01:29AM

yep another very poor winter for European snow, almost as bad as the pv of doom winter 2019/2020. Snow being very much confined to Norway, northern half of Sweden, Finland and Greece. Same places in for alot of snow over the next week with Greece possibly getting hammered next weekend. This seems to be a regularly occuring winter theme over the past 10 years which can carry over into the first 6 weeks of Spring.

The PV and the Atlantic took away our winter yet again this year, hoping for more in the way of success next winter but we will probably face another strong PV.

appledrop · 07-03-2022 01:10PM

Cold out there today + no sunshine to heat it up like we have had for the last week.

I think the change in weather is on the way.

Bitter wind. Must be coming off the cold Irish Sea. Feeling very raw. Brass monkey weather.

Yep, I got the walk in, then straight home.

Brrr too cold to be out in that.

Thelonious Monk · 07-03-2022 03:15PM

Jesus I can't feel my hands after jogging in that wind. Coldest it's been in ages. The steam from the incinerator in Dublin Port is at a right angle to the chimney going directly east, most of the year it's heading west out to sea.

Supercell · 07-03-2022 06:06PM

The wind is absolutely cutting out there, being honest its taken a lot of the pleasure of jogging away, hopefully getting better soon.

_NAGDEFY · 07-03-2022 06:11PM

March always reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge. It's often winter's last major offensive, like the Germans.

Also it's success is often determined by cloudy or clear skies. Snowfall lasts longer in cloudy conditions as the stronger sun's influence doesn't come into play as much. It feels colder in cloudy conditions too. Like the first 10 days of the Bulge were cloudy and foggy, the US couldn't bring the weight of their vastly superior air force to bear on the advancing Germans. But when the skies cleared, game over.

irishgeo · 08-03-2022 01:25AM

I wouldn't normally ask but its a big day for me on Saturday so just wondering what's the weather going to be like in the North West mainly sligo around midday Saturday and into the afternoon.

DOCARCH · 08-03-2022 07:55AM

Windy morning. Gusting 57kts in DunLaoghaire atm.

OldRio · 08-03-2022 09:25AM

Woken yet again by the wind howling at about 3am.. We've gone from an utterly stunning day on Sunday to cloud wind and rain. (Typical weather)

mcburns07 · 08-03-2022 09:34AM

Absolutely wild in Cork
