I hate the wind.

In particular I really dislike early May as we usually get a run of northwesterlies. They seem a few days late this year. My location is a little more exposed to a NW breeze - moreso than any other direction barring SSE. Following quite a windless winter and spring, this windy spell is notable.

We usually get a run of NW'lies in early May as the continent warms up drawing in cooler air off the north Atlantic, so weather systems (low to our N, high to our far SW) encourages this.

Did I mention I hate the wind?

The continent warms up and Ireland well Ireland stays the same really. 10-16 degrees and showery!

'A wet and windy May fills the barn with corn and hay' was an old saying. May, I suppose like any Irish month, can be windy.

Warming up nicely in Laois now.

Very pleasant day in East Cork

13-05-2022 02:54PM

I work outside every day and today here near Arklow it's lovely

Certainly not Baltic here anyway! Currently above 18c

Up to 20C just west of Cork city, nice heat there now!

13-05-2022 03:51PM

Looking more and more cloudy for the eclipse on Monday morning. Forecasting models just seem to have changed a lot over night

13-05-2022 04:18PM

19.8c in Arklow

I'm going to call that a technical 20 😂

Got up to 19.4c in Greystones. 18.5c atm.

appledrop · 13-05-2022 05:14PM

It is technically that warm in Dublin, but the wind chill means it only feels like about 12 degrees especially if your in the shade.

13-05-2022 06:21PM

Its been above 19c here in Arklow since early afternoon

Currently 19.6c

The past few evenings I've been noting how well the grain crops are looking in a the fields between here and Casement. Certainly got the first half of their life right, let's hope for good harvesting weather to follow in a couple of months.

Gonzo · 13-05-2022 07:19PM

After a very dissapointing and chilly morning today has turned out beautiful. Clear unbroken gin blue skies and plenty of strong sunshine and feeling warm despite that nasty breeze, once you are sheltered it is glorious.

The weather will take a turn for the worst from Monday/Tuesday and next week looks bad in terms of rainfall but at least it will be mild with temperatures generally around 18C or slightly higher in eastern areas.

A slight chance things may turn more volatile into the second half of next week with humidity and rainfall mixing with warm temperatures could turn things slightly volatile. Hopefully we will see a big improvement after that and much less in the way of wind, absolutely sick of the wind at this stage.

Yeah I can put up with the wind in Autumn and winter but absolutely hate windy days during the summer.

Gorgeous evening now and feeling warm at last.

_NAGDEFY · 13-05-2022 07:32PM

Gone cloudy and cooler in South East Laois now. Basically showing the difference between a late Spring day and a Summer one. Grand to work, move or exercise in but not sitting out like 2 hours ago.

No complaints though. Grand for 13th May.

_NAGDEFY · 13-05-2022 07:35PM

Some of us like the wind, not stormy, for...other reasons 🤭

SuperBowserWorld · 13-05-2022 08:33PM

Beautiful evening North Wicklow.

Managed to get out for a long walk too.

13-05-2022 09:56PM

Yes lovely warm evening here in South Wicklow too

And a lovely moon out now !

sryanbruen · 14-05-2022 12:38AM

Late posting but first time in a while that I've seen a fiery sunset sky this evening in Dublin. No doubt the southwesterly winds played their part forming the altocumulus and lenticular clouds over the Wicklow Mountains (one good thing about icky yucky southwesterlies!). There was a nice sun pillar too. Pic taken at Clontarf

SuperBowserWorld · 14-05-2022 10:40AM

Absolutely Beautiful Morning Here.

namloc1980 · 14-05-2022 02:54PM

A lot of broken cloud around so not as much sun as there could be. Still nice day.

Hairypoppins · 14-05-2022 04:26PM

A Warm sunny afternoon here in South West Dublin

Gonzo · 14-05-2022 04:48PM

Beautiful day again here in Meath, unbroken sunshine and temperature about 18C but feels warmer and for once not a breeze.

DOCARCH · 14-05-2022 05:47PM

Sea fog rolling in and out of Greystones all afternoon.

lawred2 · 14-05-2022 06:29PM

Blue skies all day in North Dublin

A windless winter and spring.. I don't know. Felt like I've been battered the last few months.

No fog down here,got burned but there was a more noticeable chill in the sea breeze

You'd know it was off fog

appledrop · 14-05-2022 08:24PM

Absolutely beautiful day here in NCD.

Now we did still have a bit of breeze this morning but thankfully eased off.

Gonzo · 14-05-2022 08:38PM

2 beautifull days in a row here, we may get one more tomorrow before the Atlantic is unleashed from Monday with no shortage of rainfall over the coming week. Tomorrow will definitely be a good time to get the lawn cut.
