Spring 2022 - General Discussion

Another windy day here in Dublin, but turned out better than expected as less rain than forecast.

I know what your saying about stats Sryanbruen, but I think the issue here in North Couty Dublin has been the relentless wind that has made it feel cooler than it is.

I think it was Danno that was explaining to me that it was due to direction wind blows in early May.

Now I did notice today that although it's windy it's not as cold so maybe we are finally getting winds coming from a warmer climate.

I totally get you, it hasn’t felt that warm to me either.

It’ll be interesting to isolate the mean max and mean min at the end of this month and see how those rank historically compared to the overall mean which combines the two.

This reminds me of last summer in a way which was heavily skewed by unusually persistent milder than average nights.

Yep awful wind and drizzle in my face as I walk. Not pleasant one bit.

Fingers crossed will be going onsite at Wild Roots festival in Hazelwood, Sligo next Tuesday, lets hope that the summer picks up a wee bit.

Bright and breezy here in Castlebar with plenty of sunshine since midday. Nice afternoon

Well today is an example of them not being able to forecast 1 day in advance.

Friday will be a sunny day.(met eireann)

Actual

So should read. Sunny in the South and East Cloudier in the North and Northwest with some sunny spells later perhaps. Though it's still cloudy cold n windy too and they said that'd be only in Ulster. Since when was Sligo in Ulster.

It's a stunning, beautiful summer morning here in Dublin at the moment.

Yes wind still there but sure used to at this stage.

Going out for walk number 2 shortly.

Lovely morning here albeit windy, will take that over drizzle any day!

Sunny morning but been a lot of cumulus cloud here in my part of Dublin since and that bloody wind is still having a bite to it.

An interesting stat shared with me. The 365 day national IMT anomaly is running at +1.1C above average which is the joint highest on available record, it equals this point in May 2007 which too was preceded by an unusual long run of anomalously warmer than average months like 2021-22. Of course that was broken by July 2007 which was the first cooler than average month since March the prior year. June 2007 despite being very wet was actually warm, very warm in the northwest even. Overdue cool month to occur this summer? Would not surprise me in the slightest.

I'm f**king sick of the bloody wind around here. Every single day. A stiff breeze knocking temps way down.

Cloudier than I had hoped today. Wind gone and temperature 14.8c but doubt we will break the magic 20c with all the cloud streaming from the Northwest. 18c is the temperature we go to the beach but the max I see it being there is 16c. Still if the continuous wind of the first 27 days of May is gone it might not be too bad.
