A new thread for Spring general discussion.
Wet start in Greystones with definitely no snow. 4.9c atm.
Lovely evening in Galway. Not a breath of wind. Lake is like a mirror. The water levels are way down after a largely dry Easter weekend.
Lashing rain here in Wicklow again
18mm already in April,it's relentless
Yeah....just started again in Greystones.
Hi from sunny Malta instead of rainy Tralee. 🤩 First time here. France,Spain,Italy more my continental thing. But the weather is absolutely gorgeous. 21C and gin blue skies,don't know myself.🤩 My only, very first world problem is that I didnt bring enough light clothes. But hey,no rain at all,At All! So nothing is a problem when you get a break from the constant rain.
Dry and humid in the West this morning.
Back in Meath. Went for a run at 630pm . Opened the heavens at 720pm. 2km back home and no rain fell here. Mad Ted.
As the rain didnt fall at home, cut the lawn. Woo hoo.My neighbours love me at 830pm. Happy it's done before rain over next few days. Drizzling out there now.
9⁰ Meath
A particularly dark shade of grey here this morning in south Dublin. It’s dry (as in there’s no rain falling) at the moment but I reckon that won’t last long, place is still sodden.
Cloudy,misty and dark. Feels like a day in November
It's raining in Terenure. Thats not supposed to happen till 6pm according to ME.
very chilly, grey and wet outside in Dublin for a spring day today :(

Pleasant morning here in south Dublin, started with almost clear skies, clouded over and now fair, very slight breeze. Currently 10.9C
Fairly miserable working outdoors in Dublin today. Rain was forecast to arrive in the early evening but there has been heavy showers since morning. Feeling quite cold too.
Pretty damp here in Castlebar. Miserable enough.
miserable is right. It’s just so depressing at this stage. The extra hours brightness is a waste of time really at the moment you could do nothing in it.
another miserable day in Meath, damp and wet, nothing heavy but once again the heavy drizzle that soaks you, seems to be a theme over the past 2 weeks. The deluges of recent months seems to be replaced now by long spells of constant drizzle and misty conditions with heavier falls of rain during the night time.
the weekend was so nice in cork, and now, back to the usual. Ground saturated and motorways starting to get flooded with the heavy drops of rain
You have it in nut shell Gonzo. Apart from easter Sunday its been miserable .
Very wet in Arklow now
Bucketing down
Does anyone know how many wet days we’ve had in the last 12 months versus the previous 12?
bucketing rain now in cork very heavy. Bought two large flower pots three weeks ago and they are already overflowing with water.
For my own weather station in N.Tipp: Apr 22 - Mar 23 = 211
Apr 23 - Mar 24 = 253
(0.2mm or more)
Well I'm having a nice cup of tea with a few marietta biscuits,the turf fire is blazing and I've just put on Star trek Discovery
It can pour like mad outside!
God this tea is nice !
Sweet Jaysus arrived back in Dublin and we have been transported back to December! The mist was so bad we only seen the fields around the airport about 2 mins before landing.
I wouldn't mind we left a very wet Paris but it wasn't cold like here and this might sound mad but even when it was lashing in Paris it wasnt as dark or dreary as here there was some light getting through if you know what I mean.
know exactly what you mean appledrop. The grey slate is unique to this place.
That's the spirit ! 👍
thanks a million for this.
Seems like non stop wet days these days.
It's that mad out there even Met Eireann are classing it as freezing rain.
Pureza, ,while that sounds lovely, l really think that's something I would assisociate with doing around Christmas time, not during the Easter holidays!
But fair play someone has to be positive about the current weather!
lads, why did we get such nice weather during the 2/3 year lockdown period? I remember the outdoor dining rules being in place in April and I enjoyed it cause the weather was so good.
another horrible morning wind and rain.
