FI Charts ( T120+ onwards) Spring 2024 **READ MOD NOTE IN FIRST

ME this morning now say that a North Westerly will bring Sunshine and Showers next week no mention of warm weather

We didn't get a winter. More like a prolonged autumn.

Yes likely a lot drier after Monday but not warmer. 10c to 14c about and 2c at night except in the NW about 7c at night. April's Max temperature might have been today. Hopefully May is an improvement on the cool weather.

The charts now looking they like they should for April, I can’t ever remember seeing such a wet and windy April before, I’m sure it has happened but I’ve no memory of it.

For your information alot of farmers check in here for usually reliable forecast but both posts above are deplorable in my book .From my limited knowledge on forecasts the former post seems completely off the mark and definitely not worth writing because it looks like little rain forecast for the south of the country for the next 2-3 weeks and as for the latter post 99% of people are depressed with all rain day in day out with the last 9 months so I dont know what shite you are talking about bit I do agree with you 100% saying Boards is a wonderful resource to have

The wave of warm air arrived…but only came as close as the south east of england…as usual we end up back in even colder air this weather pattern happens every year….we might actually get 1 good summer every 20 years if we are lucky…must be the only country in the world where you have to go on holiday in the middle of summer to get some summer weather…every single year 🙃

2 weeks of sun for the whole year…every year…if we are lucky🙃

Chance that the good weather from wednesday on could last longer than usual…no real warm air with it…but will still feel very warm if its sunny and the longer it lasts the warmer it will get…it will create its own heat this time of year if it lasts…if those cold northerlies dont come back

The moment I posted my comment on the next 60 days having a 90 percent chance of rain charts of a drier nature appeared. In any case is was the CFS I was looking at and for most of this year its being forecasting a wet Spring. However now it looks like a high pressure system is finally trying to take hold. However from time to time this will slide West and South. However the past few days have kept the ratio going here in the Northwest but granted the South does look drier this week However the North and West still have small amounts of rain some days. Yesterday at the end of the run low pressure was signalled to return after a few dry days. Tonight GFS much drier. No consistent pattern yet signalled.

Ya the past couple of runs have brought back the rain again in the medium term. I feel this year cold be another 1993 or 2007 to 2012, however any short warm spells we get in Summer will likely be a lot warmer than in the past so at least we have that.

This high coming in is fighting a losing battle with warmth over Canada pushing the Arctic air mass over and slightly more South over Europe impacting us.

Unfortunately if you look at the realistic picture for Ireland you will seem very pessimistic. There are 3 or 4 good days to come before a breakdown but hopefully High intensifies more than predicted and becomes stationary but models do not favour this presently.

Our summer for the year some would jokingly say but a weird ol' distribution of temperatures 😂
