Spring 2024 - General Discussion

Was that when it moved? 1995?

How far did it move again?

I kinda feel sometimes that MET E should report pre-95 and post-95 stats for Dublin Aiport as sometimes it feels like they're referring to stations in two different countries!

Very showery and cold. Just not seeing this lovely weather that’s been reported elsewhere. Either it’s not lovely or it’s just this corner of the south/south east that’s getting a really bad run of it. Anyone here from cork Limerick Waterford or Tipp confirm?

Agree,today was a pig of a day,heavy showers this evening and still feeling cold. Ground saturated again

Why Met Eireann bother with that hourly forecast is beyond me. Apparently no rain here until 11pm, then 0.2mm.

It's absolutely lashing out. Couldn't be more wrong.

Cold with heavy showers in Cork. No sign of warm settled weather on the horizon.

Ah now the weekend looks sh*te again. Feck sake.

While it's still damp I feel we're now on the right side now with ambient air temps as I'm finding gardening bearable compared to the chilly damp two weeks ago.

desperate morning again. Heavy almost thundery rain not sure of the temps it’s just the same cold to me and the grey slate omnipresent.

Winter jacket needed out there today in north Wicklow. The shops must be starting to worry about offloading their summer clothes; I haven’t really contemplated wearing shorts yet this year, outside of going for a run (which has been terribly unpleasant on so many occasions). It’s very disappointing to see this weekend becoming a cold washout.

that’s absolutely brilliant thanks for taking the time to put that together and very much as I suspected.

If we were to loook at the other bank holiday weekends in summer so June and August how are we looking? Accept that this may one is really spring.

Happy Walpurgis night.

It's f**king freezing, this is just ridiculous at this stage.

I had a winter coat on me today as the wind chill was just unreal.

The sad thing is when the sun came out for a sec it actually had some heat to it but worth nothing as only for a sec and useless with that wind.

Thank god we have a summer holiday booked.

Good to see beautiful blue skies and bright sunrise for 1st May.

Cool morning run 6⁰ Meath

Hopefully we now have better Summer season than what we just had for Spring 24.....have to say May is my favourite month of the year in Ireland

OH JOY - Carlow weather also posted earlier:

Still raining mostly in Sligo. But at least its 11c now. Met Eireann think it will be 20c here tomorrow. I hope theyr right but doubt it

decent day in Dublin CC. It was dry hurrah it was sunny hurrah and it wasn’t freezing hurrah. Breezy at times and when the sun went in from time to time you knew it. But so much better than a lot in fact bar about 4/5 days since last September!

Not a bad day at all in Cork, still pretty cool but dry and partially cloudy.

A nice evening out there and feeling relatively mild in N Kildare. 13°c
