A new thread for Spring general discussion.
Wet start in Greystones with definitely no snow. 4.9c atm.
Shannon radar is down again ugh 😑
winters evening. Wet windy and cool.
Dreadful day 🥲
raining again. Surely it’ll clear up a bit today!
Thunderstorms could be bad enough later by the time they reach the western side of the country…central area from dublin to Galway…plenty of breaks in the cloud to build up the heat so could get them anywhere…
Well it was a lovely day in Dublin. Sun in and out and felt pleasantly warm.
I thought this week would be very wet after the 2 weeks of dry weather but apart from the first half of Monday it has been quite nice. There were two rain showers that were torrential but they pass quick enough. I was out golfing yesterday evening no bother. Dry and bright in Galway this morning and feels nice. The growth after the heavy Monday rain is exceptional now. Magical time of year.
I was in Dublin yesterday and it was a lovely spring day. Rained all day at home and today is again an utter washout. I really think the south and south east are getting the bulk of the wet weather.
Rain cleared in Meath yesterday around noon. Pleasant evening after. Cool in shade.
Today started really bright at 6am. Cloud moved in around 8.30 and its on and off drizzle.
12° Meath
Alot of cloud building up now…the more sun in between the cloud the more chance of thunderstorms…the more sun you get the worse they will be…not much yet still abit early in the day
1500-2100
On the road to the West later 😵
Nice and warm in that sun here in carrick ,pollen must be high I've a banger of a headache :( and that's with antihistamines
Smashing evening here in East Clare. Whats this thunderstorm warning about.
Thunderstorms
Yes. Of which there are pretty much zero.
Zero Thunderstorms
There were lightning strikes in Clare earlier.
Thunderstorms are often quite localized and very hard to pinpoint in a forecast. If you'd looked at the radar at any stage this afternoon you'd have seen quite a few elsewhere. Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen!
Beautiful evening NE Galway. Wow.
18⁰
Due to my job, im constantly looking at weather apps. Im sick of looking at the weather. But there was no need for weather warnings today.
West Galway was very sunny and peaceful this evening. No sign of thunderstorms on my evening walk. Yesterday was a different story.
If you lived in Roundstone I wonder would you agree?
NIMBY - Doesn't exist?
No thunder yesterday just one shower that was the forecast anyway..it looks like the good weather arrived a day earlier…
I got a lawn cut done at the weekend but a few days rain and sun and it's shot up again.
I've left a few uncut grass islands and the wild flowers are taking turns showing off.
Gorgeous start in Arklow
Gin blue sky and already 18.1c
Summers here
19.4c now on the Davis but sea breeze is starting
That should kick it down a level
This has been a very memorable May and we are only half way through. Another cracker in Galway.
Yeah it's up on 23c in Mt Dillon. IMT over 12c. Definitely a top 10 May for temperature.
Absolute cracking start. Really enjoying this spell. Beautiful in Dublin again
