Spring 2025 - General Discussion

This definitely won't be popular here but I preferred March 2024, it brought the best snowfall in six years and I made great memories that day. Ironically, the only day from March 2025 that I can specifically recall was a wet one.

As for April, I've never seen this much bad weather in April. On top of the 75+ mm we've had since last Wednesday, the 11th-14th April was a washout period when I was in Spain, so I've probably had over 100 mm in the last two weeks between Ireland and Spain. As well, a named storm there brought very strong winds on the 10th and the 11th before the rain came.

No rain yesterday. Cloudy yet pleasant. Ground is utterly saturated. Thankfully all my flower and vegetable beds are raised with moats around them.

lovely start to the day in SCD.
Quite warm in the sun also.

Yes, I grew up in D13, just a couple of hundred metres from the sea and yes, the cold onshore breeze was horrible, right through June, if not the first half of summer. At the same time, it would often be clear blue skies all day in such high pressure situations but without the warmth, it would not be pleasant. I'd rather calm, warm and cloudy than breezy and chilly with blue skies.

I've moved to Longford and am now right in the middle of the country. When there's high pressure overhead in the summer, with clear skies, there's often no wind…..literally nothing. And it's then that you really feel the warmth, plus the heat remains much longer in the evening and into the early night as the lack of a breeze means that the ground (and manmade materials in particular) have been absorbing the heat all day and then release it again slowly, after the sun has set.

Hazy sunshine now Meath.

Hear reports of heavy rain Galway City. On its way.

When it's not always raining, there will be days like this!😎😎😎

Unreal how much of England is looking for rain and we’re here soaking it up. Not looking forward to another 25mm just starting now

That's mad SuperBowser, no bridge there no under waterfall after it washed away!

I'd love to know exactly where it was, there is a small bridge now but much further away.

The far southwest of England and south of Wales did, probably even worse than us.

Although we've had much worse weather this month, this morning is really screaming autumn, even the poor weather we've had over the past week and a half just felt like bad spring weather rather than autumn.

Dark, heavy cloud.

Quite depressing really.

After a wet morning the sun is out and it feels lovely and mild,good growthy weather
