I did a glacier hike in the south of Iceland yesterday and the very low cloud base made it quite atmospheric, even if it limited views. I'm happy to see fine weather returning to Ireland, although your high pressure has pushed the jet stream to up here, so a lot of cloud is being dragged in from the Atlantic. There's even a yellow warning for wind and snow tomorrow, which is underwhelming for May but May snow will at least be a novelty for me if it comes to pass.

So the grass is starting to get frayed and yellow round the edges in Sligo with the continuous sun this week. The situation is severe for next 10 days bar Sunday and even then some areas will miss rain. Here's the soil moisture anomaly for mid May

Sure has been a truly great spell of weather, reached over 19C again today at my site, albeit a bit sheltered but another Davis close to me got close to 19C too, got cloudy at times but sun was never far away, down to 12.1C now and been calm all day.

I went up to around 100 m, which was around a 60 m elevation gain. I think the highest point of that glacier is around 1350 m, but it would take days to do that.
I experienced my first ever lying snow in May today, which was a surprise because I didn't expect the snow to stick. I've now seen snow in all months from September to May inclusive. It was a bit of a mad day because it was the sunniest one so far, but conditions were also very harsh during the squally snow/graupel/hail showers. You could see a wall of snow approaching you before it hits. The picture I put is not that snowy but it was my favourite one.
