Spring 2025 - General Discussion

2020 hit the peak on the June Bank Holiday weekend then went downhill after that. Very below average I recall after that point.

I echo your thoughts. I too remember it being nice at the beginning of June but not being that great for the remainder of summer. I tend to remember what the weather was like at the beginning of a given June as my birthday is on the first day of summer and a bank holiday is always around the same time.

2020 was a good summer may and June was anyway but can't remember July or August

Aw no well that's a shame 😕 I hope it's not the case this year then , I hope it's warm and mostly dry overall

2 weeks good, 1 week pissing. no hose pipe ban please. 😂

Amazing. Enjoy

Thanks, it's always a pleasure to be up here, even if the weather isn't playing ball. Yesterday was rubbish with streamers of rain and sleet coming off the Atlantic while this morning has sunshine and snow showers, which is very odd to experience in May, especially with the sun shining at the same time that the snow was falling.

What a class spell of weather!

2020 was not a good summer. An amazing spring that year during the first Covid lockdown, suntanning weather in May that year and wonderful up to early June. But a trainwreck, to quote Gonzo and other posters, from there on in.

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.

also it feels like we’ve been stuck under high pressure mostly since end of February I hope it keeps up over the next 14 weeks. Some rain at times and sunny and warm that’s all I want 😎

Beautiful @DOCARCH

Stunning sunrise in Bective this morning. saw a photographer there. Was it you @sryanbruen ;) We were in The Hobbox for 6am. Beautiful morning.

@Robwindstorm will you chance it without a jacket tomorrow? Still on the fence about going to Croke P with the kids. Probably get soaked after the game waiting on the bus home 🫣 Maybe it be warm rain :)

Currently warm 12⁰ Co Meath

You're right about the birds, we have a small pond in the garden and a bird bath and they've been a constant presence in both the past week or so. And you don't need anything special for them, just put out a small shallow saucer or a bowl with a rock in it that they can stand on and that will do.

2020 wasn't bad Summer in Sligo . Yes heavy rains came in June but we got plenty of 21c days after that.

Lots of the country got crap after June we woz lucky. As for 2024 that was one of the coldest Summers of the 21st Century here 13c and 14c many days. And rained a good few days. Nothing heavy but rain all the same.

2025 has been a different pattern and I'd be very surprised for a cold Summer. Likely warm and thundery with many more days like today but some short wet spells too.
