New season so time to open the spring thread.
Will we get an improvement from the previous two stinkers? Time will tell.
A mostly cloudy and dry start in Dublin 13 with any rain spreading southeast fizzling out.
Beautiful evening for most with showers dieing out. Still up to 23 degrees in Newport,Mace Head and Shannon at 6pm
Warm out west again tomorrow and a chance of showers in same areas
Lovely, I can almost hear those gentle waves lapping
25 in the garden here near Saggart in Dublin. Beautiful blue sky
4pm
Newport Co Mayo 25 degrees on what is a glourious afternoon
Newport station in Mayo hit 25C.
Car temp is reading 19 C down from 21C as I made my way from enniscorthy direction to Ballinoulart bay beach.
Absolutely stunning weather on a deserted beach 🏖️
If we were even 70% confident of getting weather like this every year i wouldn’t bother travelling to Spain!
Gin blue skies. A nice breeze keeping me from over heating. Dandelion seeds blowing everywhere in the breeze.
19° Meath
Gone over 24c in Sligo now.
23 degrees at several stations at 1pm
The actual shade temperature and the temperature that you feel can often be quite different. If you're near the east coast today and you're exposed to the breeze and in the shade (where the temperature is measured), it will indeed feel quite cool. Find a place nearby that's sheltered from the breeze and it'll feel less cool. Then add in sunshine and it'll feel very pleasant but that doesn't mean that the shade temperature is warm. The current temperatures back this up.
What exact station is that for?
If you're literally right on the coast then temps of only 15º or so are probably accurate as winds are coming in off a sea that is still barely 12º.
But if you're even just a kilometre or two in from the coast then temps of 17º or 18º are more likely.
But West will be best for the next 10 days - it always is in set-ups like this.
Even in the height of summer, temps will struggle to get much above 20º or 21º right on the East coast if there's a strong East or North-East wind.
On the east coast, Met Eireann seems to disagree. I don't know if they're factoring in wind chill, but it seems like they've been constantly reporting temps about 10 degrees cooler than how it actually feels.
Beautiful weather. 4 stations at 22C already.
😍 😎 😍 Costa de Galway
Ya seen the moon last night. Spectacular in real life a dot on my phone.
20c at 10am in Sligo. How hot will today be?? It was 27c in Blackpool England yesterday. We might go close.
"Only" 21c the rest of the week as winds go a bit more NE.
😎 - Happy Days
The moon is just amazing tonight
Its snowing in Casement according to Met Eireann. Even the current forecast is (surely) wrong now
The moon was very impressive tonight. Spent 20 minutes watching it rise.
Amazing colour
Lovely pink hue on the meadow this evening
Also, look outside guys to see the full orange moon. I'd say sryan will have her snapped
Glad you went. It was a super atmosphere and stayed dry. I hope the kids enjoyed it despite the result.
Yellowy dark grey sky with large droplets of slow rain. I smell thunder 😉
SCD.
Beautiful evening in Dublin again after a fairly miserable morning (though no harm in a bit of rain to be fair), really feels more like July than early May.
A nice looking shelf cloud approaching from the east now so I guess more rain on the way and hopefully a few rumbles
How far west will it get?🙂
Radar showing a lot of thunderstorm activity in Wales.
Bank this weather outlook. So good. Spring 2025 giving yet again.
It sure did @Robwindstorm What a day. What an atmosphere. Shame about the result lol Saw some drizzle on the bus at 8pm but it didnt last long.
Currently very cloudy. 13° Meath.
yeah that was meant to be 7
We’d just 0.4 last night and unless we import a Welsh thunderstorm or shower this evening,we will be building a defecit if the next 2 weeks are like the last here
Ok gotcha but you had said 30mm in last 2 days of April which were completely dry and only 11 days of dry weather. I don't think there was much rain anywhere on the 26th during daylight hours but definitely nothing since then until the bit of drizzle today.
A steady fall of huge raindrops put 0.4mm into the gauge here in Kildare this evening.
Could hear the drops on the roof 15 day dry spell over
