Spring 2025 - General Discussion

Discussing low water levels, UÉ said it was a relatively dry winter that did not replenish our lakes enough. Was the rain really that absent, or are UÉ fibbing?

Looks like Dblin was coldest yet again today, well it was still roasting for us, kids just finished their 2nd water fight this weekend, who needs technology all you need is good weather for kids to have fun like old days for hours😁.

Cracking spell of weather

Spitting rain in Dundrum now

Lovely morning in Wexford. Cloud approaching thought I think

Stunning sunset in Longford yesterday. Photos were taken at 21:51. Another sunny morning today but there's a noticeable breeze as well, making it feel quite cool.

Been saying similar to those disappointed hearing about falling temperatures this week considering air temp wise the East was rarely warm to begin with. (Plenty warm sheltered from a breeze and in the Sun though)

.ie that the falling temperatures forecast probably refers to the geographical majority of the country in the midlands and west where air temperatures will fall from the mid 20’s down to the mid to high teens….which for us on the east coast especially if the oul Fohen effect gets going from the Wicklow/Dublin mountains, means we might actually be seeing an improvement in air temperatures compared to the last few weeks.

Eg. Air temps of 16-18c is a come down to seasonal norms for the midlands and west from their toasty 24-26c they've been experiencing of late. Whereas those same 16-18c air temps will be an improvement on the 13-15c we've been experiencing on the East coast with the potential of a Fohen top up to 18-20c.

In any clear skies out of a sea breeze under the strong May Sun we might be feeling a lot warmer here in the East than at any time over the last few weeks. Like I said it already felt very pleasant and plenty warm in the direct Sun and sheltered from a Sea Breeze on the East Coast anyway.

Sun and blue skies coming through in Dublin City now…still breezy though

First rain 🌧 since 25th April

Temp fell from 20.2 at 1 pm

Plenty of thunder and lightning 🌩

It's so cold today 😫

Exactly. The past few weeks have been gorgeous for Dublin. But as I say every year the East usually gets its best weather with "poorer" synoptics.

When a strong ridge of HP is right over us we often get plagued by mist and sea fog - often not forecast - and/or a chilly breeze. (Though thankfully this recent High has brought endless sun).

Our best weather usually comes when there's slack pressure over us, with winds from the West or South West. Showers feed in from the Atlantic but we just manage to stay dry with partly cloudy conditions and temps of around 21 or 22º. No doubt we'll see it a fair bit over the coming weeks.

Turned into a lovely day in Wexford, breeze is pretty much gone compared to the last couple weeks and it's quite warm in the garden.
