    It was a magical 4 weeks. It really was. We had about 30 mins of rain since 25th April. Athenry still showing 0.0mm in May. Loads and loads of sunshine, it has set us all up nicely for the summer months. And we managed to break the April temperature record. I will remember Spring 2025 for a long time. Less than a month to the June solstice, embrace the light!

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    the best four weeks I can remember. Leaving the house without a hoodie, without needing to remember a rain coat, in shorts and a T-shirt, sitting outside for dinner in the garden and having a few bbqs, life is just so much more enjoyable.

    Spare a thought for the graduations tomorrow. And the last of the communions. If the Atlantic would just wait and let those pass on in relative calm before it pounces. Please 🙏

    We've been over this many times - Here in Ireland, we are currently in the season of Spring. Summer begins in just over a week. The meteorological seasons are well defined and split into four, three months each. This keeps record keeping accurate. May is not in summer, just as August is not in autumn. November is not in winter, just as February is not in spring. This is a weather forum and it's important that we do not bring in our personal beliefs to the chats here. Abiding by official standards is required so that statistics are not skewed. Please be courteous and observe the seasons as defined by our national Met service. It becomes tiring when a person repeatedly insists that we are currently in a different season than is the case.

    Quote from Met Eireann:

    Meteorological Seasons

    The change from winter to spring or from summer to autumn is gradual and the general trend is subject to reversals which may last for a week or more. For climatological and meteorological purposes, on the basis of air temperature, seasons are regarded as three – month periods as follows: December to February – winter, March to May – spring, June to August – summer and September to November – autumn. This is a common grouping in the meteorological practice of many countries in the middle and northern latitudes.

    There have been no heatwaves yet this year, the criteria has not yet been reached. I do hope we get some though.

    From Met Eireann:

    A heatwave occurs at a Met Éireann station when the daily maximum shaded air temperature is greater than twenty-five degrees Celsius (> 25.0°C) for five or more consecutive days.

    Thanks @giveitholly - I don't mind though as the replies just further reinforce what months are in what seasons, for those who observe the Pagan calendar in this scientific based forum…..not just aimed at a single person but anyone who uses the Pagan calendar in this weather forum. Pagan related chat is best kept to the relevant forums such as:

    Possibly a Foehn wind blowing there?

    In Trim, there's a moderate cool breeze and it's cloudy. 18°. Jacket weather.

    I suspect so, just nice to be rid of the biting easterly we've had for the last few weeks, the weather has been nice but that sea breeze was chilly at times for sure. Great for the fruit in the garden but rain badly needed now.

    Yeah a decent drop of rain in Galway today. A lot of people will be delighted to see it. Farmers, gardeners, greenkeepers and anglers especially so.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I've really enjoyed this warm settled spell 😀 the last 6 weeks have been brilliant and it has boosted my mood and depression, it just feels like I'm back from holidays and we are back to cloud and rain , hopefully within the next 12 weeks we get warmer weather and even a 3 week dry settled sunny spell I'd settle for at the least, we've had the exact opposite to last year pretty much with low and low last spring and summer , very humid today 17c feels warmer I have to say , tonight lows won't fall below 14c for me
