a wet day here in Meath, heavy showers on and off, not what I was expecting.

Billcarson · 08-02-2026 02:04PM

on the radar looks like just a small band. Sun already poking through here in Ashbourne.

look like more bits of showers breaking out behind it. The winter that keeps on giving lol

I thought today was supposed to be mostly dry. But it's been very showery here near Gorey most of the morning and now looks like it's going to be wet for another hour or 2 according to the radar. I cant wait for some spring weather!!!

best day of the year so far in Kilkenny. Really opened up lovely and escaping the showers. Lots of people out and about with a taste of spring

well 10c here now . Im sure it will be a very long time before I see such a run again of consecutive days not reaching double figures.

Beautiful day here in Kerry, 12.6C sitting outside with the coffee after lunch.

Kutebride · 08-02-2026 04:05PM

8am radio news today, first item - 'very wet and very cold weather coming this week'. Is it just a slow news day?

they are addicted to misery. Today turned out really nice

Thunder87 · 08-02-2026 04:59PM

Heavy rain in Dublin.

highdef · 08-02-2026 05:05PM

I've been working outside all afternoon in Longford. Great weather for it and even a bit of heat to be felt in the sunshine, thanks to the lack of any wind.

alentejo · 08-02-2026 05:15PM

2 long lingering showers in Dublin ruined the day.

Eh not in Dublin, another awful day. We got about one hour of sunshine, raining all rest of day.

Hippodrome Song Owl · 08-02-2026 06:21PM

Cold and wet for most of the day since at least 11 am in Celbridge. Some heavy showers interspersed with drizzle. A bit of blue sky now.

Cluedo Monopoly · 08-02-2026 06:26PM

Lovely day. Nice to have the extra light.

Oscar Bravo · 08-02-2026 06:27PM

Beautiful day here in Castlebar. Great to see the evenings getting longer :)

Monkeynut · 08-02-2026 07:41PM

Was ok in North County Dublin today. Got out between the showers. Cleaning up the winter junk from the side and power washed all the slimy grime on the concrete.

Cluedo Monopoly · 08-02-2026 10:39PM

Beautiful starry night. Jupiter almost straight above near Orion.

DellyBelly · 09-02-2026 10:15AM

Sigh..more rain in Dublin city centre.

Rugbyf565 · 09-02-2026 11:42AM

What are the long term models showing for Dublin? When will the rain subside?

Also anyone have total rainfall mm for Phoenix park in February so far?

Gonzo · 09-02-2026 12:29PM

another wet day in Meath, not heavy but enough to keep the standing water going.

The models are showing a continuation of the wet spell for Dublin, with a tapering off after this week for a few days but GFS has more rain the following week with ECM being more settled.

In terms of February rainfall here are Met Eireann's stats up to the 7th of February for Phoenix Park. We're already within a couple of mm of the LTA for February, and if we get another 40mm as forecast by ECM then we're on course for a very wet February.

Cluedo Monopoly · 09-02-2026 01:05PM

Strange days when rainfall in first 8 days of February for Mace Head (Galway) is 4.9mm whereas Phoenix Park is 54.5mm.

Kutebride · 09-02-2026 01:26PM

Another horrible day out there. Just as well had a reprieve for some brightness over the weekend in the West.

WET and miserable 8° Meath

Meteorite58 · 09-02-2026 01:48PM

Nearly afraid to say it but a grand bright day again in Kerry, 11.9C, breeze with passing cloud and blue sky, some overnight rain and brief light shower going to work but dry apart from that.

Overcast with showers and miserable in Dublin 15. Another similar day again.

Late to reply, but yes, it's a fantastic city, one of my favourites for sure. Their climate is nearly ideal for me. Their winters are seasonable but intermittent, I think it would be boring to have snow for months on end. Their summers are very sunny too, with an average July there having nearly the same sunshine as May 2025 in Ireland, and a mean maximum of nearly 24 °C. Significantly drier than here too, of course.
