Spring 2026 - General Discussion

So what is 'People are entitled to moan about the weather if they want' or

But before that remark you stated this

'In fairness, there seem to be some people on this forum who complain incessantly about the weather and who seem to forget what climate we live in. Every year it's the same. And for those people I genuinely do wonder why they don't consider moving (I'm not trying to be smart). As unlike housing, transport, the health service etc, there is nothing we can do about the weather'

So can we moan or not.

it's a sh*tty day but i thought it would be way worse here in dublin, but maybe the worst is yet to come this evening

I don't care who likes it or no, this winter and spring have been so wet and virtually incessant apart from odd days here and there, it's been a proper cnut😝😝

We arrived in Clifden at about 3pm, wasn't too bad on the drive from home to westport. But from there to Here was awful, very heavy rain strong enough winds and lots of flooding on the road. But right now, we have blue sky's appearing and no rain and the wind has dropped, it's nearly nice.

You can do nothing about the weather but you sure as hell can do something about the climate, in terms of infrastructure and long term public service planning, of which as usual there is 0 here. If the Scandinavians had our approach to climate there would be no life there. You have to plan and adapt, but there is none of that here, just your "stop moaning it always rains" and celebrate like a loon the 8.5 days of actually nice weather we get all year.

And today in Tralee was really dire! Can we really not expect better on April 4th! Unlike other towns Tralee did get it ok for park run this morning and a little while after that, but it was basically shut up shop after that for the rest of the day. Thank god I'm off to Greece for a few days on Monday! Some vit D on the bones and nice temps, a sweet respite to awful weather here. Once home I'll probably be back complaining here with a vengeance 😀but hopefully by then some proper spring weather will have us all calmed down.😊

Small amount of snow on the mountain tops. Sunshine. 3C. Clear skys. Very pleasent.

Absolutely chucking it down rain mixed with hail at the minute and cold again in SCD.

There are blue skies trying their best to breakthrough and it was quite warm and sunny earlier on this morning.

Hopefully we get another break from the deluge later today.

Had really nice walk by the sea in Arklow, sunny if still a bit chilly and breezy.

Big Question !

Did you get the last 40M of the fence painted ??
