Same here, hopefully no need to soon.

The consensus seems to be that we will be more or less stuck in this chilly NW PM flow till the end of the month:(

Models aren't looking as good in FI as yesterday, but still looking like it will get up to 18 degrees in places tomorrow and in the days heads the Azones high is going to be more of an influence on the weather here, but ideally we need to see it shifting a bit further east. We'll see...

Meanwhile, it's a bright sunny morning here down south. 11 degrees at 9am ain't too bad. Should get up to 15 or maybe 16 here today, a bit more seasonal for May.

cute geoge · 20-05-2015 4:25pm

I see Saturday and nest Tuesday the 26th are been forecasted sunny but I need at least two sunny days together and preferable three to make my silage and the days in between look dodgy ,would anyone here be able to pick the best days for the coming week in north Kerry along the coast Thanks in advance

Clonmel1000 · 20-05-2015 6:59pm

Nice bright fresh evening out. Its still mid April rather than late May weather though. Fresh breeze there. Forecast looks a bit better next few days but anything would be an improvement. Last night in particular was a very cold night around here.

dexter647 · 21-05-2015 11:04am

Absolutely stunning out there today...Could this be the start of some decent weather, as there looks to be some potential in the models this morning:)

Rock Lesnar · 21-05-2015 11:49am

Sunny and dry in the northeast but there is a very cool breeze blowing

Schadenfreudia · 21-05-2015 4:13pm

Dry, mainly sunny and just shy of 19C here - great day!

Hit 21c here near Arklow for a while,quite nice
Radar must be banjaxed because it shows rain here ???

Clonmel1000 · 21-05-2015 4:27pm

Nice day up to about 4pm wouldn't go so far as to say it was stunning but compared to the last month it was nice. Its now overcast with rain threatening temps about 16 degrees.....

Clonmel1000 · 21-05-2015 8:44pm

Pretty miserable end to the day dark damp dank.....

Rock Lesnar · 21-05-2015 8:51pm

Feeling cold now and just had a real heavy mist shower, miserable end to a nice day

vickers209 · 21-05-2015 10:54pm

Feels like Spain here tonight car said 16C driving back from dub to wicklow some change from 3 nights ago

maquiladora · 22-05-2015 10:20am

Beautiful morning here in Waterford. 17.4 degrees already, half a degree off the warmest it's been all year here so far.

Edit : 18.1 now, warmest day of the year here

Gonzo · 22-05-2015 11:44am

first mild day we've had since mid April, hopefully we've seen the last of the really cool temps till the end of September at the earliest.

Supercell · 22-05-2015 2:38pm

Warmest day of the year here

20.8C, if the sun comes out in the next hour or so again that might be threatened.

mountainy man · 22-05-2015 7:40pm

Maximum of 11.8C today, Meh.

dexter647 · 22-05-2015 10:36pm

First night, for me anyway, that you can stand outside in a t-shirt comfortably...Brace yourself summer is coming:)

gebbel · 23-05-2015 12:17am

Any chance of 5 dry days next week for painting outside uninterrupted?! We are in the north east and have been waiting to start for 1 month.

TheMilkyPirate · 23-05-2015 11:28am

Great day in Wexford!

JCX BXC · 23-05-2015 5:34pm

Reached 21.2c here today in west clare! Thats despite only 5 minutes of sun! Its now 15.1c and rain but it was lovely earlier.

Schadenfreudia · 24-05-2015 12:28am

Was in Kerry past couple of days so I've no station data from there - but the weather was OK; rather cloudy, odd spot of drizzle on the windward side of hills and temps in the low teens - but 17C today.

But the scenery kicks ass!

Back in suburbia today my instruments tell me it was dry, calm and mild with a high of 18.8C.

They tell me there were some sunny spells here, I'll take their word :rolleyes:

Currently cloudy, calm and 14.4C.

Gonzo · 24-05-2015 2:19pm

only 13C today but feeling a shade warmer than that. Next 3 days look average to half-decent temps then back into autumn conditions from Thursday onwards.

Storm 10 · 25-05-2015 7:31am

Listening to ME and looking at MTs forecast I am in a state of depression, Summer 2015 looks pretty bleak .

Clonmel1000 · 25-05-2015 12:12pm

Disappointing day again today its 16 degrees but a cold 16 degrees very overcast....

Gonzo · 25-05-2015 12:17pm

cool with drizzle today and only 13C. Tomorrow could be the only warmish day of the month. the remainder of the month after Wednesday will see temps struggle to get much further than 13 or 14C with showers and cool nights. Could be lighting fires into early June.

KTR1C · 25-05-2015 12:21pm

Any ideas on the forecast for the south west this weekend ?

Cool blustery showery by the looks of it....

Schadenfreudia · 25-05-2015 3:31pm

Cloudy, breezy, dull, 16.4C and dry.

Mayo_Boy · 26-05-2015 1:19pm

Warmest day of the year here in Waterford. 19 degrees, lovely bright skies. Beautiful day. Been a very pleasant past few days down here.

Today and yesterday have been scorchers down here in bantry anyway,im after getting sunburned an everything

Clonmel1000 · 26-05-2015 5:32pm

Nice day here to today. First better than ok day we have had all month. Pleasantly warm but not scorching or anything and nice and sunny. A pet day here and there isn't going to make up for the dross of the month in general though.

Oneiric 3 · 26-05-2015 7:51pm

Skies turned blue here this afternoon after many days of cloud. The sun seemed way too bright. It really hurt my eyes and caused my skin to smoke. It is too much, too soon.

Dickie10 · 26-05-2015 8:02pm

we really could do with a heat wave for a week r so!

Gonzo · 26-05-2015 8:57pm

today was the first day this season to resemble summer!

We had a smasher of an evening here in east Galway. The start of the day was cloudy.

Id say we got around 20mins of broken sun here in West Clare. Big contrast!

Was more or less the same here in North Mayo.

Clonmel1000 · 28-05-2015 12:25pm

Disappointing end to May. Its noticeably cool out today breezy with showers. Some sign of an improvement into next week but really anything would be an improvement on this.

ronnie3585 · 28-05-2015 10:19pm

Lashing rain and cold in Galway tonight. It's like it's late October!

JCX BXC · 28-05-2015 10:47pm

I got sunburned this day last year! I remember it clearly. The only burn you would get in this weather is windburn.

I burnt myself putting coal on the fire last night! A fire on May 28th :-(

In Dublin, May is the sixth consecutive month with average temperature below the 30-year average.

Today it was 9C at 1pm after a hail shower turned the ground white.

Not great.

Not great.

2013 was much worse here (during the first five months - http://www.loughlinstown.com/wxnoaaclimatereports.php?yr=2013) but then July and August were significantly warmer than average here, so not time to give up yet!
