    Absolutely loving this spell of settled weather. So nice not to be constantly slapped around by the wind and the cold.

    I washed my car on Saturday and its now covered in a fine layer of dust. Given the large high pressure system we're currently in stretches well into southern Europen, any chance this would be the Saharan dust we got a coating of several years ago?

    It's chilly enough here in West Cork. Overcast with a cold breeze. It's making me quite miserable, the only good point is that the ground is drying a bit.

    I'm out of the country this week. Just wondering with the low double digit figure temperatures are there people walking about in shorts and t-shirts yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭Hooter23


    This is probably our summer like what happened last year :pac:

    I'd get sunburned under a 100w bulb.


    10.2c right now and sunny, so off to the river for some fishing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    I wasn't alive during the Spring of 1991, can anybody tell me how was that Spring comparing with 2013 please?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,963 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    cold and cloudy today, big change from Monday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Flippin' Arctic when the sun stays in :(

    Well if you're at a coastal location on the east of the country, expect beautiful sun in the next hour or so as a clearance approaches from the east.

    Fingers crossed this continues into tomorrow so we could have widespread sunny conditions for the parades up and down the country. Apart from some south western and possibly southern parts, I reckon many areas will have wall to wall sunshine.....keep out of the breeze and in the sun and it will feel positively warm. The sun tomorrow will have the same strength as late September so it has potential to feel VERY nice.

    Belmullet is the place to be today, 15c there with no clouds in sight.
    There is a lot more cloud around in Galway city today, cloudy most of the time really. But at least its still about 13c.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    I just got a big boost in temperature.... what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 342 ✭✭yorlum11


    Out doing a little work in the garden in Westport. Absolutely beautiful afternoon. Weather station says 15c. It feels warmer tbh. Enjoy it folks.

    He is going by what the main models say. An omega block can be hard to shift, the models might be being a bit quick to sink the high southwards.

    Chilly today. It was 7.1c here ay 1am and now it's 6.2c. Lovely and bright though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,220 ✭✭✭pad199207


    Almost hit -3c here this morning briefly. Dont want anything like that again until next winter!

    Yeah especially considering I recorded temperatures below -1c on June 9th and July 15th last year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Bleak, can't wait until the airflow turns northerly, we'll get some sun down here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Just thought I'd look at St. Patrick's Day's weather during the past few years.

    2016: Dry and sunny.
    2015: Rather cloudy with some sunny intervals but dry.
    2014: Cloudy with some patchy outbreaks of rain in the west but mostly dry.
    2013: Very cold with rain in the south but sunny in the north.
    2012: Mainly wet with some sunny intervals and warm.
    2011: Very sunny and mild.
    2010: Sunny intervals in parts and rather mild.
    2009: Dry and sunny.

    Did you really? I know last summer was much cooler than recent years but that is a bit of interesting information.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭Hooter23


    And just to hammer home how awful July was, Mullingar and Athenry both reported ground frost.

    Started cloudy but did brighten to Sunny Spells by noon. Max temp only reached 9c but in a sheltered spot with sunshine it was nice.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,963 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    very sunny today but very cold again, temps have been no more than 8 or 9C here past few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    19c somewhere in the UK today! :eek:

    Wow. The highest maximum in March since 2014 I believe then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Well despite the arrival of Storm Jake in the first week, Spring so far has been very benign especially in terms of temperature.

    Below average rainfall, average sunshine (I expect more :p) and average or below average temperatures.

    Keep it this way!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,228 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Very cold and overcast here in West Clare today, didn't meet the expectations I had.
    Tomorrow looks good though.

    Anyone driving late tonight (especially after midnight) or at dawn tomorrow, especially in the inland east, watch out for a possible dense fog.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,228 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Below freezing already here in west Clare! (-0.2c) Gonna be a cold one!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,572 ✭✭✭Colser


    Just out of work and the windscreen was frozen,wasnt expecting that.(Cork city)

    Fabulous day and now a fabulous night here in the north east, its been very cold the last few days, but that doesnt bother me, its better then that wet muck we've had for most of the last 6 months.

    Last 4 months then, i stand corrected by the statman


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Are we all still calling for a cold April?

    Evidence why for my reason that it will be

    - It is gradually getting colder after this brief spell of some high maximums
    - The top 5 strongest El Ninos were all followed by a colder than normal April (inc. 1983 and 1998)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    It looks like a low will bring widespread showery rain on Wednesday (though not particularly heavy).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Pat Dunne

    Yeah I with you on this one Rock Lesnar, it feels more like 6 months! :D

    Keep the water supplies in Dublin up :)

    How many days has it been since rainfall?

    Well I haven't recorded a drip since the 9th (not even 10 days yet!). And Louise Lear on BBC said we have been dry for so long, she is out of her mind! And no it don't matter if they're from England or Wales or such because they also recorded their last rainfall on the 9th. Let's see this dry spell compared with last years longest or notable dry spells

    January 30th - February 12th (14 days)
    April 3rd - 9th (6 days)
    April 13th - 23rd (10 days)
    June 6th - 25th (19 days) (I only recorded 0.2mm throughout this period)
    August 11th - 18th (7 days)
    September 4th - 10th (6 days)
    September 25th - October 4th (9 days)
    October 7th - 20th (13 days)

    Well we have more dry days during this dry spell than 3 of these dry spells from 2015 so far or should I say, I have! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    When was the last completely dry month in Ireland? By this I mean, no station records above average rainfall. It looks like it is March 2012 - that long ago!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭yellowlabrador


    It's a lovely morning, sunny, foggy and frosty, but with promise. I hope it's better than yesterday, I was quite cold and we had very little sun.
