Spring Weather 2016

sryanbruen

The milder weather towards next weekend is giving me Spring vibes! What does everybody think what Spring will give to us?

A Spring like 2007 / 11?

OR

A Spring like 2006 / 13?

My predictions

March - Very dull, cold and wet. - Dullest March on record
April - Very cold, dull and wet. Potential cold snap. - Coldest April on record and maybe dullest in over 24 years
May - Average temperatures but sunny and dry. - Nothing remarkable

^ I hope not! LOL

Easy to predict todays weather in Sligo

Cloudy in Sligo like most Sundays or misty
Suns forbidden from Sunday

High pressure doesn't necessarily mean sunny days.

I never expected very sunny days tbh. I just wanted a big break from that awful Winter.

Partially cloudy and sunny in Castlebar today, nicer than yesterday at close to 10C, surprised as it usually rains during most of our St. Patrick's day parades.

Google said Spring starts today (in northern hemisphere). Strange...

Indeed - it feels more like winter!

Well today is the spring equinox and many countries consider it to be the first day of spring so not odd at all really, considering Google's American background

Clear sky and sun all day, and now a clear sky out there tonight, doesnt get any better

Indeed.

What's odd is the insistence of so many that the first of February is the start of spring!

As we head for yet another March colder than December....

sryanbruen

Interesting to bring that up Schadenfreudia. Since you did so, I just thought I'd look at Marches in my records that were colder than the preceding December.

March 2016: 5.3c
December 2015: 8.5c

March 2013: 2.3c
December 2012: 3.9c

March 2006: 4.8c (equalled)
December 2005: 4.8c (equalled)

March 1986: 4.8c
December 1985: 5.3c (not officially as Grange wasn't in operation in this month. This is worked out as a result of Met Éireann's data of other near by stations)

Apart from being duller, this March has been very comparable to last year?

Around the Killarney area today it was cloudy in the morning but then cleared later on for a warm and sunny afternoon. Good to feel the heat of the sun.
We've had a good solid 10 days or so now of dry weather. More of this please.

sryanbruen

It has been just cloudy up to now here at Grange but it has not been like pitch-black, so it is a rather pleasant cloudy day - wish there were more like these instead of Friday just gone which was very cold and dull here.

sryanbruen

Not looking forward to going back to square one from Wednesday onwards with rain, rain, rain and more rain all over again!

Same here.

So much for the prolonged dry spell touted by some.

vistafinder

Ah it could be worse at least we got a bit of a summer this year sure.

Gonzo

We could do with another few weeks of dry weather to totally dry the place up but unfortunately were back to square one from Wednesday. The 10 day dry spell was very welcome tho, lets hope we dont have to endure another 5 months of rain before the next dry spell.

Well May is expected to be the next drier than normal month by me. I think M.T. says so too.

I agree, today, though cloudy, was very pleasant and calm. Maybe it is just me but I have noticed more than once that when people are out and about on calm, cloudy but very dry days like today, that they are more 'mellow' or something. Such weather seems to induce a calmness in people, both inside and out.

You should of stayed there tbh.

It was beautiful little chilly in the evenings but the brightness the warmth were super. Back to dull cold uninspiring weather and an outlook of rain and wind. Its actually depressing here at timed our climate really negatively impacts on us. Middle of spring almost now and its a lot colder than middle of winter.

That is something some folk here seem to has difficulty reconciling to - if you like warm dry sunny weather then Ireland is one of the last places you can expect it!

I like that weather too - but I realise it is a rare enough occurrence in our climate - no point complaining about the absolutely normal

It has been calm and dry for 13 days - that is pretty good for March hereabouts....
