    Wish I'd had the BBQ on standby

    Lovely "warm" day the difference the sun makes at this time of year is just huge. 12.6C

    Nicest day of the week so far in Castlebar, broke 13C for a while but felt quite warmer, compared to the last 6 months it feels like heaven this week.

    Back to where we started by the look of things. So much for SSW and high latitude blocking! I'll know next winter and not pay any attention to this SSW meaningless tripe!

    I know that this is a Spring thread but here's an update on why I predict Summer 2016 is going to be one of the better. Years ending in "6" tend to be good summers with one exception though. See below:

    1976 (The 2nd best Summer ever in Irish history after 1995)
    June - Very hot, dry and sunny. (32.5c was recorded in Boora, Co. Offaly)
    July - Dry, warm and sunny.
    August - Very hot, sunny and dry.

    1986 (Very poorly dull, wet and cool)
    June - Very thundery and dull but relatively warm.
    July - Dullest July on record. Relatively dry but variable generally and average temperatures.
    August - Exceptionally wet, cold and dull.

    1996 (Very average overall but not a bad Summer)
    June - Dry, warm and very sunny.
    July - Relatively dry, sunny and warm.
    August - Very wet and dull but warm.

    2006 (Best Summer since 1995)
    June - Very sunny, warm and dry.
    July - Extremely warm, sunny and relatively dry in parts.
    August - Mostly dull but dry and relatively warm.

    Apart from 1986 - the odd one out, this seems like an interesting pattern.

    I'm grateful for the dry spell. And the lack of that godawful wind. But I'd really like some of those blue skies to go along with my clement weather.

    The wall to wall grey is bleak. And it's cold. Not bitter but 7 or 8 degrees and feels colder. St. Patrick's day was excellent. More needed.

    Very small diurnal range here today thanks to the continuous cloud cover and wind off the sea. Low of 6.9C and high of 8.6C.

    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.

    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....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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....
