    Not sure what your point is... Was the warm spell back in February standard fare for that time of the year?

    Who cares what's considered standard fare?

    Just wanted a warm weekend after about 3 weeks of cold. Yesterday was 'standard fare' for the first of January.

    If the sun is out the RealFeel will be much more pleasant. You may even want to take your jacket off and enjoy the cool onshore breezes.

    really awful day today in Meath, cold, dark, heavy rain and muck.

    Some dry, settled and warmer conditions can't come soon enough.

    Incredible. Starting to dry up here now in N Kildare. Hasn’t rained in a good few hours.

    Lashing down outside, rain pelting against the windows, this is definitely the worst day here for continuous heavy rain in a good few months

    I didn't think we'd get this much rain, the east was looking mostly dry, the rain certainly shifted further east than what was predicted at the beginning of the weekend.

    It sure did !
    We escaped in east Galway bar 15 mm or so overnight Saturday into Sunday
    Delighted as the forecast was grim!
    Bitter cold though

    What a difference tonight since earlier today here in Kerry. Rain petered out late afternoon and got to feeling mild as the winds eased getting up to 10.8C. Completely calm now and outside a short time ago and can hear the sea quite loud as it settles down after the gales today. Halo around the moon tonight from a thin layer of high cloud.

    Roll on the milder and warmer dry weather over the coming days . My trees could seriously do with a break from the cold wind to let the leaves come out without getting singed. Already a lot of leaves a bit crispy around the edges. Had enough of winter clothes and heating, very ready now for a warm spell and looks warm up until Saturday perhaps, Sunday it might start to unravel again but plenty of days to enjoy before then hopefully.

    Took a spin down to the local beach once the rain cleared this evening. The sea was very rough! Looking forward to some warmth over the next few days.

    Not much rain here compared to down south but a miserable day all the same, heating on early and fire lit, might as well be December. Caved in and booked a week in the Med earlier!

    Do we think there will be much in the way of sunshine the weekend or is it just warm air coming up from South? Remember the really mild weather in February was still very dull and breezey

    What an unbelievable evening in east Galway
    Like a summers evening
    Sitting outside reading and no midges !

    Such a contrast to last few evenings
    It’s a mad little country !

    Agreed, East Galway is superb today. The contrast with yesterday and Sunday is boggling.

    People always say this but u'll see much bigger temperature swings in most places at our latitude.

    What a great day in Kerry, getting up to 17.3C here near Tralee. Blue skies since this morning with some clouds drifting by. Some Lenticular clouds about this evening in the light SE breeze.
