    Sitting in St Stephens Green and while it's chilly enough, when the sun comes out (which it's doing pretty often), it's really nice and warming. Pretty lovely morning, although the rain clouds are starting to accumulate

    Sunny in West Clare, lots of sunny spells this morning, currently 8.1c.

    The fields are like lakes though.

    Only 1.4mm since midnight.

    Kerry /Cork looking very windy tomorrow morning, and a second round of windy weather perhaps in the evening in the W ( other models not showing it as windy in the W in the evening ) EDIT: Clare also looks windy earlier Sun morning according to the ARPEGE with a fast moving area of LP running across the country.

    Quick moving frontal rain arriving in the early hours into the SW before moving up over the country. Forecast of wintry weather for a time early in the midlands tomorrow.

    Wow!! What year was that? I did not think it was possible to get a temperature that low in March. It would be great to see the charts at the time.

    I'm not sure about them as I will have to do some very challenging research to get the answers. But I will do it! In relation to the coldest March day on record (referring to the minimum temperature that JCX BXC posted), here ya go:

    Just to add that that -17.1c occurred in Sligo. (Markee Castle)

    I'll let Syran deal with the rain stats though in more recent records, the end of March 2010 was quite wet.

    That was unexpected. When the mountains unveiled themselves briefly, there was snow atop all of them... pure white.. then a huge rainbow arched around it.. too high they are for the rainbow to be above them.

    Then the veils came down again, and now the wind is howling. It was too bitter to stay out ... even for snow and a rainbow... ;)

    Syran, terrific stats!

    To be honest, I think they deserve a thread of their own. That way, your hard work won't get lost in a more busy thread like this and as well as that, you'll have your own space to post more great stats like these.

    A question for the experts as I am clueless when it comes to reading charts. What are the chances of the rain we are forecast heading across the Irish Sea and falling at Cheltenham in the coming week? I am into horse racing, and if it is going to be wet next week over there it could make a big difference to my bank balance.

    Thanks to Oneiric3 I am realising that west coastal Connemara seems to have a micro climate.

    Looking at met.ie, they seem to say two things, the second for coastal areas.

    Looking at the map, West Connemara

    is almost surrounded by water; the sea and lakes. And is mountainous.

    Torrential rain all the night long.

    The forecast on met ie has fresh winds,, but strong in coastal areas.

    And rain that will ease in the east...

    Never noticed before.

    Just been out and there is a lower and much more defined snowline on the mountains here. Fine sight but brutally cold.

    West Connemara, 400 ft asl

    NB the mountains behind and around the cottage are up to 729 m (2,392 ft) A sheer steep rise behind me.

    Not sure if these type of questions are allowed, or if there is a specific thread for them(as they are quite annoying) but I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of an accurate weather forecast.
    Headed to Disney Paris next week with my two smallies and one forecast is giving me sleet and snow and another 12 degrees and sun.
    Is any one site better than another?

    Again, I know these questions are annoying but it's the first time to bring the baby abroad, don't want to leave the thermals behind if we're in for snow but suitcase already bursting.

    I would not rely on any forecast though cause next week is in the rather unreliable time frame.

    Very heavy snow shower about an hour ago, whitened the ground but mostly gone now but for higher up on the mountain. A very soggy S.E. Sligo.
