    I remember getting 21C for nearly a week a few year's ago in mid-March, while it was great it turned out to be better than the weather we had May-August of that same year! But after the winter we've just had im looking forward to what could be a very mild and more settled March, any cold weather can now fek off till next November.

    That was the end of March 2012, days 24th to 29th were all above 16c.

    Also, March 2010 IIRC had a big snowfall with some big drifts in Northern Leinster and Southern Ulster.

    March of many weathers!

    I remember St Patricks day in March 1999 was a scorcher with temps around 20C. :cool:

    Three weeks later, we had a few cm of snow! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    I have often seen charts like this end up as quite a potent northerly as an intense anticyclone drifts west and eventually leads to a Greenland high - not saying it will happen but wouldn't surprise me.

    I wouldn't be surprised. After months, the westerly pattern is finally going to change and the projected high pressure is part of this change. I can see it being quite pleasant with below average rainfall until mid month, followed by a Northerly or NWesterly towards the second half of the month.

    I would not be surprised myself if we get one of those classic spring switches,very springlike one week, arctic blast from the north the next.

    Do any of the weather experts want to speculate on Finnish weather over next few weeks... particularly east Finland at the 'hip' on the map. Its been a rubbish winter so far. North America has stolen our cold air. Theres little snow on the ground now in March which never happens and skiing (Nordic) is a dead loss. its been groundhog day since October... low cloud, around zero degrees, snows a bit, melts a bit. Except for two week cold spell in January, that's been it. I've had a look at the models and it looks like cold air mass moving our way next week but its borderline... will I get to ski at all this year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭Billcarson


    Next weeks temps in ireland look like being around the 9c-11c mark by day and below 0c at night in places.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭Billcarson


    At around mid month there are some signs of it possibly turning less settled and colder after the few days of high pressure.

    Tuesday-Thursday look good. Obviously chilly by night but very pleasant during the day and will be a nice change :D

    Well looks like now that temps for next week will be warmer then what was shown yesterday,perhaps into the mid teens by wednesday.

    Exactly the same here in poland. We've had 2 spells of cold and snow, but its been dry and sunny for the rest of the time. I've had the skis out 4 times this winter!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Beautiful weather here in south east England this week, sunny every day and most importantly not a drop off rain all week. Made it to 17C today and potentially even higher over the weekend, Spring in full flow :)

    Got sunburn at a parade that day it was a beauty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭patneve2


    The settled slot of weather seems to be certain now, even though there might be a few fog issues on the E coast, particularly at night and in the morning. After that, GFS seems to have gone back to the idea of a strong Northerly with snow showers, but that's still too far out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,138 ✭✭✭snaps


    Blimey I saw the uk weather forecast...18c in London.
    Weather very settled in Europe. Glorious here too in poland. Sitting outside in a t shirt.
    Looks like an easterly may develop next week, so doubt it will be quite as warm as now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Yep feels like summer this weekend in London, quite a shock to the system. Winter jacket to shorts and t shirt in the space of a week!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭Musicman2000


    And back to coats and gloves in another week or so, enjoy it while its here.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,961 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    parts of London and surrounding areas could see 20C today, remarkable temperatures for first week of March with temperatures similar to southern spain and north africa, much cooler here in Ireland today with 6-9C over majority of the country but up to 13C along the east coast. Looks like we will finally see an settled, sunny and very mild week ahead, really looking forward to it.

    Made it to 21C here according to the wunderground app on my phone. Stark contrast to this time last year when temperatures were struggling to get to 3 or 4C for the whole of March


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


    According to this news article Met Eireann said it will be dry & settled for "the coming weeks". :cool:

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/put-away-winter-coat-getting-dry-settled-weather-184548052.html

    Dosnt sound like sumtn met eireann would say and being ireland its highly unlikely!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    I'd kill for 20C :)

    Still, I'll take a week of sunny dry weather at almost any temperature.

    At the moment it looks like there could be a few well scattered light showers around on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, though nothing major. Many areas, particularly in the East, could well stay dry all week. It will get a bit cloudier from late Thursday onwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,207 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    A cool night at Dublin Airport with -1 on the 0000 reports.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,961 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    fantastic blue skies today, looks like the best weather we have had since last August.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Aerohead


    Stunning day here in Galway blue skies and temp of 14 degrees


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,567 ✭✭✭Red Pepper


    The long dark is coming to an end. I don't really care about the weather so much, I more look forward to the light. The early mornings and late evenings are great and I will find something to do in all weathers e.g. I love fishing in the rain because they tend to bite and I have good raingear.

    After Avery sunny and warm week, today here in poland its gone from 13c down to 3c and currently experiencing thunder snow. Some terrific thunderstorms here the last few hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    A great week here in London again, warm and sunny every day, looks like another few days of this before normal service is resumed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,207 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo

    Still a few days away but looks like a chilly weekend on the cards with winds coming down from the north,although by sunday hp is forecast to ridge up from the southwest. Atm Sunday night looks particularly chilly with a harsh frost especially in the eastern half of the country by monday morning. Although whether or not temps get as cold shown will remain to be seen.

    snow this weekend?


  • Registered Users Posts: 403 ✭✭acassells80


    Met Eireann forecasting for Heavy Wintry showers for the whole country tomorrow??!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,577 ✭✭✭Billcarson


    Any snowfall more then likely to fall over hills only IMO. Rain/hail/sleet showers at low levels I'd say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭patneve2


    Should be some great cloudscapes in the next few days :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,207 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    A chilly 5 degrees at Knock on the 1600 reports with a Hail Shower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,939 ✭✭✭goat2


    Met Eireann has heavy wintry showers forecast for tomorrow!! Has anyone else picked up on this and is the forecast credible at this stage?

    yes, said it on tv3 there just now,


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,961 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    hopefully this will be the last blast of cold weather Irish style till next November, roll on temps of 15C+ from next week onwards!

    Things are bad when Met Eireann get it wrong within 24 hours. Heavy wintry showers apparently for today they said yesterday afternoon and now its just sunshine and rain!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭Red Nissan

    The weather fronts are seemingly moving a little faster, MetroGroup has similar, tomorrow's forecast today! 95% rain alarm, almost no rain forecast. !!! So that might mean a few really, really nasty cloudbursts.


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


    plenty of heavy hail showers and blustery wind in west cork. very unpleasant indeed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭Shane O' Malley


    Lots of rain on the radar with sligo getting rain/snow mix.

    Not sure why you think ME was wrong.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,207 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    Just 2 degrees at Knock airport.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    Sleety snow in Castlebar at the moment.

    Edit. Very Heavy Snow.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,961 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    down to 1C now in knock. was a really nice morning here but heavy hail shower around 1pm, sky turning dark again more rain/hail on the way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 921 ✭✭✭MiNdGaM3


    Heavy hail/rain/sleet mix here in Cahir atm, temperature down to just 4.0C.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭sunbabe08
