    Spring has arrived!! In my back yard anyway.
    The temperature is a sweltering 10.5c now which means this is the first time the temp has reached double digits since Feb 16th - an amazing 49 days!
    I don't think I can take much more of this heat! :eek:
    edit: 7c and cloudy at Dublin Airport , it certainly isn't cloudy where I am only a few miles away?
    down to 9.7c now which is just as well, I'm not great in excessive heat.

    I agree Elmer not a cloud all day & i think im even closer to the airport than you, in fact it was a lovely (chilly in the shade) sunny day

    At the moment it looks like a spell of persistent rain or sleet will move up from the South on Thursday accompanied by strong winds.
    ME outlook, the "change" to milder weather just isn't happening.
    At least snow cover on the mountains should be topped up :)

    Took a spin up the mountains today and Sally Gap still impassable with snow! 99% of cars had to do u-turn and come back. A few 'select' cars (i.e. mainly 4x4s) made it through and other cars were stuck!

    Max of 9.2c here today. March 8th was the last +10c temp here.

    Left Swords this morning at 3c and spent 2 hours mountain biking in 13c in Galway.

    I'm ever so slightly burnt :)

    I hope you realise if this continues then food production will stop in this country and you guys in the cities will either have to pay exorbitant prices for imports or else starve to death.

    True, but all the commenting in here is not going to change the weather. It will do whatever Mother Nature wants it to do. Our comments do not make it colder/warmer, wetter/drier.

    One thing that does worry me though... Mother Nature usually balances out the books some way... tomorrow morning marks a second official drought here (15 days of less than 0.2mm/day) for 2013. Summers recently have balanced out dry winter/springs.

    the lowest April temperatures on record were made at both Casement (-5.9c) and Dublin Airport (-5.6c) yesterday.
    The previous record at both stations was on April 10th 1998.

    This has been a great thread but I believe we need to open a new one as heavy rainfall with rather strong winds now appears to be the major weather story (Wed-Thurs).

    BBC countryfile weather for week only had rain in southern half no rain for northwest at all, grass in Sligo leitrim and Donegal very yellow now

    About 2.5 weeks of little or no rain in Sligo with 2 weeks in February too
