    Warmer temperatures will be very welcome from about Weds on, more so in the Western half of the country as the week goes on it would seem :)

    Might be a bit thundery in the SW Thurs ?

    Sorry this question was asked already by someone but I cant find the answer.

    Thanks

    Plus Storm Ophelia named by the National Hurricane Center and I think there was a storm named by the Portuguese Met office.

    I was referring specifically to our meteorological agencies to avoid confusion because the storm naming was a bit strange in 2017-18 in comparison to the previous two storm naming seasons. Ophelia was an ex-hurricane. France named storm David on 17/18 January whilst the Portuguese Met Agency named storm Emma on 1-3 March. Not sure about Irene's origin on 16th April though bar it being known as such in the media.

    Chilly after all the lovely sun. Damp overnight but dry if cloudy since mid morning.

    As a side note would someone tell your wan to slow down and take a breath when she's doing the forecast

    Thanks lads I wasn't sure if that wiki page was accurate. So I had a feeling our very own weather boards encyclopedia would know :D

    Emma and Ophelia were the ones that I could remember

    Agree with you today. Real wet rain I got soaked out walking the dog. Scorching weather on the way though :)

    The actual heavy rain has eased here in West Mayo but the air is sodden and drenched with water. Calm and still

    Was also in Limerick, was lashing!

    Wet in West Clare too. Small price to pay for a period of good weather.

    Two or three intervals of light rain today not amounting to much. 1-2mm give or take. Good/very good outlook for the next 10 days going by the latest charts, even though the recent lack of rain (only 12mm at Casement so far this May) might start giving a slight headache in the E if the dry pattern reloads without a showery break. Hoping for some thundery showers next week even though ssts are still on the low side.

    There's lads from the North West staying and working in Enniscorthy,I told a few of them that the weather is like this all the time down here in Wexico. They can't handle the warmth at all. A few drops sprinkled on the ground last night was all we had regards rain.

    Stopped in West Clare with a few hours now. Total from event has been exactly 30.0mm. Certainly a wet period. I'd imagine Shannon will have a higher amount as its still raining there.

    We got off fairly lightly in Dublin, I think. I recorded 1.0mm of rain today, although I didn't see any of it and the ground appeared dry all day. There was a short spell of hazy sunshine in the middle of the day although it's been mostly overcast. The high temperature was 18.3C although it's only 11.7C now.

    Today was the type of day that I hate wet but not wet enough, got everything ready for putting in footpaths but too wet for putting in the concrete.
    Looking forward to the settled spell

    Lovely bright evening in Castlebar, really a day of two halves after a very dull wet start to the day.

    Just looking at some recent historical warm periods during the 2nd half of May and one which occurred in 1989 really stands out with some notable warm daytime temps (up to 27c in Valentia on the 22nd) and even more noteworthy, some extraordinary warm nights (low of just of 15.5c at Belmullet on the 21st)

    NOAA_1_1989052212_1.png

    Fairly short lived affair though with temps returning more to average by the end of the month.
