    After a frosty bright start it turned into a stunner of a day here in Kerry with blue skies dotted with well spaced fair weather clouds and a lighter breeze today making it feel quite pleasant. Did well here from being close to the center of the Hp. Got up to 9.8C. Rh down to 56%.

    Broke up tonight from working all day in the garden :) . Anybody see the new series on RTE tonight about the Burren, went through all the seasons, the Spring flowers were spectacular, well worth watching.

    Are there more northerly winds than normal this year? from cycling perspective It's good in one way that I normally head south an uphill but it makes the return downhill almost painful, and within 20min today went from nice April sun to being snowed on, I know it should be warming up in a matter of weeks but still

    Chilly start again but the wind died on it's arse and the sun is quite strong now so was a lovely afternoon. Looks like we have HP for company for the next 10 days. :) So very little rain away from the NW coastal zone by the looks of it.

    Utterly lovely glorious spring day.. Magical. Enchanting! Bliss!

    Kindly, benevolent air and warm bright sun. The air is moving oh so gently. A caress on the skin.

    Ocean calm.

    Sheer enchantment! Love it!

    And so quiet. Not a sound .except the skylark way up on high, carolling heaven itself. JOY! JOY! JOY!

    Al is so much easier when the sun shines and the air shimmers with warmth.

    Bliss!

    Showery dull at times afternoon quite chilly too. Hopefully things pick up temps wise soon. I know people here would seem to think that bad weather now equals a better chance of decent summer but I’m not so sure. I’d take good weather anytime we can get it.

    Managed to dodge many of the heaviest of the showers today but this evening a very thundery looking cell passed close by with a beautiful shelf cloud rolling in.

    Amazing photo! Some snow up in the Wicklow mountains yesterday, was a beautiful crisp wintry day up there (probably the last one for a while).

    A really lovely bright and calm spring morning. There was a decent enough frost here overnight.
    I am personally glad that cold northerly wind is gone also.

    It's been a miserable cold and wet spring around here so far, feel like I'm in a different country reading a lot of the reports on here over the past few weeks. Heavy rain all day yesterday and lots of heavy showers again today

    That's a shame Donegal Storm. Been a very good spell in Kerry if somewhat cool at times, Take it over the wet any day. Just 11.6mm so far this month and most falling in the dark hours. Fortunate for having an amazingly good day here in Kerry, frosty clear start getting down to 0.1C and got up to very pleasant 15.9C at my site but that would be a bit higher than nearest official stations, garden getting a bit sheltered now, was outside this evening and 10C around 19.30, cooler again atm and calm at 5.9C.

    NASA EOSDIS today.

    Just make sure you enjoy April and May! Embrace the light! Don't waste the next 6 months worrying or waiting for good weather.

    Last year was the best March-May weather in my living memory. It was superb.

    Yesterday was sheer glorious heaven out here. In love with this lovely place all over again.

    For the first time this year it was a joy to sit at the gate, gazing at sky and mountains and ocean in utter peace. And basking in warm sun. Even got the garden chair out.

    Blue blue sky; fascinating horizon cloudscapes. A gentle breeze to dry the washing. Perfection.

    And oh! Even a bee or two was around; another first. All there is for him is forgetmenots which are abundant but lean pickings. But he was making a valiant effort ( there is a nest nearby) Oh a few dandelions but their usual abundant fuchsia flowers are way behind

    Planted out seedlings... Just BLISS and a healing. Sorting bedraggled borders, planting, planning .

    One of the great things re being old is that any degree of short term memory loss focusses you on the here and now. Living a day at a time with no fear or worry re next week. So seeing the sun and sky today! Another spring day outside.

    The silence and peace are intense.

    Spring is huge! Off outside to enjoy it again... Have a lovely day as I fully intend to.. not a minute of it will be wasted. Sheer heaven!

    Isn't it unusual to have frost this late into April?

    I need your wise advice Wise Weather Watchers as I'm waiting to do 3 very important things!
    1. Cut an overgrown hedge to get half my garden back.
    2. Sow some grass seed
    3. Put down Mobacter Moss Killer

    All three kind of need things to warm up and for the last of the frost to be past us - Does anyone know when the air and ground temps are due to upswing?!

    Thanks :)
