Spring 2019 - General Discussion

Well no snow in Donegal but we did have an earthquake last night, 2.4 on Richter scale, not too shabby!
Happened not far from me but somehow didn't feel it, lots of reports of house shaking etc
Reports were at midnight so perhaps the time on map is an hour behind.

Warm and cloudy with sunny spells in West Clare. Currently 15.5c out

Shocked to hear the radio news just say most of the country will have rain today.

It's been glorious up here in North Donegal all day. It's like a summer's afternoon now, only being slightly chilly in the shade.

Not a cloud in the sky.

The band of rain that affected many parts of the east until recently is now in north Leinster but unfortunately there is another area of rain that is making a beeline for Dublin and basically the same areas as the recent spell of rainy weather. Bar the weekend just gone, many eastern areas have been enduring evening rush hour rain events that have made the commute home so so miserable......still, at least we have the extra hour of daylight so it could be worse.

I'd say this next batch of rain will reach the Dublin coast by about 17:45, moving more or less northwestwards.

It never ceases to amaze me different people’s interpretations of what warm is. It’s a hugely personal thing obviously. I love warm weather but I’m no sense have I thought any of the days over the weekend or today were warm. Like I said it’s all relative I suppose.

Wear the right clothes and any day with unbroken sun can be warm..

Why doesn't it cease to amaze you?

Warm is often relative to where you are. If you're sitting at an exposed beach with a strong breeze, you're going to be cold, if you're sitting in my sheltered back garden in the sun with no movement of air, you can be in a T-Shirt.

We're not all going to agree about what warm is, about what weather we like, etc etc, and I don't know how this will continually come to a shock to anyone!

Looks like we in the nw are going to have a very nice week

Temperature stayed the same practically the whole night

Or north county dublin

Nor east Galway

Not that much fog in the parts of Laois and Carlow I visited this morning, was considerably worse one day last week. I guess there were parts that warranted the orange warning?

I live in a fog prone small village in north kildare. Small hills or higher ground in all directions bar west and southwest. there was thick fog the past two mornings with no warnings in place.... not that unusual. With a warning in place for this morning,I fully expected another pea souper but it's just cloudy and there's a serious lack of reports from boards users of fog in their location.
