16.8c at Dublin Airport today which is the second highest March monthly max temperature at the station of the 21st century so far and highest since 2012 (18.7c). 16.8c at Cork Airport too.

Gotten cloudy here in Dublin 13 also after having gorgeous sunshine whilst I was in school earlier (always the way :rolleyes: ) but sun is trying to shine again.

I think the Phoenix Park got up to 17.2 today. Casement 16.9.

Graces7 · 21-03-2019 7:36am

chilly, wet, windy. ah well!

I rarely am made fed up by the weather but I am now...shivers. dark, drab, downright miserable

Supercell · 21-03-2019 8:21am

Thin cloud cover here this morning, hopefully a repeat of the glorious weather yesterday is on the cards. Currently 11.4 with a gentle breeze.

pad199207 · 21-03-2019 8:23am

Much different morning this morning. Grey. 10c

Gonzo · 21-03-2019 11:37am

grey morning here too but it's nice and mild. Hopefully some sun later.

looks mostly dry up to the end of month, then signs of a possible cold spell first week of April and a bit more unsettled.

Mortelaro · 21-03-2019 12:15pm

Sun is trying now in Arklow after a drizzly morning
Otherwise its turning into a bright pleasant mild day

Gonzo · 21-03-2019 4:30pm

a few rays of sunshine earlier, but fully cloudy again.

Graces7 · 21-03-2019 4:50pm

clouded in and a raw cutting wind rising,, west mayo offshore

km79 · 21-03-2019 6:48pm

Pleasant evening
Great drying all day

sryanbruen · 21-03-2019 7:43pm

Nice evening with cloud breaks in Dublin 13 after a generally cloudy day bar some hazy sunny spells but mild which is grand.

Graces7 · 22-03-2019 8:55am

deluging after a wild and wet night of gale; due to continue today

west mayo offshore

glwaymiko · 22-03-2019 8:59am

Dry,getting windy, rain not to far away I’d say (East Galway)

Donegal Storm · 22-03-2019 9:51am

Torrential rain in Letterkenny, awful morning after a couple of relatively nice days

Dry and bright here in Castlebar behind the front.nice afternoon

Graces7 · 22-03-2019 3:02pm

Lovely out there... took a short walk with 2 of the cats, in a bracing bright breeze, along the gorse-gilded lane with the ocean on all sides. Found a sheltered spot to totally awesomely admire the scene then got home just before a nasty horizontal deluge hit.. sun out again now and so strong.

west mayo offshore

Gonzo · 22-03-2019 3:18pm

horrible day here in Meath so far, drizzly muck since morning.

Meteorite58 · 22-03-2019 3:37pm

Dried up quickly here in Tralee after this mornings rain, hardly a sign of it now. Sunny and very bright in a nice cool fresh breeze.

Snow Garden · 22-03-2019 3:54pm

Cutting the lawn in Galway west. Grass is a bit wet but the wind drying it out.
The last time I cut it was January 3rd

SleetAndSnow · 23-03-2019 12:02pm

Cloudy in cork city but dry and mild, nice! If it was sunny I'd say it would be warm if not very warm

pad199207 · 23-03-2019 12:14pm

Despite being hazy it’s actually a really nice morning

8c

SleetAndSnow · 23-03-2019 1:36pm

Suns come out now in Cork City breaking through the clouds. First time that its been 10c but feels warmer, usually feels colder

Gonzo · 23-03-2019 2:24pm

glorious day, plenty of hazy sunshine and feeling very mild.

lawred2 · 24-03-2019 8:25am

I just read of a threat of snow for first week of April.

Seriously hope not

Was literally just saying it to my wife
Nobody wants to go from what we have now to that surely !

YanSno · 24-03-2019 10:38am

I did mention a while ago it could get cold with a northeasterly around the last few days of March, looks like it's been pushed back into first week of April and there could be some wintry showers at some point during that period

MidMan25 · 24-03-2019 1:17pm

Spectacular morning in Cork, sunshine and 10 degrees.

smallwonder · 24-03-2019 3:55pm

Cold and blustery in Donegal with a wee bit of hail thrown in for good measure. Not easy going on a bike!

Donegal Storm · 24-03-2019 5:28pm

Same in Letterkenny, horrible day with frequent showers and a cold wind

sryanbruen · 24-03-2019 7:00pm

Not a bad day and evening in Dublin although was hoping for better given last night’s stunning sunset.

MidMan25 · 24-03-2019 9:09pm

So quiet in here the last week. Just like the weather outlook for the week ahead.

Oscar Bravo · 25-03-2019 9:37pm

Dry mild and calm. It was a lovely day. Nice night now

km79 · 25-03-2019 9:39pm

FANTASTIC EVENING

sryanbruen · 26-03-2019 9:19am

Very good morning in Dublin!

Cork Boy 53 · 26-03-2019 1:41pm

If the forecasts for early April are accurate we had better make the most of these pleasant conditions as it appears that by this day next week it will seem like winter with cold temperatures and wintry showers.

Kermit.de.frog · 26-03-2019 2:53pm

Stunning day in Dublin. No jackets needed.

yep unfortunately it looks like we may have one more cold snap on the way. Cold snaps in early April are not unusual. However lying snow is very difficult to achieve away from high ground in April.

April cold snaps, when combined with plenty of sunshine often result in plenty of sunburned people because far too may people correlate getting sunburned with it being warm out when in fact this has very little to do with it. People often go out on a beautifully sunny but chilly day in May (sometimes even into early June) and think "Very chilly out so no need for sun cream" - They then get burned and blame the breeze for burning them when in fact it's simply a case that they failed to protect their skin from a pretty high level of radiation.

Mortelaro · 26-03-2019 3:35pm

Was up at 5 this morning,whole place covered in frost near Arklow ,temp of 1.6c
Its hit 13.6c so far in beautiful sunshine
A diurnal range of 12c in 9 hours

sryanbruen · 26-03-2019 3:37pm

Already been a month since the stupendous February 2019 warmth and one of the most gorgeous days I have ever seen, 26 February 2019. Today is lovely too but not in comparison to 26 February! This was the same day 21.2c was recorded in England - easily a new February record!

I was over in midland UK for it. An absolutely fantastic day, and the following one wasn’t bad either!

Hard to believe it’s been a month already.

SleetAndSnow · 26-03-2019 5:38pm

Car was frosted this morning in Cork City but it quickly warmed up. Pure blue skies all day and just hitting 14 degrees or so. Felt nice and warm

It was visually nice alright, but at 12 degrees it's a bit early for the F.L.A.B. to be out in force. Hopefully we won't have to look at them for another while yet.

Indeed. Time goes by too fast for me these days to keep up.

To think this period is the same time 7 years ago that we were having a March "heatwave" with more glorious conditions and the northwest reached almost 23c on the 27th March, the warmest in Ireland for March since 1965. Still one of the nicest periods of weather I've experienced.

26-03-2019 8:18pm

I see talk of wintry conditions entering MT's forecast for next week!

yep possibly very cold for a time next week with the -10 isotherm over the country next Wednesday. A chilly first week to April.

pad199207 · 26-03-2019 10:44pm

Chilly evening at 4.4c after a lovely day

highdef · 26-03-2019 11:05pm

0.7c in North Kildare. Just checked and the low was -1.2c last night.
