Temp in Bray was stuck on 2.3C pretty much all day. Interestingly, it shot up to 3.7C at around 7pm. Recent hail shower has brought it back down to 2.8C. What would have caused that quick temp rise?

Well thats what happens when the shower is coming in across a sea the air above which is 4c
It has dropped from 5.9 earlier though.

Also this is not the cold air that we are expecting.
As you know its just air in off the Irish sea still.
Twill take another day or two for that air to be speaking swedish or Russian

In simple language the air over the Irish sea is still relatively warm ie 4c so at the coast that air is going to be that temp or a tad lower.
There was a burst of v cold northerly down over the Irish sea yesterday and for a bit today but it got a chance to mix and warm up a bit.

The "proper Easterly" will be very cold air moving over a warmer sea tough, pepping up shower activity and increasing the chance of snow.

Snow chance will go up anyhow overnight as the temps drop.

yes but the shower is travelling through air of 4c and cooling it as it does so.

The air its cooling is having the opposite effect on your shower though.
If that shower was travelling through air of 1.9c all the time, it most likely would have fallen as snow.

Not to worry though-temp is going in the right direction.

Closing this now as its gone too long
