Spring 2019 - General Discussion

Artane2002 · 14-05-2019 4:25pm

Perfect again in Dublin.

SleetAndSnow · 14-05-2019 4:26pm

Lovely day in cork city. Warm but there is a strong enough breeze which is slightly chilly.

Xenji · 14-05-2019 4:40pm

Up to 19.4C in Castlebar, feeling warmer than yesterday due to a weaker breeze.

Donegal Storm · 14-05-2019 5:31pm

So much for clear blue skies and cloud a hundred miles off the West coast as shown on the weather last night. 100% overcast all day in Letterkenny :rolleyes:

Bright and fairly warm but disappointing once again

km79 · 14-05-2019 5:40pm

I’m enjoying the summer !

snowstorm445 · 14-05-2019 6:47pm

The operational GFS 12z has a truly horrible day forecasted for Saturday and into Sunday with low pressure bang over Ireland and heavy rain all over. ICON, the GEM, ECM this morning and others have far less rain around, more showery really, which model has a better track record with this sort of thing? Is the GFS overdoing it?

Lovely day here in Dublin at the moment, not roasting but definitely t-shirt weather.

Clonmel1000 · 14-05-2019 6:48pm

I’m sorry but I don’t find it warm at all. It’s pleasant but it’s not warm/hot. This is a personal opinion before posters start going down my throat. It’s very hazy here too.

Meteorite58 · 14-05-2019 6:59pm

Still mild here near Tralee at 16.6C. Warmest day of this spell getting up to a very pleasant 20.2C with low humidity as others said getting down to 47% and currently 55%.

Bright sunny evening with various type clouds about.

Pic at 8.30 this morning of lenticular type cloud.

Around 55 % here. Very low for here. Some vegetation starting to show some moisture stress from lack of rainfall...

Meteorite58 · 14-05-2019 7:53pm

The higher cirrus over Ireland getting toppled from W to E from the shear of the Jet today.

15.3C atm, Breezy SE'ly

Yeah while its great weather it can be quite cool at times alright especially when there is cloud cover and can be quite a breeze

Personally I would call it pleasant like Clonmel did rather than warm for my location.

Same for Cork, but most importantly it's bright and dry, everything else is a bonus

You're still a happy maneen so...

Gonzo · 14-05-2019 9:26pm

I would agree and wouldn't have called today properly warm either, it was very mild to slightly warm, it felt slightly cooler than yesterday. Today reached 16C at my location, a degree down on yesterday, still a very pleasant day. I would happily take this for the rest of the month.

I don't think were going to see a summer anything remotely like last summer, but a few nice sunny days in June, July and August with SSW winds can often result in temperatures reaching the low twenties in decent sunshine with light winds.

My main wish for this summer is to finally have a decent August, those seem to be rarer than hens teeth.

Had to put light jacket on after 7 though to be fair
Breeze was cool

pauldry · 14-05-2019 11:33pm

The satellite showing cloud very close to Ireland

Will tomorrow turn out cloudy like Sunday here which was supposed to be sunny in Sligo but wasnt.

acequion · 15-05-2019 2:03am

I'm really happy with this weather as I don't want it any warmer at the moment.

It's lovely and bright and bone dry which to me, is perfect.

But dreading the thoughts of a return to the muck that seems forecast from the weekend onward!

Sryan said he was going to post his on 28th May. I hope it's good for June we're going to Kerry for our holidays then!

Artane2002 · 15-05-2019 8:01am

Very nice again in Dublin.

Good to know. Sunny in North Kildare but looks like a band of very thick Haze/high cloud moving into the Dublin/east coast region. I'm heading to Dublin shortly and didn't want to experience driving from beautiful cloud to think high cloud.

Clonmel1000 · 15-05-2019 9:43am

Very very hazy here little or no sun now and not warm still a breeze there.

In Dublin now and it's cloudy. Alas, my suspicions have been confirmed :mad:

It's nice but gone a bit cloudy.. still warm though

Was blue skies earlier

pauldry · 15-05-2019 10:37am

Id say updated met Eireann forecast will mention cloudy spells but last night that was blatantly obvious so dont know why they didnt update earlier.

JCX BXC · 15-05-2019 12:05pm

Overcast in West Clare.

Extremely bizzare that the the last two days haven't had a single mention of this cloud on any forecast, despite it covering a significant part of the western side of the country. 17.1c.

SleetAndSnow · 15-05-2019 12:06pm

Overcast, breezly and not too warm in Cork City atm. About the same temp as yesterday but feeling much cooler without the sun!

Hedgelayer · 15-05-2019 12:07pm

Absolutely glorious weather here in the north Eastern side of the Shannon Estuary....

Perhaps! Hopefully!

Ok get out a map and check out where in the Shannon Estuary you could say its the north Eastern side of the waterway, before it goes more into the brackish water in Limerick.

A kid in second class geography could do it, obviously I think you can too.

Let us know how you get on

It's just a bizzare way to state your location, especially considering the estuary stretches out to meet the river fergus. I just got confused!

Meanwhile it's now sunny in West Clare!

Gonzo · 15-05-2019 1:13pm

mostly cloudy day here in Meath with a few spells of very hazy sunshine, feeling mild but not warm. Average conditions for May. Looks like Monday and Tuesday were the best 2 days of the settled spell in terms of sunshine and temperatures.

Next week not looking as cool as I thought it would, after a cool weekend, temps could reach 17C or 18C at times during first half of next week.

Oscar Bravo · 15-05-2019 1:21pm

Pleasant 20 degrees at Belmullet and mount Dillon at 1pm

SleetAndSnow · 15-05-2019 1:27pm

Sun has appeared in cork city! Feels warm again

pauldry · 15-05-2019 2:27pm

Hello Met Eireann,

There are clouds around today but why not in your forecast.

Its been cloudy in most parts of Ireland for a time today

Gonzo · 15-05-2019 2:42pm

clouds clearing here now and much sunnier!

Oscar Bravo · 15-05-2019 3:24pm

Mount Dillon 21 degrees ,3pm met reports

snowgal · 15-05-2019 3:53pm

yes really lovely in Meath now, sun is gleaming and its lovely and warm outside, just back from a nice walk after a late lunch!

The_Outsider · 15-05-2019 4:01pm

Thats a serious looking shower headed for Cork....

Interesting alright. And before all the Cork City people get very excited, the location in question is west Cork county.

Oscar Bravo · 15-05-2019 4:18pm

Finner 22 degrees at 4pm

Clonmel1000 · 15-05-2019 4:32pm

Nice afternoon here too bit of warmth again in the sun lovely to feel it.

Today's been the best day of the week in Arklow, just gorgeous all day

km79 · 15-05-2019 5:34pm

Ridiculous day altogether !!!!

Donegal Storm · 15-05-2019 7:43pm

Finally some good sunshine here this evening for the first time all week after another dull cloudy day, feeling warm as well.

Forecast has been a mile off all week here though, mentions of blue skies and only high cirrus yet cloud was fairly thick with very little sunshine on all three days
