Pissing rain again in east Galway
Looks like more of the same tomorrow
When is it settling down ............

Yerra look Easter is only round the corner and wouldn't it be lovely to have it nice then.:) Never any point in having it good too early and then paying for it when it should be good. So I'll gladly take it now.

The sun has emerged here and although still biting cold, it makes a difference to the dwelling through the glass. Strong sun!

lolie · 17-03-2019 2:33pm

Some sharp little showers of hail/rain floating about today.
Very blustery in them.
Nice and sunny in between though.

km79 · 17-03-2019 2:55pm

Ferocious shower now
Nice little top up on the bits of floods that were beginning to recede

Kutebride · 17-03-2019 3:37pm

Rivers overflowing NE Galway.
Rain at moment. Sunshine and showers all day.

Graces7 · 17-03-2019 3:38pm

truly lovely outside right now. Just walked my oldest cat up the drive and left him rolling in sheer joy on the grass.. him not me. Long may it last. Gentle breeze, warm sun, ocean quietening.

The 7-day period, 10th to 16th March 2019, was the windiest 7-day period since 28th February to 6th March 2018 at Malin Head (mean wind speed of 25.1 knots) with a mean wind speed of 24.9 knots. Shows just how benign Winter 2018/19 was.

Kutebride · 17-03-2019 5:30pm

Savage hail showers.
Rain.
Beautiful rainbows.
NE Galway

Meteorite58 · 17-03-2019 7:00pm

A few heavy showers this morning but managed to dodge the rest since then.

Nice bright evening, roll on Spring !

Donegal Storm · 17-03-2019 8:18pm

Seemed to be a bit of land based convection across the country looking at the radar earlier, first time I've noticed that this year. I'd say if there's one dividing line between winter and spring its when showers start getting more intense over land rather than dying out!

Cold winter air around the Artic has begun it's Spring retreat as the sun gets over the horizon at more northern latitudes. From now on it is ever more difficult for colder air to get this far south.

Welcome to Spring.

Graces7 · 18-03-2019 8:58am

As dark, drab, dank, depressing a morning as ever was.

Beasty; sincere apologies for my references. I had no idea and have been off the computer since y'day afternoon so only just got your message. Thank you

dull and a bit cold in the breeze in Cork City. Endless grey skies.

Gonzo · 18-03-2019 5:01pm

cool, damp, dreary day. I'm really looking forward to milder, dryer and hopefully some sunny conditions soon.

sryanbruen · 18-03-2019 5:47pm

Been the wettest March on record back to 1910 already at Northern Ireland.

wet and dark again, but milder.

SleetAndSnow · 19-03-2019 6:00pm

Lovely today in Cork City!. After a drizzly start, it turned to sunny spells only now clouding over. Warm breeze, warm sun. Really felt like spring. First time feeling a warm breeze in months! Cork Airport reporting 16 degrees, Moore park up to 17!

Beautiful day in Tralee. Quite warm in the sunshine.

Gonzo · 19-03-2019 8:38pm

very nice evening after a horrible first half of the day.

Things are looking promising for plenty of high pressure over the next few weeks.

Donegal Storm · 19-03-2019 8:46pm

Same in Donegal, terrible morning but easily the nicest evening all month and the first time it's really felt spring-like, more of the same please!

JCX BXC · 19-03-2019 8:47pm

A drizzly fog in Galway currently, slightly dampening the place.

Mix of cloud and blue skies in Dublin this morning. Sun currently trapped behind clouds but clouds trying to burn or pass. Grand weather.

Nice start to Spring Equinox day......once you got above the fog

Oscar Bravo · 20-03-2019 12:19pm

Nice and mild

DOCARCH · 20-03-2019 12:24pm

15.0c now in Dublin (16). Very nice!

highdef · 20-03-2019 12:41pm

Decent enough in D8. Cloud now building though so sunny spells are turning more into prolonged cloudy spells. Light breeze taking the edge off the temperatures but it could be a lot worse!

Persistent heavy drizzle in Castlebar now after a nice and mild start to the day.

SleetAndSnow · 20-03-2019 3:49pm

Cloudy in cork city but warm.and a warm breeze again. At least it's dry!

Clonmel1000 · 20-03-2019 4:03pm

Nice morning here in Tipp but the grey slate cloud is back. Ita certainly not cold but for me personally it’s definitely not mild or warm.

sryanbruen · 20-03-2019 4:08pm

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.

YanSno · 20-03-2019 4:09pm

None weather related

An equinox is a moment of the year when the sun crosses the Earth's equatorial plane, changing celestial hemisphere.

Today , the equinox will be at 21h58 local time, it is the time when the sun will be perpendicular to the equator. As such, tomorrow the duration of the day and the night will be almost the same.

Graces7 · 20-03-2019 4:23pm

a chilly wind and grey skies out here

Gonzo · 20-03-2019 5:17pm

feels almost warm outside, really nice day. Mostly cloudy but some sun.

sryanbruen · 20-03-2019 7:01pm

19.4c in the UK today.

19.4c might seem like an exceptional temperature at first sight but 4 out of the past 9 Marches {2017, 2014, 2012, 2011} have recorded a max of at least 20c somewhere in the UK.

This 19.4c figure is lower than February 2019's max of 21.2c - just goes to show how exceptional February 2019 was!
