    Hi all,


    The weather for this week looks pretty straight forward and benign - nothing too unsettled or spectacular expected and by the end of next week it looks like sunnier and much milder weather may take hold introducing Spring allbeit belatedly late.

    It will be cool and showery today and tomorrow with scattered rain and hail showers. Temperatures will range 7 or 8C generally and a light northwest wind generally will make it feel pleasant in any sunshine. Tonight will be cold though with temperatures down to -3 or -4C so frost is likely.


    Monday and Tuesday look like wet and windy days. The rain may be heavy but should mostly be moderate or light in a strong Southwesterly wind. Milder - temperatures generally into double figures around 10 or 11C but it will be quite dull and overcast.


    From then on temperatures will be picking up and the weather will finally start to settle down as High Pressure builds in. A southeasterly breeze is likely toward midweek onward and things will be getting noticeably milder by day. Whilst not wall to wall sunshine on the cards it should still feel very pleasant in comparison to the Winter just gone. Temperatures could get up to 14 or 15C in some places so a real improvement but frosts are still likely at night particularly toward the end of next week.

    Encouraging trend on the ECM this evening:

    Too far away for it to be any nailed on but pleasantly warm days (if breezy at times), with nights still a bit on the chilly side, should that chart verify. Possible quite hazy too at at times, depending on how deeply continental the flow is sourced.

    Fingers & toes crossed! :)

    Yes, there is good agreement for HP to build in. My only "concern" is for possible retrogression of the high pressure into Greenland which in turn means back to a Northerly, cold, showery regime. But that would be a long way out. Later next week looking very pleasant at this stage.

    And still the latest model runs hold onto this idea:

    After the warm rain that is promised over the next couple of days, and hopefully some proper spring temps to follow, then hopefully some proper colour will begin to show itself over the hills and bogs of Ireland.

    Could be still a bit breezy (will be handy for mopping up some of the current saturation) at times with the possibility of coastal murk but in general, looks quite pleasant with temps finally recovering to enjoyable spring values. :)

    :D I've rarely heard of such hopeful forecasts for 14 degree temps in all my life! Though I know there's quite a lot of people who really need a break with higher ground temperatures.

    Heard the morning forecast and was almost gobsmacked to hear JB mention the possibility of the "mid to high teens" - I was in SF and LA this time last year, and thats exactly what it was there. California weather (southern at that) in Ireland in early April?

    I hope so!
