ALERT!! Turning warm and mostly sunny April 5th ==>

Kermit.de.frog · 03-04-2015 05:53AM #1

Take action - warm and sunny weather on the way from midweek next week.:P

An area of high pressure (centered in the north sea eventually) will build over the next couple of days and assert a real influence in our weather so a really nice period coming up and with increasing sunshine but some coastal fog initially. Temperatures generally 15 - 20c. Coolest on windward coasts so mostly the south coast. But very nice over all.

Later winds come from a drier continental source and fog will not be prominent at all.

About time!
But thinking back when we get a good April the rest of summer does be pretty poor

I'd take any good weather at any time to be honest. Its been a very disappointing spring so far.

Kermit.de.frog · 03-04-2015 01:07PM

haha, someone took off the warning. Was in "high spirits" last night

Looking forward to some nice spring weather

Hopefully 20c is not too optimistic. I think it can be achieved locally in, for example, the northwest. Always cooler on south and east coasts though.

My inlwaws are dealing with a foot of snow this week in .......

Slovakia.

Kermit.de.frog · 04-04-2015 08:49PM

Still on track for nice weather. Maybe 19c for a max. 20c may be pushing it a little. Really good charts for gardening and that sort of thing. Not quite enough to spark a skanger invasion of the beaches I don't think.

It's a little open ended. It could turn more unsettled from Sunday but that is a long way out.

Gonzo · 04-04-2015 09:55PM

once it's 16C+ i'll be happy, today was decent after the severe chill of yesterday.

patneve2 · 05-04-2015 09:47AM

How much sun are we going to get? Worried about fog and slow moving cloud.

Harry Palmr · 05-04-2015 09:56AM

7 posts? No one cares about good weather!

Jpmarn · 05-04-2015 11:33AM

There is no mention of temperatures over 17c forecast for the next week by Met Eireann. A good month of April means that I would have more or less plenty of grass on my farm for the rest of the year.

Eazzah · 05-04-2015 11:35AM

Ah ****e.. the leaving cert is coming.

NSAman · 05-04-2015 11:37AM

Two weeks ago it was 28C just outside Chicago on Monday. On the following Friday morning I had the plow guy come to dig the driveway with 6inches of Snow....

Roll on Warm weather.

John.Icy · 05-04-2015 01:00PM

How many high pressure spells does this country go through shrouded in cloud?

Such an unlucky little island.

EDIT: Cleared up nicely now after a very dull day.

Lumi · 05-04-2015 04:34PM

Sunny all day in Galway city with a max of 16.9C recorded at 16:30

Special Circumstances · 05-04-2015 04:50PM

Beautiful in kenmare bay. Bit breezy out but won't complain!

RobertKK · 05-04-2015 04:57PM

Got to 16.5C here in Kilkenny.

maquiladora · 06-04-2015 08:04AM

Make the most of it, looks like back to rain, wind and even a chance of wintry stuff on high ground from Friday again.

Kermit.de.frog · 06-04-2015 04:41PM

I'm making the most of it. What a fantastic day. Nippy breeze but best day of the year so far. Maxed 16.1c.

Calibos · 06-04-2015 06:49PM

Lovely day alright, but that single day a few weeks ago where the fohn effect pushed the thermometer up to 19ºc in Bray and Loughlinstown still wins for me. So weird. 2 days before I was shivering in our shop with my Gillet on over my hoody and the gas super ser heater on beside me and I was back doing the same 2 days after. However on that day we were working behind the counter in our T-Shirts.

Good to see the sunshine. Especially when the kids are off school. The only problem with getting nice weather this early in the year is it normally means our summer is poor. It's not scientific but the past two summers were good but we had wet and stormy winters and it was cold up until the end of may. The two summers previous to that were poor and we had cold winters with not much rain and nice spells in spring.
The way I look on it is we live it a wet country. If we don't get it in the winter well get it in the summer. ☺

Going to be another lovely day

How has it been disappointing as Spring really only started around March 20th?

lapua20grain · 07-04-2015 07:42PM

Aiel · 08-04-2015 12:14PM

Looks like a re-load of good weather for next week after it breaks down this weekend.:)

I had 2 BBQs at least in early April last year and the summer was grand

Supercell · 08-04-2015 12:49PM

We had a BBQ last night as did a few other houses in the neighbourhood, bliss!

mountainy man · 08-04-2015 08:49PM

I white washed the house today, beautiful weather, a high of 18.5 C I could get used to this.
