Not a bad day all in all. Maxed at 13.9c after 3pm. Minumum was 3.1c before 6.30am. Total rain was 0.8mm from a shower after 9pm. Nice sunny spells throughout. I see the bluebells are starting to flower. Hope to go down the woods this weekend with the camera.

As I left Wexford, just south of Gorey at 5:30 am this morning it was raining very heavily, the edge of this "cloud" seemed to be around Beehive pub. From there on it was a glorious sunny morning. Sunny south east how are you !

That rain was here too, gone now. Plenty of cloud which has the look of showers once the temp rises.

Much milder down here.
We had that rain spoken about in the post above.

Currently there is a moderate rain shower (2nd or 3rd this morning).
Quite breezy too gusting above 20mph SSE in the showers.

There are quite a few cb's in evidence.

10.3c

Raining cats and dogs now according to the Davis console.
33.3mm/hr absolutely lashing with hail


I thought the winking weatherman last night said these showers today were to be mainly in the northern half of the country...

Snowbie

Lashed hail here too from a broken cloudy sky. Very localised and the hail was medium sized too.

Nothing here, just a couple of light showers, barely enough to wet surfaces.

Deep Easterly

Indeed,I was in Tullow today-beautifully sunny skies and the car temp reading 19c(Nice branty new Tesco there I see...I bet the local corner shops aren't happy!)
I got a call from longford to say their car temp was reading 22c up there.

As I climbed over the hills towards the East coast and back towards arklow,the car temp at 3pm had dropped back to 14c! Still in blue sunny skies but up at 800ft or so in full wind from the Irish sea about 5 miles east of there.
I see the peak here was only 14.7c-unsurprising as the wind at ground level here off the sea was hitting almost 30mph)
Fully cloudy now with spots of light rain.

Danno

Mothman

Danno

Got 7.8mm of rain since midnight. Sunny with fair weather cloud now. 16.3c and looking sweet.

Alot of the rain seems to have come in two sharp downpours - at 4am and just before 8am. Would anyone know if there were thunderstorms in that front?

mike65

Now like summer, still drying out though. It must have come down last night.

Mike.
