Current Weather Conditions -- January 2010

nacho libre

-1.5 c

the trough has reached as far as here but all that's left is cloud cover. I Have been cherishing the white vista this morning because after tomorrow i doubt we'll see such wintry scenes for the rest of this winter. Of course it will be frosty and cold again at times, but i doubt it will be as intense

**the above is the dismiss the return of cold completely approach in the hope the very cold air reloads again soon**:D

MetLuver

slight thaw here sun just came out but thaw began before that.I wasnt aware of any warmer air around. Im sure its just while wind direction is changing from SE to NE.

Snowing heavily in Sligo at the moment - biggest flakes I've seen here - some over 2 inches across!!!

Bright and even warm sun when you are in it, but otherwise cold!

Ruu_Old

Currently -18C (like -25C), sunny with possibility of some snow flurries later on. Meant to get above freezing towards the end of next week (maybe 2C ).

Radio Dude

Why do forecasts differ between sources. I presume that the data is the same for all so why do the forecasts interpretations differ so much.

The weather forecast is different between Met / BBC / Weather Channel and Sky for Ireland and historically not very accurate. Is the forecasting an exact science (be it not accurate) or is just their intepretation of the data.

0.5 - 1cm of snow lying here in places, cloud starting to roll in from the east coast now.

Overcast. I hope the cloud breaks up so i can get one more hard frost before the snow tomorrow.

rameire

Athy Current temp is -6c
Cloud cover is very high.
Temp has not gone into + figures today.
and about 3 to 4 cm of snow and more in other places still lying on the ground.
looking forward to tomorrow and making a proper snowman out of all the snow to come.

Cloudy, breezy, frosty Slavic type weather but very very dry. -2.1c and feeling particularly raw in the slowly increasing NNE breeze.

overcast- with the darker cloudy rolling in now.
the current temperature is -1.2 c, but it feels colder than that in the raw easterly breeze that has picked up
