Warm spell from Sunday 5th May ?.

The sun simply couldn't be arsed to breakthrough, for a while it peeked past the cloud and then seemed to shrug at the effort required.

12C here all day and feeling colder in the wind, tomorrow looks like the warmest day of the week with highs here around 14C

Back to even colder weather then with a severe frost forecast for Friday night...



Thread title change in order I think!

Nice image. I see the West at least escapes the frost. So, three days of average temps and a frost? That's it for now?

I'd be very surprised if temps actually do get that low but thats the current projection anyway

Tomorrow should actually be quite warm in the southern half of the country away from coasts and sheltered from the breeze but the rest of the week looks cool again

still time for one more frost, i still think the end of May could be warm before a deluge for June bank holiday

at least we're not alone, usually we have to watch anywhere east of London bake while we freeze but according to Euronews, May temps in the Bordeaux area are 7 degrees below average and Germany is having its coldest May since 1962 ( 1962!! ) the south of France is getting washed out too.

Did anyone see the Giro Italia? Snow!

Exactly. Northern France, and The Benelux counties even colder than Ireland in some parts at present and very very unsettled too. Even MARDID has temperatures as cool as Dublin. For the past 8 days the average temp in Mardrid has been running around 8 degrees below normal and on Friday the max temp there only got to 11 degrees which is crazy for mid May!

extraordinary to have such a significant wind chill less than a month away from mid summers day.
even in winter a day like this could be considered "cold"

Blizzards possible in the Scottish highlands tonight! Mind you it can be winter any day up there.

Coldest spring I can remember march was bitter and dry with an easterly wind , April cold and wet now may not much better

Great thing about the weather is we don't really know what miserable weather is front of us. Sure we suspect it will probably be desperate but the memories and the ghosts of summer past tantalise us and keep us hoping. Plus the law of averages has us now at this point in time ,massively overdue a warm spell. And a warm spell in June July or August is something special. As long as Mt's forecasts indicate a faint hope of a pick up in a week to ten days time things are not too bad. Today though is a particularly nasty mix of biting northern breeze and squalls. But it appears idyllic (from inside) with the high sun between the showers.
Its strange to see the sun almost a bystander having no effect on what's happening on the ground.

If we knew this time last year that un favourable weather would stalk us all the way to the present time then we would all have been swamped by depression thank god the forecasts can't see too far ahead.

Very cold out :mad: strange seeing people wear hats, scarfs, coats etc
to think its nearly June.

Not too strange that it's so cold as the Azores high tries to push up but is blocked by Scandinavia low,

Prevailing wind is northwest for 2 more weeks then warmer southwest though this weekend will be 16c
