    Looks like finally getting much warmer next week, particularly towards the weekend :) That was a really cold May and the poor vegetation growth shows it.

    Of course. The Leaving Cert starts next week.

    Looks like things will turn warmer and perhaps more thundery at times once we get past the middle of the week.

    A fecking joke, feels colder than any time since about February. Still have heated blanket switched on :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭yellowlabrador


    I went for a walk with the dog, well wrapped up and it was horrible, even the dog looked disgusted. We came home wet and cold. Better light the fire to dry us out.It was 10 c. and very windy.

    It will take some serious good weather to make up for what we've experienced so far. I know June is the start of the meteorological summer but here's a scary thought the longest day of the year is only 3 weeks away. There hasn't been one proper really nice evening yet and in fact most of them have been unpleasant.

    Map showing mean temp difference from normal over the last 7 days. (from met.ie)

    Temps here today barely touched 10.0c at their peak and now only 8.4c. Would have been nice out if not for that screaming wind, really slicing.

    A bitterly cold December's evening here on the Donegal coast with strong winds and hail showers, everyone wrapped up in winter coats with hats and gloves. After heavy rain from afternoon onwards yesterday and tomorrow set to be terrible the whole weekend looks to be a complete write off

    Looking good! And just in time for Summer :)

    Today 13C and windy - next weekend 23C and sunny.

    The old proverb 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out' is vindicated yet again....

    This chart shows the IMT* daily anomaly for mean temperature for the recent Spring. The climate period used is only small (2007 - 2015) but may serve to give a general overview of the daily conditions.

    350712.PNG
    Data C/O Met Eireann

    Relatively few warm days over the season, with even the notably warm maxes during parts of April being offset by unusual cool night minima.

    IMT stats for spring based around this short period:

    Mean temp anomaly: -0.7°C (coolest since 2013)
    Mean rainfall percent: 117.8% (wettest since 2009)
    Mean wind speed deviation: +0.8 knots (highest since 2013)
    MeanRH deviation: -1.4% (lowest since 2010)
    Mean Pressure anomaly: 2.5 hPa (highest since 2011)


    *IMT index in this case includes the means of 10 synoptic station on the met.ie network, in contrast to the 5 used in M.T's monthly competition.


    All data C/O Met Eireann & Ogimet.

    It means cast off your winter clothes - old English.

    Yeah I know the proverb its the bit about next weekends temperatures I'm asking about.


    A clout is a vest.

    I was basking in the warm glow of Supercell's chart.

    Of course it's Summer now so we should get ready for the heatwave on a new thread?
