Unfollowing this thread, sorry.

There's some great users on here, but the doom and gloom of the few here just makes it miserable.

First two days of April so far have delivered a mere 7.8mm of rain...though it was raining here on and off all day.

This is reflected on a national level too. Charts showing % of average rainfall for the year so far for the last few years. This year much wetter than last to date, but still not as wet as was the same period in 2014

Without the Winters, they wouldn't be that high (2014 and 2016)

Gonzo

.... only 17mm in my back yard so nothing exceptional.

I know I've unfollowed the thread, but I just have to express how nice today is, and how unexpected this is. Currently a cloudless west Clare sky with the sun splitting the rocks, with no wind and apparently a temperature of 16.9c.

Hard to believe there is murky rainy skies so near.

sryanbruen

Rain expected to come back soon here whilst it is dry and very cloudy right now - still no sunshine so far this month!

Schadenfreudia

Temp 9.5C which the highest today (overnight low was 6.1C)....dull and cloudy with spits of light rain on and off but the total today is only 1.0mm - giving a grand total the past three days of just 9.8mm.

Amazing the amount of rain to the south, north and west of here!

Kilternan: 7.8mm

Sunny and Calm here

Its getting beyobd belief, when we have good weather, the thread goes dead, the second we get a rain shower we get -"SICK OF THIS WEATHER" "WE HAVE THE WORST WEATHER IN THE WORLD" "THIS IS AWFUL" "MUCK"

Of course the thread goes dead, because we're out enjoying the "good" weather??? And since we're not out in the "horrible weather" (rain), there's nothing to do other than moan about it 'cause we can't do what we normally like to do in good weather.

Hey! At least they are having a great day in Clare....it's not all doom and gloom (well, up here it is!)

We could really do with 16.6C here...get things growing....
