Forecasts for Ireland


TODAY ... A few sunny intervals east, mostly cloudy west and central counties, with a few outbreaks of light rain, but also some brighter intervals there as well. Highs 15 to 17 C except cooler in onshore breezes near south and east coasts.

TONIGHT ... Gradual clearing with just a few patches of low cloud and isolated light showers near west coast, lows about 4 to 7 C.

FRIDAY ... Variable cloud with afternoon sunshine returning, warmer for most, isolated showers in the morning will be quite light and brief in duration. Morning lows 4 to 7 C and afternoon highs 15 to 19 C.

SATURDAY ... Increasing cloud, warm except near south coast due to onshore breezes as winds increase to southerly 40 to 60 km/hr. Lows near 7 C and highs near 19 C, possibly 20 in some parts of the midlands.

SUNDAY ... Rain from early morning into mid-day hours, heavier in western counties where it could turn thundery at times. Rather warm and humid especially in eastern counties. Lows 10 to 13 C and highs 17 to 21 C.

MONDAY ... The front will continue to drop some rain in western counties but the system will weaken and dissipate by afternoon leading to mostly sunny skies and highs near 19 C (somewhat cooler in coastal Leinster).

OUTLOOK ... Warm spells will persist most of the rest of May in a generally east to southeast wind flow, highs could reach 22-24 C in western counties at times, but will be held down somewhat in the east by cold waters of the Irish Sea, even so, should be near or slightly above normal in the Dublin region too with highs 17 to 20 C.

Rain just starting here. It turned very cool this evening and now looks like a sup of moisture to drive a bit of growth on the drier land here.

Say my name

You'll get the rain too.
Me however might not.

When you'd want a bit of rain for a reseed (now) it wouldn't come and when you'd want it dry later in the week for silage you'd get thunderstorms off the Irish sea.
Hard to plan these things out. :rolleyes:
I suppose as they say " Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present."

It fecked off fairly quickly. Could do with an inch soon, growth slowing and silage ground still needs a bit of rolling

This is true but abit of moisture is needed too.

Mooooo

Not much over night but starting away again now. Only light rain. Cows still sinking away in heavier ground, dry ground is fine after the last few days

Are you willing to be lynched by 95% of the farming community? Noone looking for rain here

Never said that. What I'm saying is that not everyone will be happy with the weather. No rain here for last 10 days but a tiny bit this morning and abit tomorrow but none for another 10 days after. It was welcome as we needed abit of moisture.

I had an acre flooded 2 weeks ago that's down to the puddles now and anywhere dry is cracking. Now I know we had a bad winter but if someone is willing to lynch someone for looking for a small bit of moisture after 10 days then they have an issue. Always some ready to complain about rain no matter how little it is. If people are thst wound up about it then ghey shouldnt be farming.

I know lads are in bother in parts of the country but then the problem is the land itself. If it can't dry itself up after a fortnight of dry weather than maybe it's not suited for livestock. Equally so if that part of the country is getting none stop rain and not drying out.....then the same applies.

Pointless complaining about someone's land being dry when yours is damp. Just do the best ya can with what ya have. For such a small country we have mad climates which is just the reality of the situation.

The same people who would be in good form would be the very ones complaining that the grass ain't growing after that month of dry weather as it's half starved of moisture.

Do you honestly think anyone in the country would lynch anyone else for saying that they were looming for rain. Dont take everything so literally. :_

You said a bit if moisture was needed... a vast majority would disagree, and the slim few that might like some rain, wouldn't be actully for it yet. I know that out in schull that they have 40mm got since this time yesterday.

Its stopped here now, hopefully it'll dry up tomorrow

SuperTortoise

Drizzle most of last night and today in the NW, no real harm in it, ground was almost drying while the drizzle came down. Unless we get heavy showers tonight we seem to have missed the heavy stuff for a change!

Last summer/early autumn the weather was as close to perfection as we could get here in the south east, while it was brutally wet from most of the midlands heading west/north. It's a simple fact that we are heading into drought stress here right now, and it will take afew decent days of rain to get us outa it, which really isn't what the rest of yous want I know ha. It was actually quite similar may last yr, the big bloody problem then was it pissed rain for like 3 full weeks from the 20th May on which made the 1st cut very difficult.

flying along here, will do bales this week. More bales next week and first cut in a week or 2. Fertiliser only went out on silage ground on 30th april, what a difference a few weeks makes. We got little or no rain today

charolais0153

Drizzled sown here today. Was very close at the same time.

Mooooo

Light rain all day, getting heavier now. I think it's around 2 or 3 in the morning the heavier stuff is to come

mengele

What counties are getting this so called heavy rain. I'd say everyone who has crops and grass set would like a heavy day of it and then to clear again for another 5 or 6 days

Mooooo

Wet in cork anyway

Bleating Lamb

For anyone looking at the rainfall radar.

Do you see that little tiny clear spot in the southeast?
That's where I live.

None.
We must have been the only part of the country which escaped the rain.
(Which is normally a good thing).

There's a big chance of thunderstorms for us in the southeast from maybe Thursday on for a few days. So no panic yet.
