We had rain yesterday here too... and it might make some more again today by the look of it...
I was away the past two weeks, and the change in 2 weeks is very noticeable... not sure grass growth has been super, but it's come on a bit too...
The trees / ditches / briars have come on savage tho
Fecking cold though, there was a wind that would cut you yesterday eve... Strange for May bank holiday...0 -

No rain here today. So much for the forecast. Dry next week too.
Must be the driest April on record here. Only 14.5mm for Shannon Airport. Average is 59.2mm.

For people that say our weather always averages out the same every year with rainfall and temperature, etc, etc this has been shown to be complete bo**ox.
If you say that you believe in luck and fairies.
For the so called experts who say this will be our climate and that's it, clearly don't understand the different intricacies how one weather effect in one part of the world can effect another.
I'm no expert myself but picking up on a few things and I know you can't say what can happen in a few years time with weather. There's so many factors at play from E.N.S.O and Arctic Oscillation and Sun's influence (to name a few) that cannot be predicted.
But by trying to understand what led to extreme conditions in different parts of Ireland (even though it's a small country, there's big differences in general weather) we can maybe see if any of the above factors mentioned change what weather we can expect to happen.
In the meantime though I may have to keep the dirty water on the paddocks.
Although it is raining a bit here.
I always thought we got about the same average rainfall every year? Am I wrong?
Or is it dependant on how much you drill down into the statistics?0 -

I can only show the data from the last three years here for Johnstown Castle.
But the rainfall figure for 2016 was way back on 2014.
Nearly 160mm's in the difference.

Then look at the Global Solar Radiation in Joules/cm2.
It's falling every year.
Then look at potential evapotranspiration and evaporation that fell every year too for those three years.
Averages are a man made mathematical equation that go back for the last 30 years (in weather) to help man sleep or stay awake at night while not understanding that that big ocean on the other side of the world (and that's one factor) is actually influencing whether we have storms and flooding or calm and dry.0 -

But to me, 6% isn't massive...
I'd be looking it at 33% of the year is gone.
But only 20% of the mean rainfall has fallen...
So we'll pay for that at some point - maybe the rainfall will be a lower level, in the 900 rather than the 1050 mean... but it still means less time for more rain to fall...
That's what I'd read into it anyways...
I could well be wrong... I don't know or won't pretend to know what influences the weather... I pose I am just going on the numbers, and what the rain is like 'on the ground'
(on the ground, see what I did there)

You've fallen into the trap of saying "We'll pay for this yet".
Weather has no memory or consciousness.
It's only a reaction to cold or hot water in the Pacific, chemicals/gases in the atmosphere and thermal reactions from the Sun.
Next you'll believe in luck and fairies and Leitrim.;)0 -
