    Lovely and sunny now at Grange after what has been a quiet, murky day.

    Heavy showers here all afternoon but I’ll take it as at least it’s not bloody freezing.

    Nice bright and dry day in Castlebar, got up to 12C, surprised it did not pour rain as there were quite a lot of very dark clouds around at times, still have the windows open, first time this year at this hour I have been able to do that.

    I had a heavy shower at around 6:30 but other than that it's been fine since the fog and rain lifted.

    That's a bizarre looking band of rain on the radar!

    Fairly narrow band heading due North from Cork into Tipp.

    Is it a streamer?

    Looks like it's heading our way in Roscommon - hope to God it dies out soon!

    I'm on the coast In Cork underneath it. I woke up to heavy rain at half 6 and presumed it was a shower heading east. It hasn't stopped since! I was equally surprised to see on the radar that it was heading due north.

    Right.

    No don't send it here! Send the rain to the sea where it disturbs no one! On another note, good start to the day in Dublin, some sunshine but a lot of clouds around. In Dublin we've had a few good days, February had a number of them (I'm talking about sunshine here). The last Sunday before the cold spell was brilliant. I think those in the South were plagued with clouds.

    There are signs of nicer weather to come next week with more sunshine and warmer temperatures but since the wind would be an easterly, the temperature on the east coast would be pegged down a bit. Those on the east coast of England will really be suffering, with temperatures struggling there because of the cold SSTs and there would be plenty of cloud and mist. Yuck.

    I’d consider warm for early Spring to be 14 degrees or warmer. We’ve had no day here like that and any sunshine has been sporadic and not perlonged. It seems like we’ve had rain most days. I work widely in Munster and this is the experience of everyone I talk to. Farmers are at their wits end. I’m sitting in Kilkenny now and it’s raining.

    You said this "The only people I hear talking about good weather and gorgeous days are here the rest of the country is sick **** of this winter. "

    Maybe your location has gotten a bad dose of weather relative to other areas, or maybe we just have a better outlook and enjoy the little patches of good weather we do get.

    Whatever it is, there's some contrast there.

    On another note, a mild day here in West Clare, not much in the way of sunshine, and there was 2 quite heavy showers. Overall not a terrible day though, easy to get out and about.
