Spent Sunday Monday and Tuesday in Munich. No cloud no rain no showers just 3 glorious days of bright sunshine and temperatures of 24 degrees each day. I heard people at work talk about the great weather I missed? Was this Sunday only? I’ve seen photos of events Monday and it looked overcast and it rained yesterday?

By far, the best May Bank Holiday I recall in my 38 years on this earth.
Where I live in North Kildare, it was partly cloudy till about noon, then mainly clear until late evening. I think I was in one of the sunnier parts of the country though. Friday was great. Saturday and Sunday were just stunning.

Ultimate Seduction

Apart from the first half of today, this has been a great 10 days or so in Dublin of weather. Saturday was a touch on the warm side for my liking, but otherwise it was very nice.

Was down in the South East for the weekend, was glorious! While sea fog seemed to spoil in a few areas, the vast majority of the area seemed to be basking in glorious sunshine from about midday everyday!

Yesterday was good other than the morning rain. Today isn't great though. Rain in the afternoon and it's been chilly all day. If only it's miserable tomorrow instead of today...(no sarcasm). The sun came out briefly during the evening.

Stunning morning. Gradually becoming cloudier.

huge improvement over yesterday. One light shower so far, but mostly feeling warm and sunny.

Rock Lesnar

Nice day in Dublin. Feeling warm in the sun but as soon as it goes behind the clouds it feels absolutely bitter.

How far offshore? ASL 150?

Very windy at Grange and this feels like the windiest May day here since 23 May 2011.

Latest UKMO run shows high pressure attempting to push up from the Azores and the jet stream trying to head northwards on Tuesday.

Gonzo

another horrible day here, cold, damp and very windy. feels more like late October/early November.

Next week is starting to show signs of a few decent days hopefully.

Meteorite58

Nice bright sunny spells here near Tralee and wind has eased, couple of big showers going through quickly. Cool.

Heaviest rain here in Waterford City I've seen in quiet a while. Even some hail in the mix too. 20.8mm recorded at my station since Midnight.
Temp also dropped significantly in a heavier outburst from 9.4 to 6.6c.
