The southerly wind is dragging muck up to the south coast. The warm air going over the cool sea will create lots of cloud and fog. The same is happening in the south coast of England.

And Arklow which juts out just enough to make a southerly fetch murk all the way from Bilbao
Foggy all day today
Currently just 9c

Foggy the entire drive back to the city, never saw that before usually it's very local. On the roads that went up it got very dense.

Wales has beaten its all-time Feb high this afternoon.

sryanbruen

A non-descript day in Dublin.

Itssoeasy

It's a manky day in Cork. Bloody fog will be fun walking the dog later.

Nice day in Dublin albeit it not as sunny and warm as yesterday. High today 12C v 15C at my location yesterday.

Gonzo

feeling cool all day , was sun this morning, but mostly dull and slightly foggy conditions all afternoon.

Oscar Bravo

Has turned into a wet evening here in Castlebar

Dawn to dusk thick fog in Cobh. Awful show.

Oscar Bravo

Enjoy tomorrow ,esp those in the west

Tomorrow, Monday, will be dry with good spells of sunshine after a misty and foggy start. Maximum temperatures between 12 and 16 degrees, even up to 17 degrees in parts of the west. On east and south coasts it will be a bit cooler due to onshore southeast winds or lingering fog.

Some really dense fog patches driving through Louth and Monaghan earlier, unusual to see in the middle of the day

The fog never lifted where I am in Louth all day. I thought it was really cold, heating was on and fire lit.

Foul day in the southeast, mizzel through the morning then dull in the afternoon.

The Dublin area was by far the coldest overnight, with Casement and Dublin Airport both reporting a minimum of 2.5 °C. Currently Casement is 2.6 while the airport is 9.1!

Which is unusual because I’m usually the same as Casement. It’s 8c here.

6° Meath. Feels a degree or more chillier. Birds happily chirping. Sunrise beautiful.

Currently (and has been for over an hour) bang on 5c in North kildare.

Oscar Bravo

Nice summers morning here in Castlebar

Oneiric 3

Same here Oscar. Very summery look and feel. Reminds me of the late May/early June weather last year. The inevitable return to the dripping dank, medicore chill of late winter/early spring is going to be all the harder to take after a morning like this.

pauldry

11.2c in Sligo (no 11.3c now) but its 14c in Finner.

Surely a 17c in Val or Belmullet

But beware... these warm spells are always followed by much cooler conditions

March will prob end up colder than February

Indeed.

I love this weather, but I would prefer this in late March/April.

So would I but I will very gratefully take it right now....which I very much am doing so

SleetAndSnow

About 11 degrees, humid and cloudy in cork city again. Hopefully the sun breaks through today.

pauldry

16c in Derry at 1050am
15c in Donegal

Gonzo

beautiful warm and sunny morning here at Dunshaughlin. This would be similar to the mornings we had last May when the easterly breezes were keeping the east around the temperatures we have right now. It's very hard to believe this is February.

I am not sure we'll see any wintry conditions in March, but it will probably feel like a cold month compared to February, even if temperatures stay around average for the entire month.

Yeah im over near mornington today and its grand and warm, lovely day so far

Wednesday looks to be the last day of the extremely mild/warm conditions. From Thursday the 'yellow' temperature colors over Ireland get replaced by greens and sometimes blues, particularly from next weekend with much more unsettled conditions. Really make the most of the next 3 days, we may not see conditions like this again for some time to come.

youreadthat

All time UK Feb (and winter) high just got smashed. 20.3C and probably still rising.

Xenji

Edging towards 15 degrees in Castlebar, bright but no break in the cloud.
