Spring 2021 General Discussion

Another great day here in Kerry, running around this morning with shirt sleeves rolled up. Long live the High Pressure.

Top temp of 15.9C at my increasingly sheltered site but normally get a bit more out of a SE'ly fohn effect with the breeze releasing a bit more heat at this side of the mountains.

Spring evenings during this week in west Mayo.

A clear, crisp morning out here. I was outside at eventide last night and the sheer beauty of flat calm ocean reflecting orange shore lights, with the lambent, glowing sky.
And a deep peaceful silence as the day opens quietly in brightness.

Another beautiful but chilly morning in Kildare. -1°

Crisp, sunny and frosty morning on Dublin 5 following on from a lovely day yesterday. The highest temperature recorded in my area this month is 13.0c, would be interesting if this isn't exceeded for the remainder of the month, unlikely though.

Donegal Storm

Finally a nice sunny couple of days in Letterkenny, garden is still a bog but at least the ground is drying out. Trees are still totally bare so hopefully this will kickstart a bit of growth

Rivalling spring last year at this rate, glorious.

West Mayo is the loveliest part of Ireland. I knew that over 20 years ago when I was first over here, and I know it now, settled here.. Home.

A sturdy wind, and chilly.

Good luck!

I took Degree Finals exams on my 21st! No idea what the weather was. They let me keep my cards on the desk....

Bitterly cold. Grey and chill.

Looked out and seen clear blue skies and a gentle breeze. Went out and sat outside for about 3 mins before I had to give in and go back inside, it would skin you alive out there. Cant take much more of this cold weather.

Yes just did the same...freezing wind in North county Dublin.

WIld, wet, windy... nasty old weather altogether.

Did I say COLD?

Deeply thankful for my furry purry mates.... SHIVERS!

Anyone else find it very cold today. The last few days have been in the main bright and relatively sunny without being warm. Today was just downright cold.

Same here, spent most of the day taking out window sashes and refitting them, in a draught all day and couldn't warm myself

Very cold out today. Horrible biting wind. Need things to start warming up soon but next week looks to be more of the same coolness.

The average temp in Ireland for mid-April is 13º or so. 14º for the start of May. It could be a while before things warm up!

The wind would cut you in two here in East Clare.
It was actually ok at 11 this morning, t shirt running weather, it got colder as the day went on..

Donegal Storm

I see our Coleraine/Limavady friend has finally been banned, hopefully a return to more normal posting ahead, the forum has been a chore to read these past couple of months and not just because of that one user


A cold, overcast day today in Letterkenny, its been cold all spring here so far so no change there, still no foliage on trees and no days where its been pleasant enough to sit out. Looking at the models the week ahead should hopefully get milder as the week goes on finally

Gray and chill.

All plans have been revised.. I "even" may light the fire/stove! Now that is a record for abstemious me! In mid April....

At least there is no wind...

Very dry in parts of the south this month so far, with Johnstown Castle still only on 2.1mm up to yesterday and 3.7 in Sherkin Island. Belmullet, Markee and Knock are the wettest with each around 22 or 23mm.

On the drive facing southerly it was lesser and mild.

Just starting to cloud up here in Galway after some nice hazy sunshine this morning feeling a little cool now with a light breeze.

Gorgeous in Dublin, the wind is fairly nippy though, has stayed blue skies and sunny for longer than was forecast so far.
