Spring 2023 - General Discussion

Gonzo

a lovely day in Meath, to me it doesn't feel nearly as bitter as the past few days, definitely some warmth in the sun today.

However the next 4 to 5 days are going to be very cool everywhere particularly the south-east of the country which will have the core of low upper air temperatures drifting across from UK/Netherlands. This may then be followed early next week with a cold plunge from artic regions.

SleetAndSnow

Nice and sunny in Cork City, about 12 degrees though still which is consistent for nearly a week now. Windy though!

Storm 10

beautiful day in Galway but like others that bloody East wind is cold especially in the shade

.Donegal.

After a sunny morning yesterday was overcast and breezy. Today is wall to wall sunshine with a breeze at times. Great day.

Stunning day in Kildare with abundant sunshine and v low humidity

Dazler97

Wall to wall sun across the country , 16c in the west to 10c in Dublin, that wind is taking the tops off the temperatures

joe199

Bitterly cold wind in Dublin, its even cold to sit in the sun, such a shame as it looked beautiful from the window in work

Glorious day in Galway. I love this time of year.

KanyeSouthEast

A stunning day for me in April would be 16 degrees no wind and abundant sunshine. This is a lovely day to look at and a million times better than the spring we’ve had or are likely to get for the next 2 weeks.

After the warm one day wonder on Sunday, Tuesday and yesterday were absolutely freezing but perhaps today I got more acclimatized to the chilly easterly wind as it was a very sunny day. Went for a long walk today in that sun and despite the wind I still felt comfortable wearing a t-shirt, whereas yesterday and the day before I wore a warm huddie to keep me warm against the chill.

Not a cloud in the sky this evening here near Tralee, got up to 16.8C, a keen breeze again today but excellent drying and I know that some farmers here in North Kerry are trying to catch up with the ploughing so great drying weather for that. Saw a few Lenticulars today.

High of 16.8C currently 13.1C here near Tralee

Cork 😎

Nice day yesterday but the biting wind made it feel cool. This morning overcast and the wind really making it feel cold enough.

Chris_5339762

Cracking day in Cork but you needed a good coat as the easterly wind and the general cool kept it ok, but not springlike.

Cloudy now AGAIN this morning, and the weekend AGAIN looking like shite. Absolutely sick now of getting all the nice days during the week and muck at the weekend.

managed to get the grass cut yesterday evening before we head back into an unsettled spell of weather beginning later today/tomorrow. I previously cut the grass on Sunday, the level of grass growth between last Sunday and yesterday was crazy, after just 4 days the lawn needed another cut.

Thanks again! We are almost 24 hours out and are committed to it at this stage so no turning back.

It looks like it's going to be a wash out in Dublin tomorrow afternoon right? 😅😅

.Donegal.

From what I can see Millstreet ACS in the SW was the cold spot overnight with a low of -0.4c.

DOCARCH

Shoulda cut the grass at lunchtime! Rain has arrived in Greystones. At least it will wash the sea salt off the windows and cars!

Meteorite58

Nice at the Donkey Sanctuary in Liscarroll today but feeling very cool in the breeze but great that it stayed dry.

mr.stonewall

In the grass side from the farming perspective, I have went from a a famine to a feast since last Saturday. things were tight, but by Monday you could see things starting to explode.

Even the trees, especially the oak, birch and sycamore have driven on with the warmer days.

BagofWeed

Reckon it'll be another horror of constant grey misty skies for Cork City again this coming summer. Not forgetting its constant and loyal companion, the wind/breeze.

DOCARCH

Rain did not last long earlier....just a sprinkle. Fine evening now in Greystones. Waves still rolling in as they have all week.

Watched both weather's on BBC n rte today and they both had sun in the Northwest all day yet it rained. How did that happen? Looked out n saw drops of water on the window and thought the kids had the water pistols out?

Dazler97

Today's highs, 18.1c in north Leitrim

Kutebride

After all those days of pleasant sunshine this week and bright conditions and tidying the garden, can't use it today for family gathering. Rotten morning. Meath.

pad199207

Very heavy rain in Kildare to start with this morning

It's like the darkest depths of Mordor in D5 today
