should do the trick

Some sun!!!!! me faints....

Mike.

3rd beautifull sunny morning in a row here-lets hope its as nice a day as yesterday.
And guess what-No frost either!

Danno

7.2c, Cloudy.

Mothman

Was a very mild night with a min above 9C. Actually still about 9C now. Been mostly cloudy morn, but getting a prolonged sunny interval atm so temp may edge up a bit. Was quite a blustery night as well.

Mothman

It was continuous sunshine since last report. Got 3.7h in all. Temp dropping rapidly under clear sky and calm conditions. Now 4C with a hard freeze on the ground. Grass temp at -3C and dropping.

Mothman

Now 1.9C...
Grass temp -4.5C

2nd air frost of year coming up.

Mothman

Air 0.2C
Grass -5C

and meanwhile 15 miles down the road we're just above 3c under clear skies with some but very little cloud and no sign of any frost yet

I do believe thats the first time I've seen you colder than me mothman

Look more often when conditions are calm. it's not a frost hollow here, but it is lowland and temps can fall low relative to surrounding areas.

Now it's

-0.4C

Grass -6C, lowest of winter!!

Mothman

-1.1C

Not far off lowest of winter, didn't expect it to drop this low.

Grass -7C

Max today of 10.5C

Edit
And what did the tV forecast say earlier, down to 2-3C under clear sky?

Oh -1.3C now

Just under one now and a slight frost is forming on the car
Heres the local N11 report for 8pm also full 2c warmer than you

Well it may have bottomed out at -1.6C though if sky remains clear and it stays calm, it could well get colder.

It won't be this cold here during the next week....


Incidently, most of the country is at +6-7C

yeah thats mad isnt it-we've been lucky round here this past few days with the sunshine too.

East Coast FM sounded silly with their forecast tonight-"mostly cloudy with drizzle-min temp 4-7 degree's..."

And I hate when they say things like " its 4 degree's in Bray and Gleneally"
They take a temp at their studios in Bray and decide its that temp all over the county.

It gets really ridiculous when they say its 5 degrees in Greystones and Glencree.
Shur Glencree would be way colder than Greystones...

Anyway thats off topic

That's very obvious when you know a little about the weather here. Such a sham. Someone once asked me, did they take my temp off my website when they heard Ashford being mentioned, so I dropped the bombshell to them, that they just mention thier Bray temp and pluck 2 locations from the county each hour.

Anyway, just to be on topic

Air -1.6C
Grass -7.5C

Both lowest of winter.

ninebeanrows

Thats your temp now Angus?? :eek:

Nowhere near that here you must be up on a mountain top?
Or more likely near the Curragh??

Im climbing Djouce Tomorrow so it will be chilly if what
your saying is correct??

You need geography lessons

The Curragh is on the other side of the mountains.

and are you casting doubt on my credibility??

Check my site, it'll be mentioning -1.8C in couple minutes

Its because the sky is clear and no wind

A lot of the country has dropped a degree during past hour though Rosslare has dropped from 6C to 4C as the clear sky has reached there.

ninebeanrows

No im not Angus its just an amazing variability.
its 6.8c here with a film of cumulo - stratus

We were speaking to the road ice team at the MET
last week. They predict the road state, air temperature and
ground temperature at all the NRA road weather stations.
Its all to do with the cloud breaks as i know, they compared
the forecast with the actual recordings and its rather poor..
Hope Dapper aint watching!!

Predicting where frost may occur is is near impossible.

And Angus i got an A in Geography

ninebeanrows

Just saw the drop :eek: From 8 to -1.8 in how long? :eek:

No wonder you need Geography lessons are you ever in School
You should have done it last week and you would have seen snow probably.
In the clear blue sunshine this afternoon I could see lugnaquilla and all the snow is gone off it.
Back on topic...

And Arklow Bypass at -0.8C, road temp just above 0C


And I ramp in retrospect

Still -0.9C...

Mothman

Well a puff of wind forced the temp to rise to -0.6C

but now as I sign off for night its -2.2

-2.6C

which makes it my 2nd coldest Feb temp on record (since 1999) a bit to go to the -4.2C on Feb 15th 2003

Mothman

Overnight Mins

Air -2.8C
Grass -7.9C

Currently 5C with thin cloud

have attached graph with Temp and windspeed.

Another Beautifull sunny morning here again.
Frost all gone

Who needs snow

mike65

Yesterday was dullllllllllll but dry, today its bright and sunny and even quite mild. I may be forced to cut the front lawn later...assuming the mower still works!

Mike.

ninebeanrows

Cloudy up here by the sea, you can have your Wicklow frost!
Good god it was lovely and sunny and then we headed
up the mountain and the driving fog was not pretty!
Freezing cold, Heavy driving drizzle and soaking wet summed
up my day, visibility was about 25-50m's!

The we head around 100m further down and its nice and sunny!

Mothman

Can't quite see Djouce from home, but it is often shrouded. Was in the area on Sunday and it was miserable, damp and cold, was nice day at home.

Glorious afternoon and a mild 11C

Mothman

Just realised, that today, not only was the the lowest temp in these islands (Britain included) here but also the highest temp as well!!

How bizarre is that?

Max was 11.8C during a bit of sunshine.

Currently it's 10C
