Spring 2024 - General Discussion

Thanks for that guys. You have eased my worries.

I was there about 2 years ago and it was uncomfortable but I’ve just been told that was in august so hopefully June treats me better.

Must say I'm loving these bright mornings and evenings and finally some dry weather to go along with it.

Quiet enough weather in the Northwest now after the snow last week. Was 12c yesterday which was pleasant in the sun. Spring is probably the most benign of all our seasons with March to May usually bringing little in the way of extremes bar rain sometimes.

As for Summer I'd imagine more rain at times with the odd warm or very warm spell. I don't foresee a 1995 myself.

Think an often dry period will come at some point . Think it's only a matter of time before we have a switch over. Who knows heading into spring/summer 2025 could be talking about drought conditions lol.

And by the time that its effects could become noticeable in our part of the world, we'll be just passing the spring equinox so depending on wind source, we could even get some half decent temperatures as we head into April if an east wind has a continental source. Eastern counties would be rather chilly though.

Wonder will we have to wait for El Niño to completely fade away to go back to a drier phase?

Pig of a day again here in tipp. Feels like we are getting every last drop of rain here,going to get at least half an inch of rain alone today

I am hoping for a settled spell any time ..........

Lovely week of Spring weather. Dry for the most part. The grass is growing faster now.

Feels like it has been autumn since the warm spell broke start of Sept, at least the days are getting longer, but could really do with a bit of warmth and some dry calm weather soon. It hasn't felt like spring yet.

that easterly wind today would tear the skin off you, this morning was lovely though

At least we have had some sunny weather at times during the week.

Last Saturday morning was cold but stunning until the rain came in afternoon.

We spent a lovely few hours out in the park.

Yep Rebelbrowser i feel your pain!

Also the so called 'temperature' at 7 degrees was a joke as when you include the wind chill Met Eireann says it feels more like -3 which makes a lot more sense.

Same here in NCD and so dark, every light is on in the house!

dry and sunny it certainly wasn’t in my location for the week that’s for sure. Today another manky day cold dull rain on and off since mid morning.

After two dry days it's back to the rain,dark,cold and drizzling away

Horrible night lashing rain.

Absolutely no end to the cold, grey, overcast weather at the moment in Cork. Last Tuesday was amazing, lovely day, but dismal ever since really. Trying to brighten but no sun and absolutely no warmth.

No sun forecast for days and days either.

Been like this since the weather broke in June last year. Absolutely miserable, **** sick of it.
