    It would, there is just no end to it here in Cork.

    Bar 2 cold spells in December and January it has been raining pretty much every day for the last 7 months and alot of days are downpours.

    Seriously considering moving abroad from Oct-March this Winter, have hoped to do it for a number of years but I don't think I can take another winter here, they are getting worse each year.

    Sick of rain and cold wind.

    ECM 00z showing a very wet end to the month for the SW in particular, and the GFS has no sign of things settling down all the way out to the end of its run on the 10th April.

    Couple of my friends are going to Portugal this week. They asked me to check the weather, they thought I was taking the piss when I said worse than here.

    The weather outlook for much of Spain and especially Portugal looks horrendous, even wetter than here. Surprised to see the Malaga region in for about 170mm of rain over the next 10 days.

    Wr are going to Portugal on Wednesday. Hoping it won't be wet all the time. But at least the rain will be a bit warmer than here.

    Looking at radar, looks like a (very) wet evening incoming for the South East and East.

    Rain total for the month so far here in Greystones at 114.2mm.

    GFS 12z rainfall totals for Spain and Portugal are very high indeed over 300mm in places. This could potentially cause flooding problems and when they get floods from rain it can be fairly serious as we have seen other years around this time. Rainfall totals in parts of north Portugal and north-west Spain almost going off the scale.

    Wasn't such a bad day after.....rain wise anyway. Some ugly drizzle between 12 and 1 Meath/Dublin. Dry rest of the day. That band of rain coming up the Irish Sea is knocking on Wicklows door now. Is it to stay around long tomorrow :(

    A very pretty sunset in Meath. Wasn't expecting that after a cloudy day.

    Jesus that would be just awful! Lousy luck for anyone going there to escape here. I'm going to Malta, week after Easter. Please tell me the forecast there is better 🤞🤞

    Indeed the same for me. The weather the last ten yrs or so has gotten very bland I think. With blandness not as much sticks out in the memory.

    I feel our spring/summer peaked too soon in other years. Basking in warm temperatures and sunshine in March/April/May and then hitting a cold brick wall later in the actual summer.

    Hoping for an actual summer in summer this year.

    We're in Ireland, we live in hope!

    At this stage I just want the rain to stop, that in itself will be a huge improvement.

    I agree, we seem to get good dry weather earlier and earlier. Last June was lovely too. We got about 2 weeks of warm sun around the LC exam. Hardly any rain in June.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    First half of June was lovely but from about the 20 June on it was very thundery and intense rain. We had a week of thunderstorms daily. It was the warmest June on record but certainly not true to say we’d hardly any rain.

    Ah yeah it's all relative but we had a very very dry May (with not as much sun) and then 2 fantastic weeks of sun in early June.

    Mace Head would be my closest station.

    May 2023 = 30mm (Average = 81)

    June 2023 = 56mm (Average = 82)

    Fax charts are the best a duck has seen in a while for the next few days (to T120), especially if you like to swim in the east.

    Indeed, charts are grim reading up to the end of the bank holiday weekend for the South and East. A bit of a spread in the main models in terms of overall precipitation but it's going to be wet. GFS is the worst of the forecasts, and has the SW much wetter than the other models do.

    A little bit yes, but fall victim to the "good week bad weekend" rule of the past nine months.


    What we haven't had is an Azores high pressure sitting over us, giving us calm weather and warm conditions. If we have, fog has appeared, or endless grey cloud.
