Spring 2024 - General Discussion

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.

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)

Lashing it down In Arklow now

18mm+ since yesterday

Driving rain bashing the windows in a cold easterly

Dire

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.

Yeah- have we had 5 dry days together since June 20th 2023?

A miserable day here just east of Castlebar. I seen Knock Airport with a temperature of just 4 degrees around lunchtime

Good week might be a bit of a stretch but agree the weekends have been an absolute disaster.

Galway Beo with more disinformation, discrediting Met Éireann they should be banned from reporting weather

Met Eireann Ireland forecast 20C temperature spike as ‘first taste of summer’ hits

Here comes the sun

Hopefully it dries up a bit over the weekend according to the bbc deep dive forecast

Their rain prediction models have been very good over the past 2-3 months and I've stopped watching met eireann forecasts

Raining heavily in east Ulster tonight

Most parts of the warning area will see 15-25 mm of rain, with widely 30-40 mm, falling across exposed hills of the east. There is a chance that as much as 60-70 mm of rain could fall on the eastern slopes of the Antrim Plateau before rain clears.

What's that got to do with the weather 🤔

You clearly didn't look very hard for a more suitable place for your post.

The above would be a much more suited place. Mods, can we have the post on question moved to a more suitable forum, please?

🤦‍♂️

Really struggling to remember the last dry day

currently 6 degrees in the north east and lashing rain we definitely need to speed up this global warming craic time to burn more coal 😂

Ahhhhhh, a face palm emoji. I see how you associated the face PALM with PALM Sunday. Well done, you. I like it :-)

Also here in Whitechurch, Co. Cork.

I would put "snowing" in quotes because it's very wet, bordering on sleet. But definitely big flakes mixed in. 🌨️

Another stunning day here in NCD, yeah right.

At this stage I'd probably die of shock if I opened the curtains and it wasn't raining.

Also seems to be going backwards with temperatures, very cold the last few days.

Apart from St. Patrick's Day which was glorious, March has been wet and miserable.

Never got above about 14 or 15, usually you would have a few warm days.

Washing dry, I don't think so it's currently 5 degrees out there and damp.

They will come in wetter than they went out because no doubt there is another shower around the corner!

Drizzle and dull here in Celbridge! Also very cold.

Screenshot of a video sent to me from near Macroom in NW Cork just now

Snowing heavily

Huge flakes in Glanmire...not sticking

Maybe you should take your church reference to the Christianity forum pal.
