Spring 2024 - General Discussion

yes, there’s nothing like a fine August which unfortunately are quite rare but 2022 will live long in my memory, we’ve only had two really good Augusts this century the other one being 2003 so as I’ve said quite rare.

Fingers crossed 🤞 we have Warmer weather for longer 😀 at least it will be a nice June Bank Holiday weekend, won't be as warm as last year but plesent anyway

Looks like May will be another poor month; I would've considered it to be okay up to last week. For Dublin Airport, it'll finish much cloudier than average. The sunniest day of the month so far had 12.5 hours, which is the lowest amount for the sunniest day in May since 2003, though tomorrow might do a very last minute rescue. Despite being a good deal drier than average, it'll be close to average in terms of rain days. The fact that people loved this May just tells you how poor the previous months were more than anything.

in my location now it’s 11 degrees and cloudy ground is wet. Really not feeling this as a good month at all. As Artane said the bar is so low

The old classic set up, the green finger of slime dripping down from the north and ending up exclusively over ireland in ever scenario. gas. Anyone hoping for a repeat of last june is going to be very disapointed, setting itself up now for some serious classic irish summer pig trash. A maxiumum of 12 at the start of summer in a cool pig flow from the northwest.

To add to that, the first 5 months of 2024 set to be the cloudiest since 1996 at DA including 4 consecutive cloudier than average months from February to May. February to May 2023 were also cloudier than average - May 2023 very slightly albeit that it was basically average. Have to go back to June to September 2016 for the last time there's been 4 consecutive significantly cloudier than average months here.

Still raining away on and off despite Met Eireann app saying it would stop at 9am this morning. Guess it will be tomorrow's 16c before the 8c next week.

Well ME have got that forecast completely wrong for today

Strong NNW wind with regular heavy showers

I was actually also wondering where 2024 ranks in the list of dullest springs on record at Dublin Airport? Of course, that could change by tomorrow but interesting all the same.

Brrrr I couldn't believe how cold I felt today, strong breeze and 13 degrees in mid Kerry and we're almost into June. Global warming it ain't

Our weather this time last year, came up on Facebook memories, such a difference compared to this year

Snap, I thought the exact same. Went off to work in my summer dress ( at least it was a long one) jaysus when I stepped outside at lunchtime the wind chill was unreal!

It didn't get any better this evening, even the 2 year old who loves the garden in evening said its too windy mammy and came back in!

Beautiful morning. Some high level cirrus clouds, warm, althought temp is "only" 14c. N Kildare

Looks like a cloudy weekend ahead for most. Up until yesterday it was showing sunny spells for much of the weekend and temperatures up to 19 degrees in Wicklow, now looking dull with temps around 16 degrees. Very disappointing for the June bank holiday weekend.
