Winter 2024/25 - General Discussion

Yes probably , that's the reason I made the most of it today, a great Vitamin D boost, there was even a bit of heat in the sun !

Phew, not so @Robwindstorm - a visit to family there. Do it all again Monday in the torrents of rain I see forecast. The spray off the motorway does be cat. Mid-term break for schools next week. Seems like a waste of time off in forecast. Ugh.

Not very often I complain about the weather but it's another grey, wet morning in coastal Wicklow. The kind of misty rain that doesn't show up on the radar but yet is enough to ruin any outdoor plans.

The first poster to complain that it's "too hot" when it's 25⁰ in the summer should get a lifetime ban : )

God almighty not looking great for midterm break next week, give us a break weather, al I want is it dry at this stage.

Another horrible dark, wet miserable morning in Dublin.

Spring like weather in February is fairly difficult to come by, what with it being joint coldest month (with January) of the year. Although spring officially begins on 1st March, I've found that first hint of warmth in the air is usually found closer to the spring equinox....ie, the last third of the month. Occasionally we get a bit of spring warmth before that but the combination of a low sun, cold ground and a (usually) cold atmosphere makes it difficult to achieve.

Having said that, I too am awaiting the first spring like warmth of the year.

Yes it's from Met.ie historical database. Filter out only the "0.0" hr days and do a query on periods with consecutive days.

Yesterday was another 0.0 hr day at Dublin Apt though the sun did very briefly appear at sunset, not enough to register a 0.1 so the sunless streak goes on making it now 7 days. That is the longest sunless streak here since January 1987.

Sunny Spells here in Kildare now making a big difference in the mood….

Miserable day out there in wexford

Those of ye in the east now know what those of us in Cork have to endure for most of the year. Horrific lack of sun and blue sky.

Dull, dreary, damp ,suicidal weather. Another week of this rubbish. I hope 2025 won't be as dull a yr as 2024 was.

Wet spell for the South

I thought I saw a chink of light this morning between the clouds, but maybe I'm being hysterical 🙂 The clouds are definitely higher and not so thick, and I can see planes taking off from Dublin Airport where I couldn't see them yesterday. At least it's calm

Fleeting like I said 😅
