YET AGAIN, THE weather gods appear not to have heard our requests for a bit of fine weather at the weekend.
As in recent weeks – the best weather hits us bang in the middle of the working week.
According to Met Éireann:
This morning any mist or fog will soon clear and it will be another dry and mostly sunny day. Top temperatures will be 14 to 20 degrees, warmest away from exposed coasts. Easterly winds will be mostly light but increase moderate in the afternoon and fresh along southern coasts.
Tomorrow will be mostly dry with some bright or sunny spells, but cloud will increase. It will hit up to 18 in some areas all the same.
On Friday, it will be cloudy and showery – but still mild enough.
But the weekend, yet again, isn’t looking good.
Case in point:
During Saturday showery rain will move down from the north and clear southeastwards later in a light to moderate northerly breeze.
Not to mention:
It will be cold on Sunday with sunny spells and scattered showers which could turn heavy and with the risk of hail or thunder.
And while we’re at it:
The early days of next week will continue unsettled and cold with scattered showers.
Let’s enjoy the sun while we have it…

I predict this latest wave of good weather will last forever.
I predict a riot
I’m off until Friday so will enjoy the rest of the good weather aaaaaannnnddd then I’m off to the Canaries next week.
Just saying ;)
I saw a woman walk her kids to school in shorts this morning so it must be warm !!
It ain’t that warm….it is still April after all. I cringe at people going around in sleeveless shirts and shorts….carried away springs to mind.
I saw a woman drive her child the 60 second journey to school in her Range Rover. She had huge sunglasses covering most of her face so it really must be sunny.
You don’t see too many Range Rover stay at home mammys theses days! They used to take over the place outside schools.
Typical.. I’m in a cyclone in Australia and the rest of ye have your socks and sandals on! Typical!
Ah don’t begrudge us Darren, sunshine makes headlines cos it’s rare. Off to put my knee white socks and sandals on!
Cyclone? Really? It’s a bit of wind and rain where I am.
Sorry! *Declan I meant
Roll on the rain! I’m bollixed with hayfever
Go live in Alaska
I’ll see those blasted glorious rays of sunshine from above my office cubical partition.
Lol hate to be “in” a cyclone
Typical exam weather! It’s interfering with my study. Stuck in the smelly library looking out at the blue sky :(
Could ye not just let us enjoy things as they are and not spoil the moment by not giving us the bad news too? Sheesh!
Out beautiful weather is not caused by God’s.
have your say
