March cold and dry

 March has opened in a very cold fashion in Ireland with a lot of cold frosty nights. In fact there has been more frost in March than all of the rest of the Winter.

You may have noticed too that the grass and trees have gone brown too. This is a combination of the frost as well as storms of February.

Luckily the windy stormy weather for March didn't materialise and after a little rain on St Patrick's Day most of the rest of March should be dry with temperatures of 9c to 15c. Still some frosty nights though.

Storm Dudley and Eunice

 Wind speeds of 140kph likely this week. Northwest and Southwest most at risk.

Flooding and damage and power cuts are likely. More storms next week

Weather Forecast for June 2021 Ireland

 Well what a terribly cold May that was. Even colder than we predicted. The last few days of May will be pleasant 18 to 21c and the start of June looks set to continue this vein...for a while. 2021 is a year dominated by cold weather in Ireland.

After a warm first few days of June with thundery showers moving up from the South and temperatures in the early 20s the High Pressure weakens and is replaced by cooler unsettled weather again much like May. Probably not quite as cool but 14 to 17 or 18c around most days.

Rainfall will be above normal for the month. Temperatures around average in the West and below average in the East. Sunshine average as much rain will be heavy showers.

Late June might see a warming trend and more sunshine than rain.
