A bright and cloudless start to March with a sharp ground frost. Minimum temperature was 0.1C at 07:19; but it’s starting to warm up now and the current temperature is 1.0C, rising at 0.2C/hour. The barometer has risen a little on yesterday and now reads 1036.5mb, up 0.29mb in the last hour. Winds are calm. High pressure may bring a change to dryer conditions; but at this time of year the clear skies mean a return to overnight frosts. It’s currently -0.1C, down 0.9C in the last hour and just up from the minimum of -0.4C just a few minutes ago. The barometer reads 1031.2mb, rising at 0.24mb/hour. Winds are calm. The high pressure is currently over Scandinavia and is forecast to move westwards over Ireland mid-week before drifting east over Scandinavia again by the weekend. All in all the week should remain dry and calm.
A good few showers around this afternoon. In Cork and this band over the northeast of the city. With the polls about to open in just over half an hour it’s been a wet start to the day already with 0.07″ (17.78mm) of rain delivered since 03:00. We’re in a brief respite at the moment but there’s another belt parked just west of us so it’ll still be raining further down the coast and that should arrive here shortly. Temperatures are a mild 13.2C, up 0.2C/hour whilst winds are a light to gentle westerly breeze. The barometer reads 1015.0mb, up 0.5mb in the last hour. A mainly overcast day, though we did see a glimpse of the sun this morning, with plenty of drizzle around lunchtime and in the early afternoon. Not much accumulation though – just 0.01″ (0.25mm). It’s still fairly mild at 11.8C, down 0.2C in the last hour, with the barometer steady at 1016.2mb. Winds are a light to gentle west to southwesterly breeze. Heavier rain is predicted to be well into the west by 06:00 tomorrow and will move through during the morning and cleared by evening though there may still be some showers behind it. The weekend is likely to start wet; but high pressure should build from Sunday onwards and the first half of next week looks a lot more settled. It’s continued mild overnight with a minimum temperature of 10.1C at 05:38 and currently it’s 10.8C, up 0.1C in the last hour. The barometer is rising slowly, current reading is 1014.8mb, rising at 0.32mb/hour. Winds are a light air to a light westerly breeze. Conditions are dry at present; but may turn soft this afternoon as light rain or drizzle develops over parts of Munster. This will ease off before heavier rain arrives tomorrow morning. Mildest day so far this year with a maximum temperature just short of 15C at 14.8C. Some rain this morning too to give a total of 0.30″ (7.62mm) total for the day. It’s still quite mild at 12.7C and just edging down at 0.2C/hour. The barometer is steady at 1010.1mb and winds are a light westerly breeze. There’s still a couple of showers around in West Cork and more light rain is expected overnight and into tomorrow clearing somewhat by the evening. Thursday should be drier; but more rain is expected around dawn on Friday, heavy at times. With the temperature steady at 11.1C the first signs of rain are heading for the Kerry coast. It’s still a couple of hours away though. The barometer has been falling for the last couple of hours and now reads 1003.7mb, falling at 0.37mb/hour. Winds are a gentle westerly breeze. This morning’s fog cleared to give some sunshine during the morning; but clouding over during the afternoon. It remained dry with a maximum temperature of 13.1C at 12:32. The temperature is now fluctuating between 10.9C and 11.1C. The barometer is steady at 1005.2mb whilst winds are a light to gentle west-southwesterly breeze. Tomorrow should see rain spreading into the west of the county in the early hours before moving westwards during the morning clearing to showers late in the day. |
