Rest of March Dry

March will see little or no rain for the remainder of the month as High Pressure takes hold over Ireland. With temperatures rising too the water levels will be quite low. Temperatures are expected to get up to 18c in the West of Ireland while the East will be a cooler 12 or 13c due to an onshore breeze. Further into the month High pressure still remains dominant but the temperatures will drop back to between 9 and 13c.

2012 has been mild mild mild

What a mild month and year it has been so far in Ireland. The weather is very gloomy though isnt it and there hasnt been a lot of sun at all in some Atlantic areas with just cloudy misty days. Over St Patricks weekend there will be a little more variety in the weather with some cooler and unsettled weather coming in but this will bring more in the way of rain or showers of course. 


Temperatures for 2012 are nearly 2c above normal for the country as a whole despite the fact that many parts of Europe had such a cold February, Ireland largely escaped this and saw a lot of mild weather. The weekend will see one or two frosts but as the month of March goes on it looks like the weather will get mild and stay that way for most of the rest of the month.

Mild March

Cloudy but mild March

March has turned out to be very mild hasnt it? In fact most of 2012 has been mild in Ireland apart from one or two very brief cold spells and you could count on two hands the number of severe frosts that we have experienced. The weather is set to get cool for the Saint Patricks Day festivities but after that the Southwesterlies will return again with their mild weather and this time temperatures could climb up to 17 or 18c. This all depends on the amounts of sunshine and as we have seen so far in 2012 this has been scarce.
