March very mild so far

As in keeping with 2017 so far in Ireland March has turned out to be a very mild month and temperatures up to halfway through the month are running at 1.5c above normal with a National average of 7.5c. This value looks like being more or less maintained until the end of the month though there is a possibility of some snow on March 21st 2017. Temperatures for most of the rest of March will be into double figures of 10 to 13c and sometimes up to 16c bringing an average of 10c but on other occasions it will be 8c by day and only 3c by night and this will mean an average of 6c meaning that March is going to end around 8c as a national average temperature. There is a low risk that the temperature could even reach 20c by the end of March but we will watch this space.
