| Unsettled outlook for May |
It not looking great for May this year either with a lot of cool and unsettled weather on the way for Ireland for much of the month. Perhaps only at the end will we see anything resembling Summer-like weather. Temperatures will be disappointing too and will be in the mid-teens at best, possibly a little higher towards the end of the month.
As regards rainfall perhaps the East is going to start off with the high rainfall amounts but after the first few days all parts will get some rain from time to time and later on the North and West will get their fair share too. The weather has been a lot drier in the North and West of Ireland in recent weeks than it was during the Winter but the temperatures are 2c below what they should be at for the time of year.
Sunshine for May will start off above normal too but will probably fall off as the month goes on and low pressures visit our shores once more. Will it be as windy as the tree burning May of 2011, well it does not look like wind will be a major issue this year so that's perhaps the one good thing.
Not a very cheerful pictures folks so perhaps if you are booking a holiday to Ireland this Summer I would suggest maybe giving June a look instead.
