Lads, in all fairness, isn't it shocking!
tis a soft day, thank god;)
Nah its a bit chilly but its December ffs!!! 'Least its not raining!!!
Jaysis,you'd think in this country we'd be well used to the weather by now.
That said the original poster is from Cork, and honestly, from living there, I think I've found the only place in the world where it rains more than it does in Limerick City, and yes I'm including the Amazon Jungle
let it snow let it snow let it snow
Ah sure dublin has the much drier weather than here down south...That said the sun is now out...but its fricken freezingQuote:

Did a bit of research on this a few years ago and actually the difference between the south and east is pretty minimal. Big difference between west and east though.Quote:

Using Cork Airport however is a different story. Completely unfair to compare a synoptic station a few hundred feeth above sea level and a synoptic station at sea level. Obvious differences in rain fall, percipitation generally (including fog) and especially temperature.
A synoptic station in Cloyne (East Cork) consistantly comes out as having the highest temps, sunniest days and less rainfall.
A few years ago Met Eireann used to do a map of temp and rainfall averages across Ireland using all the weather stations in the country including the smaller ones and it is amazing how localised weather in Ireland can be. A big difference between Roches Point a few miles across the harbour and Cork Airport

Mayo would have the dullest, most miserable weather in the country!!:( Anyone agree or disagree?? Even the weather in England during the summer makes me jealous.:(
