It looks like the month of March is going to be dominated by High Pressure in 2011 with just a little rain or drizzle along the Atlantic coasts at times. Temperatures are going to vary and the first third and possibly the last third of the month of March will perhaps be when the best weather is going to occur. Temperatures could reach above the mid teens at times and may even get to 18 or 19c later in the month as the warming trend for the year 2011 continues.

As for the month of april it does look as though the showery and wet weather will make a reappearance but it still looks mild or even warm as the jetstream stays well to the North of Ireland. Temperatures in April could touch the 20c mark. Will the frosts be gone by now? The nights will still be chilly or near 0c but subzero values will be less widespread at this late stage in Ireland.
May looks like the wettest month of the Spring of 2011 in Ireland.Temperatures may not even get as high as they had done in April. It is still a long way off though and a lot can change. It is hard to pick patterns with the weather and even though the planet is currently in a warming phase each year brings with it entirely different weather and the only consistency is that hot spells are getting hotter, cold spells colder and wet spells wetter.
