974.87 here.
It's funny isn't it.. the temperature is forecast to rise through the night/early morn, but then drop around 9am, making it colder during the day, than tonight.
I thought I was on a winner watching the temperature go down, but it's on it's way back up again! A very strange weather day - gales, crazy pressure drops, snow, torrents of rain, all of those reports in a single region.
I think the term 'milder' is probably overdoing it slightly. I would say less cold, but even down here, it looks to be around average by day for this coming week. If you compare that to the same week last year, i'm looking at 5 or 6 degrees lower than that. I suspect a few degrees lower up North. Nothing to really complain about if you don't want mild weather.
Lot's of time yet. The back edge just leaving Ireland is turning to sleet & snow as the colder air begins to wrap around. It'll carry on doing this for the rest of the day.
I know what I was going to say... I told @matt111 that the winds should literally go from nothing, to gales in pretty much an instant. That's exactly what happened this morning.
4mph to 34, then 40mph within minutes.
