Temperatures April 23 🌡

I’ve been concerned about climate change for many years. When I left my job on the oil rigs, back in 1993, I enrolled for the Open University, and one of the first modules I took was “renewable energy”

This year, 2023 has so far, April, felt much colder than the previous six years I’ve been here in Ireland, and I started searching for comparisons. It seems there wasn’t a great deal of variation, perhaps a degree or so centigrade. However the extremes were more pronounce, especially the extreme cold snap at the end of 2022.

I was keen to get Blue Tooth thermometers to automate logging the temperatures in the poly tunnels and the new grow room, and got one for outside as well.

April 23 temperatures at Clounsnaghta:

  • Average – 9.31℃
  • Max – 18.75℃
  • Min – 0.44℃

The historical average for Ireland from the World Bank show temperatures just below those I recorded here at Clounsnaghta.

Other sources I used:
