February saw storms rage across Ireland, with rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunder and lightning all being seen at one stage or another for the first days of Spring.
Many will be hopeful of a more settled March, with maybe even the possibility of putting away the winter jacket!
Luckily, we have a fair idea of how things are shaping up thanks to the national forecaster.
Met Eireann provide a forecast as far as four weeks in advance, though this is subject to change.
Here's the current outlook on the first day of the month.
Week One - March 4 to March 10
Starting on Friday, we'll see a "transitory signal" - meaning that high pressure will dominate in the east but low pressure starting to enter from the west.
The Met Éireann forecast at the moment reads: "Likely the start of the period will be more settled before high pressure give way to a more Atlantic regime. Overall, temperatures will be around average for the time of year but slightly milder along eastern and southern coastal counties.
"The more unsettled conditions will bring above average precipitation over much of the country, especially in the south and southwest. Parts of the north might see below average precipitation amounts. There is the potential for hazards due to rainfall and wind as the more unsettled conditions take hold."
Week Two - March 11 to March 17
Week two brings in St Patrick's Day and the 'double Bank Holiday' but there is bad news for anyone looking for a sunny celebration of our national holiday.
Things will be "unsettled for week two."
"Milder and wetter than average conditions are forecasted for the whole country. There is an increased risk of hazardous conditions due to wind and rainfall compared to week one" the forecast reads.
Week Three - March 18 to March 24
As we head towards April Fools' Day, Ireland will see "milder than average" conditions.
However, Met Eireann warn that "precipitation amounts will likely be higher than normal for much of the country with the exception of parts of the north and east, however, there is no strong signal to be significantly above average. Hazardous conditions are less likely than in week two, with the greatest risk in the early part of the week."
Week Four - March 25 to March 31
The forecast concludes: "For week four , there are tentative signals for much more settled conditions with high pressure from the east continuing to build up over the country. Mild than average conditions are expected for much of the country with normal or below normal precipitation amounts with the exception of the far northwest where some weak fronts may encroach at times."
