Weather Shite Again

After several days of sweltering heat and glorious sunshine, the weather is suddenly shite again with overcast skies and heavy rain showers in much of the country.

The change in conditions has left many people wondering if that’s the end of the good weather for this year. So what can we expect in the coming weeks? We asked Conor Colgan from Met Eireann what kind of weather we have in store for the rest of the summer.

“Mainly shite weather.” he told us. “That sunshine and 30 degree heat on Monday was a freak accident and might not happen again for another hundred years. We often hear people in this country saying they wouldn’t bother going abroad on holidays if we had sunny weather in Ireland. Well get booking those flights folks because normal service has resumed.”

Does Conor think we’ll have a good summer next year?

“No I don’t. That grey sky you see today is what you’ll be looking up at for 99% of the rest of your life. If you get a good sunny day next year get out and enjoy it because when you step outside the following day you’ll be getting drenched in a torrential downpour. This is Ireland, not the Canary Islands. You’ve got two options. Just accept it and stop moaning or emigrate.”
