Dark clouds and rain expected to clear in a year or two

Ireland’s meteorologists have given their forecasts and predictions for the coming months and unsurprisingly it’s not looking good.

After an extended period of terrible weather in recent weeks, things will remain terrible this week and will continue to be terrible for the foreseeable future.

Wet and windy weather for the rest of this month will give way to even wetter and windier weather next month.

The summer months will see several outbreaks of your foreign co-workers telling you how much nicer the weather is in their country while your Irish co-workers take offence and remind them that if they don’t like it here they’re free to feck off back home any time they want.

Looking even further ahead there will be no white Christmas in Ireland this year, just lots of wind and rain.

The first couple of months of next year look bleak and the following couple of months look even bleaker with lots of dark clouds, rain, wind, rain, storms, rain, scattered blustery showers, rain and some rain. It will remain cold throughout. Expect lots of rain.
