Welcome to Ireland, where you can meet a million different personalities in one day even if the only person that you’ve met is the weather.

Despite living here all our lives, Irish people are famously unable to come to terms with the reality of our climate and never fail to be surprised when a roaring hot sun disappears behind a raincloud that definitely wasn’t there ten minutes ago… And that’s when the hailstones get you.

This one picture from a weather report this weekend hits the nail on the unexpectedly-wet head.

Sunburn. Hailstones. Thunderstorms.
