According to Met Éireann, Ireland is warmer and wetter than ever before with average temperatures rising over half a degree in the past 50 years.
Met Éireann’s long-term weather recordings have recently revealed some fairly interesting facts about our little green nation and it looks like things have been slowly heating up for the past half century.
We’ve also experienced a five per cent increase in rainfall over the same period, so Ireland is getting hotter and wetter… Giggity.
However, that glorious warm weather will be missing the mark this bank holiday weekend as forecasts predict scattered sunny spells for some of the country on Saturday while the rest of us will experience dark overcast clouds.
As for this coming Sunday and Monday, you better get the brolly out.
May was a bit of a strange month in Ireland as temperatures ranged from a nippy -3.6C on May 6 to a sweltering 27.8C on May 25. So you can see why we’re reporting that there will be great weather one minute and sh*te weather the next. You simply just don’t know what’s going to happen.
And if you’re looking forward to a warm sunny June, don’t, as forecasters are expecting a “mixed and unsettled month”.
But then again, anything could happen.
