I am always amused by Irish people being surprised that it’s always raining. I’ve lived here for 20+ years and it’s been raining the whole time.
I remember that one summer when it rained every day for about 60 days.
Yes it does seem like less rain than usual alright
sure lookit, be grand like
It’s spring, the rain is getting warmer!
Ah tap into that and you’ll see chance of rain only for a few hours and those are bettable %s!
I blame the government
They used to say if you can see the hills, it’s going to rain, if you can’t see the hills, it’s already raining
Grand soft day out
All are relatively low. It won’t rain all the time. Some places are better in the rain.
Big problems if it doesn’t dry soon.
Fields are saturated and the season is not that long to get crops planted and harvested.
If you thought food was expensive now just wait til you see the price of it in 4 months time
So it has been an unusually wet period. Farmers have been saying they’ll need assistance because it’s causing them so many issues.
Seems like a normal Spring in Ireland?
I believe it’s called our “temperate climate” 😂
Global waffle
You’d swear we were living in Ireland or somewhere mad like that!
A 35% chance of rain is a positive thing considering the last year.
Also, if this works the same as AccuWeather it doesn’t tell you anything about **how** rainy it will be.
You need to click in and see the expected rainfall in mm. A 50% chance with 1mm expected is a pretty decent day all things considered
I’m not sure if it’s recency bias, but I can never remember such a consistent stretch of “grey” weather. Like not even rain, just grey and overcast. It feels like every day since before Christmas has been dull (aside from paddys day).

It’ll be grand.
I come from North Kerry where it rains 240 days a year. I now live in southern England where the weather is actually pretty nice on average.
It’s torrentially rained here non stop for weeks and it’s really killing my buzz but reminding me of home which I guess is nice?
Not trying to be too optimistic but those days when it says 35% chance of rain there’s 65% change it won’t rain so maybe not too bad an outlook.
