Met Error had it wrong 5 days in a row now

Hammered hippie

The last week the weatherforcast for the west of Ireland (galway) was a carbon copy of the actual weather in Dublin.
It rained a lot in the east/sout east...so for the west it was also predicted to rain. It was actually blazing sunny until yesterday...how wrong can you be?
For today the weahter forecast for Galway was... long warm sunny intervals with hardly any wind. No rain
The weather turned out to be heavy cloud, fresh wind (Bf 4-5), drizzle, cool and no sun
So they had it completely wrong , every aspect of it.
Obviously the prediction for Galway turned out to be what the weather now turns out to be in Dublin.
Now I ask you...how do they get away with it!...raking in the tax money from all of Ireland and not doing one proper thing for the people in the west...Honestly!

At the moment forecasting seems limited in range to tomorrow :P

To be honest,weather is not *that exact* a science.
It doesn't go down to your post code [if we had post codes].

It may not have rained much in Galway City but you can be pretty sure it rained a lot in other parts of the west.

The showers were in trains you see,they developed inland away from coasts but 20 miles inland of the Atlantic is still the west.
The train of showers moved slowly in pulses along that line [like a train] mainly SW to NE and that train or band moved East slowly.
So if you were under a train,it was raining all day whereas just to the west or East of the train,it would have been a lot dryer.

It's practical astrology.
