Good article in the Irish Times Magazine today about the changes over the years at Met Eireann.

WEATHER: It’s a topic of daily conversation and for some it’s a matter of life and death. Rosita Boland asks some of the top meteorologists in the country – at Met Éireann’s Glasnevin HQ and Valentia station – about the inexact science of forecasting the weather.

enjoyed the Mark Twain quote too as well as the bit about the wedding party asking for the weather forecast for their wedding day in 18 month's time!
