Dear Met Éireann

CrazyRabbit

...where the **** is our summer?

It's June 7th but it's wet, overcast and miserable outside. I demand a decent summer!

Now, when I go the check the forecast for next week, it better be for glorious sunshine with 25c+ tempartures or I will not be happy. :mad:

I'm burnt to a crisp after the weekend, It's ireland you can't expect 25c every day.

They try to predict the weather. They dont control it

I think you'd be better off asking M.T.Cranium than met eireann

You'd probably have better luck asking God/Allah/Jehovah/Yore Ma than Met Eireann.

My ideal weather would be about 18 degrees during the day. It would rain at night for a couple of hours so there wouldn't be a drought.

My sister lives in Cyprus and the weather there gets unbearable during the summer. Just look at the forecast. They have water rationing there too so I'd take the Irish weather over that any day.

Met Eireann are a bunch of muppets...I was over in Poland last week and their forecast on Monday was as follows.
Mon- 26c, Tues 28c, Wed 29c Thurs 25c Fri 30c.
Thunder/Lightning storm was forecast for Wed night and as sure as god 7pm it lashed out of the heavens for about 2 hours and then cleared up...Thur/Fri were fab

So these guys can forecast 5 days out pretty accurately.
Yet..the morons in met eireann can't even predict one day out..knowing the way Ireland works these muppets probably all got their certs from FAS and these was probably the dunces that failed who were given the pass :rolleyes:

Aye. It can hang around 40-42C there the odd year. I'd hide in a cave meself.

Listowel races and Rihanna control the weather, and the appearance of either or both causes torrential rain to piss down with a vengeance.

Both should be eliminated.

29C here and gorgeous out today.

Yesterday morning was gorgeous

I'm sorry, Met Eireann do a good job considering the resources there given.

The good weather on thursday-friday last was predicted a good 6-7 days off and the proceeding wet weather on Sunday was also correctly predicted.


Those that say that Met Eireann are ****, really need to watch the weather and watch the outcomes. More often then not, they are right. Medium range forecasts are in fact provided by the European Centre for medium range forecasts and then are refined by Met Eireann using there own information.


That said weather predictions is a complex and not really an exact science that can be wrong sometimes

Coastal weather tends to be a lot harder to predict - and we are a tiny island beside a massive ocean. Poland is not!! That is why it they can predict their weather better.

But back on topic....I am sunburnt too - but I still want more sun dammit!!

Because of our position on the Atlantic edge of Europe the weather is very unpredictable, and totally unforeseeable events are quite common.
Poland is different and easier to forecast, it's not the forecasters it's the location.
I rely on an accurate forecast for my livelihood, and Met Éireann are as good as anyone can be for this location.

Yup and I'm sitting at my desk at work this morning exhausted because of a thunderstorm that woke me at four this morning and kept me awake thereafter.

It's a prediction not fact...

thesimpsons

theres a website based in Norway that gives a great weather prediction for Ireland. I've been following it for about a month now and its been a hell of a lot more accurate than Met Eireann

Yeah well maybe if the people at Met Eireann focused on predicting weather and not looking like prostitutes we'd have a more accurate account of things.

Or, it could be propaganda. The Government wants everyone to remain optimistic and is hoping good weather will lift people from their misery.

Or maybe it's a distracting tactic. The Government insist on telling everybody, via their lapdogs met Eireann, that the weather will be beautiful. There will be a 'heatwave.' When it doesn't transpire people get angry and forget about the banks etc.

Met Eireann are useless. I get my weather reports from the weather forum here and the met office in the UK.

gerbear1

It's been my last week in Barcelona and the weather has been shlt. Raining most days, cloudy everyday, was pretty typical Irish weather. It was sunny pretty much everyday for a couple of weeks before that, but I was still working during those days!

Edit: 2 minutes after posting this it just started pissing rain!

Terrified? Hell no - I love thunder and lightning, just not when it's shaking window frames when I'm trying to sleep.

this is met eireann

frosty in the morning maybe a bit of dew or fog in places leading into some sunshine and wintery showers widespread,high and low winds in all parts with temperatures from 5-25 degrees countrywide.

Lord Nikon

It was forecast to rain on Sunday, and by god it did.

starbelgrade

Weather predicting is a piece of piss - especially during the summer in Ireland.

All you gotta do is say, "some sunny spells with a chance of showers over much of Connacht, gradually moving eastwards over the country as the day progresses" and you can't go far wrong.
