M.T. Cranium

So very Sorry to hear. You have been an incredible addition to the community here and we will all miss you very much. I feel like I've known you in some way for the past 17 or so years of my life. Heart broken and Deepest sympathies to Family and Friends. Love You Peter ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

RIP MT. For years you provided us updates and kept it real.

You be sadly missed and condolences to your family :(

R.I.P M.T.

What can any of us say. Very very sad to read this news, M.T. Cranium has been an absolute pillar of the Irish weather community for years, personally taught me and I'm sure taught many others so much about teleconnections and the theory behind them. His regular forecast threads were always eagerly awaited and his insights into everything weather and climate related will be sorely, sorely missed.

Travel well, good sir ❤

I’m honestly so sad to hear this. I joined this forum back in November 2010 after coming across one of M.T. Cranium’s forecasts while searching online for weather info. He was talking about the potential for big snow, and I remember being so excited I genuinely didn’t even know places like this existed at the time. It completely blew my mind! I went straight into the thread and saw all these snow posts from other like-minded people, along with M.T.’s detailed knowledge. From that day on, I followed his forecasts and always kept an eye out for his updates and warnings.

Over the years, he became my go-to for anything weather related. When the Beast from the East hit, I actually printed out his forecast and brought it into a team meeting at work. We ended up shutting the business for a few days based on what we jokingly called “the bible.” That’s how much we believed in what he said. Even my family would ask, “What does M.T. think about the upcoming storm?” I’ve actually just come back from a snow holiday (after the manky winter we had!) and only saw this news when I got home, which feels someway fitting considering how much he sparked my interest in winter weather over the years..

I’m grateful for the time and effort he put into sharing his knowledge with all of us. He made a real difference here and will be very much missed. R.I.P. and thank you.

I just wanted to add my condolences to the family and friends of M.T. Cranium.

Like so many others in Ireland, his forecasts became part of my daily routine. During the winter months especially, I checked his updates religiously, always hoping to see signs of “white gold” on the horizon. But it wasn’t just the forecasts themselves, it was the clarity, the calm tone, and the obvious passion he had for sharing his knowledge with the community.

What stood out most was the generosity of it all. Day after day he gave his time freely, helping thousands of people understand what the weather might bring. For many of us, his posts were the first thing we looked for in the morning.

It’s rare that someone on an online forum becomes such a trusted and familiar presence in people’s lives, but he truly did. Ireland has lost a wonderful voice in the weather community, and he will be sorely missed.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
May he rest in peace, and thank you for sharing him with all of us.

Genuinely stunned, as I haven't been on Boards since last week for various reasons, and I would always go straight to M.T's forecasts just to see if this never ending rain is ever going to stop, will we get snow, or if there's any chance of a good spell during the Summer, so to see that MT had passed was devastating for all of us who checked first thing every day for his wonderful forecasts. Nothing I can say will add to the wonderful and genuine tributes on here already, but for those of who checked his forecasts on a regular basis, nothing will ever be the same again, and a small tiny bit of our lives is gone forever. Rest in peace you absolute legend, and sincerest sympathies to his wife, daughter and family.

His posts were the only reason I visited boards.ie for several years now. I will miss him. RIP

I woke up this morning to the news that M.T had passed away. To be honest my heart is broken. I've been following M.Ts forecasts for about 18 years and I have to say my mornings feel so empty now that there is no weather forecast from what I honestly belive the legend that was Peter.

His knowledge knew no bounds and to show how much a gentleman he was he took time out of his busy schedule to produce an accurate forecast for our little island. No big dramatic headlines just a forecast you could rely on on a daily basis. I would have bet my house on Peter's forecasts over the years. This little corner of boards will sadly miss your enthusiasm for your profession. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will always be part of the boards community and will always be in our thoughts. Finally I would like to pass on my sincere condolences to Peter's wife and family.

Condolences Sheila to you and your daughter. Your loss is shared by all of us on the boards.

MT's post was the first thing I read every morning. As everyone has said, he was a legend. His forecasting was invaluable and always reliable.

Semper Desideradi MT.
