Joan of Contention 😷The greatest words in Irish weather forecasting:
AZORES HIGH!
🥳
According to some guy on the radio, today - Tuesday, 3 March - is the first day in 2026 that there's no rain anywhere across the island of Ireland.
And yes, that is bizarre weather for us all.
Go get your vitamin D.

"The rain will clear, followed by showers."
A classic in the Ireland weather forecast genre from Met Éireann this morning.
🌧️☔️
"Met Éireann’s extended range forecast is for unsettled conditions to persist until 8 March."
Stupid crap misogynistic weather.. 😒

Proper #sneachta over in Hull now, lads. 🥶
As mentioned in a DM just now.. JMJ I cannot be dealing with all this rain!!
🌧️😩
I've just heard a Met Éireann forecast that mentioned "transient snow."
"Transient snow."
"Transient snow"..!?
wtf
🌨️☃️
Most news media orgs in Ireland are running *live blogs about the weather*, and the government's National Emergency Coordination Group has issued a statement calling on people to work from home where possible..
- in case anyone outside the country is wondering just how much rain we're getting here.

I've been out of the loop on here for a bit, but can I assume the current Irish weather hashtag is #WhatTheFliuch?

@Padjo Can confirm from Dubland, those forecasts were extremely accurate!
