Make up your mind!

HEY! WEATHER! Make up your mind!

Dublin (and much of the country) had been subjected to four seasons in one day today, and we’re mad as hell and we’re NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Well, that’s not necessarily true.

We’re going to continue to faff around with inadequate raincoats, rubbish umbrellas, jumpers that are too hot, shorts that are too cold, and skin that shrieks at the sight of sun for the forseeable future.

Mostly though, we’ll just be roasting and soaking all at the same time. It’s the Irish way.

Today, we’ve really been tested…

. @MetEireann it's been scorching, pissing, sunny, cloudy, calm and windy within the last hour in Dublin. Sort it out please.
