8 times the Irish weather was determined to humiliate you

Irish weather = Regina George.

AFTER TAKING A battering last night, the country is in for even more high winds tonight, with gusts predicted to reach 110km/h at times.

In case you needed reminding, the weather in Ireland is not your friend. It doesn’t care for your notions, and it will actively try to thwart you at every turn. Remember?

When it refused to give a damn about your good hair day

When it laughed in the face of your ill-equipped wardrobe

Dainty top? Good suit? Nice try.

What you actually needed to wear was a wax jacket and waders. (Or a swimsuit. Anything can happen.)

When it made you realise how much you could sweat

Listen, it doesn’t matter whether the sun is actually shining.

As most people know, it can be windy, rainy, and 12 degrees, all at the same time – you’ll still arrive at work a sweaty mess.

When it conspired to ruin all your plans

Wedding? Rained on. Birthday night out? Gale force winds.
