    Looking at the RTE forecast last night (Wednesday April 19th) one could be forgiven for making sandbags for the front and back doors ahead of what was promised a very wet day over southern Ireland. In fact, the rarely used black cloud was rolled out for the chart and was very much plastered over most areas south of the N6.

    Whoaaay! Sunshine galore and clear blue skies for the lunchtime period after a cloudy start... hmmm, I should have been filling bags with bottles of suncream not sand...

    Now come on Met Eireann... that was the worst forecast I have ever seen. :(:(

    lol you better believe it. I was watching Sky News Dublin at six o clock which went alot like this

    "Its been an extremely wet and miserable day across many parts of Ireland today with more heavy rain to follow the weekend"

    I was blinded by the sun and spent most of the day in my back garden with a book, skipping college cause the weather was so good.
