Evelyn Cusack: 25 Years of Weather: 1984 to 2009

Deep Easterly

Came across this interesting article by Evelyn Cusack on the "Morning Ireland" website in which she discusses the weather in Ireland over the last 25 years from 1984 to the present year.

She also gives a run down on the effects of Climate Change, globally and in Ireland, over the last 100 years or so.

Abstract:

"[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A rise of several degrees is likely by the end of this century if emissions continue unabated. However, the natural variability of our north Atlantic climate occurs on timescales ranging from the inter-annual to the multi-decadal and is responsible, for example, for the fact that the two warmest years in Ireland over the last 100 years occurred, not in the recent decades of pronounced man-made global warming, but in 1945 and 1949."[/FONT]

Amazing, considering that harsh winter of 1947 came slap bang in the middle.

Yes I read that article. It was quite interesting. 1995 was truly an exceptional August!
