Weather Special on RTE Radio 1 Today

Lumi

There's an hour long Weather Special on the John Murray Show, RTE Radio 1 from 9AM today featuring Evelyn Cusack, Klara Finkele, Michael Fish from the BBC and the Irish Weather Network


Should be well worth a listen....

Good craic so far.Important point bout the ocean being key in long range forecasting.

Yea, thought Evelyn's comment about "there will be SOME showers today" as opposed to Klara's Germanic preciseness of "there WILL be showers today" quite funny. Didn't think Evelyn had it in her!!!! I dread Evelyn giving the forecast cause sure as hell, it will RAIN RAIN RAIN..........

Evelyn - 'There's a risk of a good day next Tuesday'....giggle giggle.

I'd say she'd be a great laugh to go for a pint with.

Good programme.

What a brilliant programme Highly entertaining and great that they included Karl from the IWN alongside the professionals.

Its nice to see the work of amateur weather observers being recognised

Apparently there is alot of history there Ian and a wrestling match might be more fitting. :D

I agree Karl is a legend and i have had the pleasure of chasing storms with him. His weather knowledge is astounding.

We haven't had a nailed on supersetup for convective weather this year which is extremely dissapointing. We chased together last year and i managed to capture a great funnel over roundwood.
I have been reading many weather manuals over the years but Karl explains convective setups far better than any manual.
If the thoughts of discussing DALR, SALR, Conv inhibition, Skew-t, wind shear etc takes your fancy then he's the man to talk to. Sure Mr Hanrahan will vouch for that.

Here's one cell we chased to give you a taster.





Here's another we watched grow from a little fluffy cloud

A great show, well worth listening to it in it's entirety.
