All Us Irish Are Capable Of Handling is . . .

. . . The rain. Our old familiar friend the rain.

I think that the extreme weather conditions so far this month between extreme cold and extreme winds, and that one day in July that we usually get extreme heat Further proves to us that climate change is real!!
I hope that for anyone who reads this that you have stayed safe and out of harms way of the storm whatever part of the country you may be in this evening. I can tell you that there are trampolines, trees, and bits of stone walls currently flying all over the place in the Wesht here.

However this did give me a bit of a giggle this evening, it’s been reported in the news that a fully booked flight from Manchester to Dublin Had to turn back from Dublin to the UK as the winds were too high here.

However on returning to the UK, the pilots were told the same thing there, and so they end up having to land in Paris.

Can you imagine getting on a plane in Manchester, expecting to get off in Dublin, and you somehow find yourself in Charles de Gaulle, I’ll because there was a bit of drying out!!!!

That's ridiculous, what a waste of petrol.

I can't stand the weather in Ireland, we only get a couple nice days in the summer every year, that's it.

Can yi imagine, coming back from a boozy weekend, fall asleep on the plane and wake up in paris

I was out driving this evening, pretty poor visibility. Id imagine it was much worse over in the west.

Looks to have mostly calmed around here now, or a least i cant hear the wind howling anymore.

Agree! Our summer typically falls on the 15th, 16th and if we are lucky 17th July each year!!

Robbie, your post made me laugh, wasting the petrol ha ha I’m trying to think of a non-condescending way to say this and I certainly don’t mean to be condescending, I think you are a sweetheart, but plane don’t use petrol like that we put into our cars, now I’m far from an expert but I am qualified in watching reruns of ‘air crash investigation’ so hence I consider myself an expert in this field (of course I’m joking people!!!)

Tv has Taught me that planes run on aviation fuel which is made up of kerosene.

Tv has also taught me that since Putin kicked off his shenanigans the cost of aviation fuel has absolutely skyrocketed!!!
