Stop lying and treating people as if they are thick.

That picture is not from Ireland.

Put a link to where you got it from and it will be proven.

Thanks for the interest Myles. Do you know that Camp Sites along the Wild Atlantic Way were charging €30 per day/night this summer - To Pitch a Tent!! That's equal to €210 per week, X 10 = €2100 for 10 weeks, X 5 = €10,500 for 50 weeks or to round it all up, works out at €11,000 a year to pitch ones tent in a field in the pissing cold rain of the Brutal Atlantic Trough.
That is not a lie.

P.s. People treat themselves as Thick - They don't accept any help from me!

We don't have timber houses like that here.

We do, this next selection is more of the type you saw in the original image i posted.
More to your liking, suits you Sir!

Your picture was from north America. You used it erroneously to indicate Climate change in Ireland.

Just admit it.

Just admit it.

That first picture was just picked from the search images menu, it could be anywhere including Ireland, the torrents of rain looked like what I see outside my windows here on the NW coastal area.

Such is the level of wetness and rain around the locality here that i think it's worth trying to take some local vids, I saw fields flooded, footpaths submerged, river at record heights today - it's no big deal but I'm curious to see does it become a regular feature in the next few months or do things revert back to the normality as expected.

it's not climate change I'm focusing on so can't admit errors not made, but I do admit to being intrigued by what could be possibly 'Weather Change' a phenomenon perhaps more destructive than CC if really true!

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

It could be anywhere including Ireland.

That's definitely not Ireland. 100% guaranteed.

 

[Professor]

That's definitely not Ireland. 100% guaranteed.

What guarantee? What's the difference between Mississippi rain and Irish rain, how can you tell the difference so as to validate a guarantee to any percentage? From looking at a Photo?
Maybe it's Canadian or Finnish rain?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Its the house and to a lesser extent the trees behind it. There's no such houses here.

Put up the link where you got the photo and you'll find it to almost certainly be in north America. There's a slim chance of Scandinavia.

Irish rain is wetter, I’d swear it is!

 

[Professor]

Irish rain is wetter, I’d swear it is!

It sort of is wetter . . . the constant daily soakings which may simply be a few times during the short dim(no sun) days are enough to keep the environment drenched in cold moisture.
Check the weather sites? The atmosphere is constantly at 90%-100% humidity!! but it's not hot, it's cold winter soaking wet, freezing fog, mist and drizzle until along comes another "Storm" and drowns the land again 8-9 months of the year.

Of course it depends where one is located, there are micro climates in different regions which get contrary weather but where I'm at on the west coast - It's soaking 85% of the time!

It's awful, I wanted to go out for a stroll tonight but it's just too fecking wet @100% Humidity, again

 

[clarke-connolly]

That's because so much of it, Falls Down Sideways ! !

 

[A Man Called Charolais]

Getting colder now. Talk of sudden stratospheric warming (beast weather) but mixed signals as per boards. At least we might get a break from the rain. You couldn't put a wheelbarrow on the ground as it is at the minute.

Thermals time in North East US. Uruguay?

 

[Professor]

We've got mad weather on the NW coast at the moment it's clear but cloudy, dry but then wet, the drizzle and wee showers holds off for a couple of hours and a dryish wind lifts off the drenching - then the drizzle returns again for 10 minutes to soak everything.
A real rotten deal, would bring a tear to your eye if one believed in hoping for better days

Apparently -

Europe is getting sunnier​

Alongside heat and drought, another key trend from 2022 is that Europe is getting sunnier.

Last year, the continent had its highest sunshine duration on record - the places in red and fuschia on this map had hundreds of hours of extra sunshine last year.

Health risks are increasing due to extreme heat, data shows

The recent Copernicus European State of the Climate report for 2022 painted a picture of a continent that's getting ever hotter, drier and sunnier. Why is this? And what are the implications for our health?

I've seen it coming back up off the ground to soak you.

 

[A Man Called Charolais]

It's going to get freezing in a few days. No snow forecast but icy paths, roads etc. If you have a few things to do that a heavy frost might get in the way of best have a go tomorrow. It should warm up in a week or so.

Good to hear that we are going to have some wintry weather in winter, but hey, RTE will line up the 'experts' to tell us that it's all the fault of climate change.

Any Country where the rain comes down side-ways and often should be Praying for Climate Change !

 

[Mad as Fish]

Since the cold snap started all the sniffles, coughs and colds have departed this household, so bring on the frosts!

 

[Declan]

Despite the talk of very cold elsewhere, it is fine here at -8 to -4 for the next day or so. Then snow gets here

This Global Warming is " " So Fucking Hot " " ! !

 

[A Man Called Charolais]

It's -4 C currently and probably the last of the heavy frosts for a while. A beautiful clear night.

It's a tight night that's for sure

 

[Mad as Fish]

It's -4 C currently and probably the last of the heavy frosts for a while. A beautiful clear night.

Thankfully the roads are mainly dry at the moment, love the clear nights myself, just gazing into the vastness of the universe is so incredibly humbling, all the politicians should be made to do it regularly, just to remind them of how utterly insignificant they really are.

The Moon looks amazing tonight, 1/2 full lighting up the snowy landscape - It looks really christmassy for the first time this year

Just drove Cork-Dublin. 0C to -5C on the way.

That's climate, change is a good as a rest, slow down for black ice!
P.S. it's also expected to change back, later on. . .

Slow down for black ice!

Rainbow coloured ice Sir. As per Met Éireann's anti racist, fully inclusive policy on Climate & weather

 

[Professor]

The problem is that Ireland is getting too much of other peoples rain!
This next few days brings a return of Atlantean rain storms when that rain should be snowing down on kashmir mountains . . .

In his 17 years of managing a hotel in Gulmarg, a picturesque town in Indian-administered Kashmir, Manzoor Ahmad has never seen a season without snow.
But this year, things are different: the snow-clad mountains in the region are oddly brown and barren.

Kashmir's rare snowless winter sets off alarm bells

Experts say that the absence of snowfall this winter will lead to water scarcity and derail the economy.

Looking through these photos on RTE I only spotted one black person.

I’ll be surprised if there aren’t complaints made

They was plenty of them out at the illegal immigrant parade in Dublin today

It's raining again

There's was too much last year and now the same's happening again for '24 . . .


There will be no relief from rain and sodden ground for farmers in the coming days, as according to Met Éireann's farming forecast, rainfall amounts will be two to four times the normal range.

In its farming bulletin, the national forecaster said the week ahead will be unsettled, bringing showers and rain and some heavy downpours at times.

It said soil conditions in fields are expected to worsen due to the rain.

Conditions at the moment are preventing planting and turning livestock out of sheds.

The forecaster said moderately or poorly drained soils will be waterlogged and all other soils will be saturated with all the forecast rainfall.

The farming forecast issued yesterday comes ahead of the publication of Met Éireann's analysis of March weather later today.

It is expected to show rainfall amounts in Ireland were 140% compared to normal, while amounts in some weather stations in the east and south of the country exceeded 200%, including Dublin Airport where rainfall was 219%, and the Phoenix Park where it was 211%.

Across farming sectors, the bad weather has severely hampered spring operations, preventing cows and cattle being turned out to graze fields where grass growth has been good.

In a normal year, animals that had been housed over the winter would generally be in fields by day and night by the beginning of April.

Grain farmers are also struggling to plant. They have seed stored up and ready to go, but field conditions mean machinery cannot be deployed on wet soils.

The potato sector is one that is being badly affected by wet soils in fields.

Irish Farmers' Association's National Potato chairperson Sean Ryan said early planting that should have gone ahead in February did not, and only a fraction of the main crop that normally gets planted in mid-March is in the ground.

He said the current bad weather comes after last year's harvest was one of the most difficult in recent memory, when many growers forced to leave potatoes in the ground as conditions prevented them being harvested.

Potato shortage looms as farmers face ongoing bad weather

Irish Farmers' Association's National Potato chairperson Sean Ryan has said there is a likelihood of potato shortages in supermarkets later in the year as less than 50 acres of the usual 21,000 acres have actually been planted so far.

I was going to ask a local farmer what his opinion on the report was until I heard He's quite proud to mix "Truth with Lies" - Straight from the horses mouth.
