THEY SAY IT MIGHT RAIN (IRELANDS WEATHER AND CLIMATE) (HB)

The Irish weather: subject of endless conversations, saviour of small talk, famously unreliable. A constant, if capricious, backdrop to our lives. While our relationship with the weather used to be nearly always personal and nearly always local, now it's increasingly global. This is both an authoritative guide and a personal reflection of Ireland's weather, blending storytelling with science - from the earliest weather watchers in prehistory to the ferocious Night of the Big Wind in 1839 and the recent chaos of Storm Eowyn.
