The following is an extract from a holiday journal that I wrote a few years ago, and although tongue in cheek, it is still very accurate: 'Now you may not know, but then again you may, that the Gulf Stream, or from my schooling days, the North Atlantic Drift, flows all the way from the Caribbean and up the west coast of Ireland upon which sits the City of Galway. As the warm air moves up from the Atlantic, it naturally brings water with it, in the form of rain. When it hits the shores of Ireland, the clouds say ‘Hello Ireland, here’s a little present for you’ and promptly drops a half-inch of rain or so within a couple of hours. The air then says ‘Don’t go away, I’m going back to get some more’ and it promptly does. While waiting for its return, the sun comes out and gives you a terrible sunburn. The clouds then return bringing another few thousand gallons of water a few hours later. This sometimes goes on all summer or for that matter all year
In Ireland, it is quite common on the West Coast of Ireland, to have all the seasons of the year in one day, or to be more accurate, within a few hours. |
