It’s official, the weather in Ireland has been bonkers this weekend

Four seasons everyday…

We’re used to the changing conditions in Ireland, a sunny day can turn to a downpour in a matter of milliseconds and leave you soaked to the skin in your shorts and beach hat.

This weekend has been bizarre in terms of weather with some parts having sun, flooding in other areas and snow in April to top it all off.

Cork, the area of Ireland with the most tropical climate, has had a strange few hours and is currently experiencing a puzzling mix of flooding in the streets while other areas are covered in a blanket of snow.

To add to this, Met Éireann have issued an orange rainfall warning for Cork active until 6:00am on Monday and a yellow wind warning for Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford.

A yellow wind warning has been issued for all of Munster, Galway, Mayo and Wexford until Sunday night.
