The Irish weather. Subject of endless conversations, the saviour of small talk and famously unreliable. We all know it well, as a constant, if capricious, backdrop to our lives. But how well do we really know it? While our relationship with the weather used to be nearly always personal and nearly always local, now it's also increasingly global. This important relationship that each of us has with the weather, the desire to understand it and a deep concern for how it is changing, inspired Evelyn and Séamus to write this book.
They Say it Might Rain tells the fascinating tale of Ireland's weather and our connection to it through the ages. It 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 more recent chaos of Storm Éowyn, this beautifully illustrated book explains it all.
