Title: The Irish Weather
Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 06-Sep-10, 04:26:01 AM
After weeks of sapphire skies, the weather here has changed suddenly, with torrential downpours since Saturday. And it's still at it! The Met report this morning tells us:

"Rain will clear to showers this afternoon."

Where else would clear still mean showers?

My favourite is one from a late summer forecast... when farmers anxiously watch the skies, hoping the fields and crops will be dry enough for harvest. They were told:

"Good drying today, except during showers."

Now we know...
