The Beast from the East to the heatwave: 18 reader photos of 2018's weather
Snow, heat, wind, rain – we’ve had it all this year.

WE’VE HAD SOME mad weather this year, from the snowy Beast from the East in the spring to the heatwave in April and on through the summer.

Weather-related problems have sparked gorse fires, caused mothers distress in maternity wards due to air con problems, led to flooding problems and roads to become damaged, and put a dent in the State’s salt supply.

It’s been such a strange array of weather related problems – so let’s take a moment to remember what happened and how it looked.
