GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING the disappearance of a Latvian man from his home in Co Galway have discovered a body. Juris Buls, 30, has been missing since 7 July.

The remains, which have not yet been identified, were discovered in a wooded area near the Glenamaddy to Creggs Road in Gortnadeeve East yesterday evening.

The scene has been preserved for a technical examination and a post-mortem is due to be held today.

A 35-year-old man who was being questioned in connection with Buls’ disappearance was brought before a special sitting of Tuam District Court this morning and charged with withholding information.

Sergejs Krauze, originally from Latvia but with an address in Glenamaddy, Co Galway, was remanded in custody pending another court appearance on Tuesday, RTÉ reports.

    I rememer in the 1980s on BBC the weatherman used to talk about “rain coming in from Ireland”, like we had big rain making machines and we would all blow over the misery to our friends acrosss the water.
    Of course nowadays it’s all automated…

    They nornally seem to get it right with their “rain with sunny spells” or “sunny with scattered showers” forecasts. Anyway I’d say we will be able to control the weather before we can correctly predict it.

    We can actually control it- its just very expensive. Google cloud seeding.

    I’ve read up on it before. It’s expensive like you say and also difficult to implement and there’s more to weather than simply cloud cover. We still have some ground to cover before we can actually claim control of the weather.

    How much of an impact does cloud seeding by jet vapour trails have?

    I think during the few days of a transatlantic flight ban after 911 there was a measures reduction in cloud cover over IRL and Atlantic or was that an urban legend?
