USUALLY WHEN WE do a story about the weather it’s full of depressing words.

Rain. More rain. Cloud. Cold. Wrap up warm. Bring your umbrellas. Get a coat. Stay indoors. Abandon all hope.

But not today. Oh no.

Yes, it may be slightly chilly out there right now (12 degrees in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Donegal and a balmy 13 degrees in Kilkenny) but more importantly: IT IS NOT RAINING ANYWHERE IN IRELAND.

You heard us. Not a drop of rain, anywhere. We’ve included an image of it from Met Éireann’s rainfall radar below, just for posterity. You never know when this will happen again.
