Climatologist suggests weather warnings should go beyond county bounds
Share this article

A climatologist says future weather warnings may be better drawn through counties like Kerry rather than be determined by county bounds.

That’s the view of Professor Emeritus of Geography at Maynooth University, John Sweeney.

He says as the science behind weather forecasts becomes more powerful, it may be beneficial for Met Éireann to give weather warnings deeper than at county level.

He says there are geographical differences which affect weather, even within counties.
