We are delighted to welcome Evelyn Cusack, Senior Meteorologist and Head of Forecasting Division at Met Éireann to DIAS for what promises to a fascinating talk.
Evelyn will take us on the fascinating journey from the deep time of Snowball Earth (around 600 million years ago) to the birth of scientific weather forecasting and a look at present day observations, storm naming and forecasts, and plans for the future.
Evelyn will also address the ‘spring controversy’…..Is St Bridget’s Day the start of spring?.
