A record lasting 56 years could be equalled on Tuesday if there's no change in the recent weather
A record for consecutive days without sunshine at Dublin Airport, one that has stood for over five decades, is on the verge of being broken this week as the gloomy winter weather continues across the country.
That brings it level with the second longest consecutive streak without sunshine, recorded way back in January 1987. Should there be an 11th day with no sunshine recorded on Tuesday, it will equal the longest ever sunless streak, a record set in March 1969, 56 years ago. The outlook is for “unsettled” conditions “with frequent wet and breezy spells”, with Thursday likely to bring the worst weather as “heavy” showers and “thunderstorms” are forecast.
