Met Éireann's head of forecasting is retiring after more than 40 years with the service

Met Éireann's head of forecasting Evelyn Cusack is retiring today after more than 40 years at the service.

EVELYN CUSACK IS retiring from Met Éireann after a career of over 40 years at the meteorological service.

Recalling that she was then looking forward to calmed period in the wake of those storms, Cusack then had to make a call to recommend cancelling the National Ploughing Championships just a few months later.On the morning of the predicted storm, she recalled, it was calm – before the winds whipped up and the tented structures on the site were flattened.

Decrying the practice by some news outlets to carry weather stories based on long-range predictions by self-appointed forecasters on social media, Cusack even dedicated a lengthy portion of a bulletin to a scientific takedown of makey-up forecasting methods, back in 2013.
