Met Eireann meteorologist and RTE broadcaster Gerry Murphy has said that rainfall is increasing in Ireland - which we have seen in some of the severe weather events in the country over the last few weeks
Meteorologist Gerry Murphy has said that despite technology to forecast weather becoming more accurate, the weather itself is having a greater impact on people.
It comes as the country has seen three storms with severe conditions batter the country over the last month. "Overall, the weather forecasts are becoming more and more accurate," said Gerry. "But what is happening is having a greater impact on people. "The other thing is as forecasts become more accurate, people's expectations have increased and they expect the forecast for their area to be on the ball, which is not possible in some instances. If you have a major weather system approaching the country, it's very difficult to pinpoint which locality will get the heaviest downfall."
