Woeful weather set to continue

IT is cold, often wet and definitely miserable — welcome to the Irish summer.

Met Éireann yesterday dampened any hopes of good weather for the rest of May and said current inclement conditions are set to continue, although not quite at the extreme levels of last Sunday.

The weather wreaked havoc on some sporting events, with the postponement on Sunday of the final round of the Nissan Irish Open in Co Kildare and of the Connacht senior football clash between Galway and Sligo, rescheduled for next Saturday.
