New Zealand forecaster dampens Irish scorcher hopes

Last year’s long hot summer will not be repeated this year, but Ireland is still forecast to have a warm and sunny couple of months ahead.

While the near-tropical weather of the past week is set to moderate over the next few days, the remainder of the month will still be warm and occasionally sunny.

Alternative weather forecaster Ken Ring, who claims an ability to predict long-range weather patterns by observing lunar cycles, believes that Ireland will experience another scorching day on June 27 and a balmy mid-summer, before cooler weather returns.
