4th and 5th Class enjoyed a really interesting visit from Michelle Dillon, meteorologist from Met Éireann on Wednesday. Michelle told the girls that her favourite subject in school was maths. She studied maths when she went to college. Although she didn't always work with Met Éireann, she had an interest in atmospheric science and her friend encouraged her to apply for a job there. She loves finding out about the weather, which is officially described as 'chaotic'! Met Éireann forecasts 7 - 10 days in advance. It is not possible to forecast accurately further than that. She taught the girls how to read weather charts and do some forecasting of their own. We are enjoying really sunny weather in Dublin at the moment. Michelle told us that it can't last, the rain will come! Let's enjoy it as much as we can right now!
