Yes, I'm in Dublin, Ireland. Yes, Ireland is known because of its rainy weather (what is not exact). Yes, I'm very bored.
Against all the beliefs, I don't think that in Dublin rains as much as people think*. Since I arrived, the weather has not been so bad. We had enjoyed wonderful days. According to http://www.met.ie/, in Dublin it only rains an average of 11 days/month.
However, there's been a day in which the rain has always appeared... Mondays. 4 pm. Just when I have to go to my class. Maybe we enjoyed a sunny weather the rest of the day, but at 4pm, rains. It happened the last 4 or 5 Mondays...
UPDATE: Today, my theory has been invalidated. I'm working in a new one, don't worry.
Anyway, now we're speaking about the weather (what a wonderful topic to fill space or awkward conversations)... There's something I have discovered in my -busy- life in Dublin. The problem isn't the rain, the wind or the windy-rain. The problem's that you're not wearing the right clothes.
Which are the right clothes?
Well, considering that when you wake up it can be sunny, at midday clouds appears magically, during the afternoon rains so heavily that you can't see where you are, and by the end of the day you can enjoy a breathless sun set; I would say that the right clothes are... a four-season outfit, obviously. (If someone know a place where I can buy them, please contact)
The best way to describe Dublin's weather would be: four seasons in one day. Keep that in mind if you are visiting the city.
Oh! And don't trust the weather forecast, bring a water-resistant coat with you and enjoy of pub's atmosphere while the rain is falling. Nevertheless, you can always follow the Dubliner old ladies' style: a floral plastic hood. Just lovely.
I'd like to finish this post with an Irish saying. Wisdom in one sentence:
"It's a fine day for young ducks". I could not agree more. See you!
*The flood we lived a month ago is not usual... I hope so :S
I like it!
