Why do we name #storms 🌬 ? We do it because it works. It helps us in our mission to protect life and property, as people are more likely to remember and respond to ⚠ warnings when storms are named. ❓ Do you want to know which names Met Éireann has contributed to this season's list? 🤓 or how have the names been chosen? ❓ Do you want to know when met services name storms? 🔗You can find out all that (and many more interesting facts about storm naming and past storm seasons) here: https://lnkd.in/eFzDJGHE #StormNaming #StormNames #NamingOurStorms #weatherwarnings #bewinterready

Have you noticed the skies getting hazier lately? 🔥🌫️ Smoke from Canadian #wildfires has made its way across North America and the North Atlantic all the way to Europe. As a result of the ongoing wildfires, 2024 is likely to be the second highest year for carbon emissions in Canada over the past two decades, behind only 2023. One consequence is poorer air quality, both locally and further away. Read more about what CAMS data is showing in terms of the fire emissions and smoke transport in our latest article. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-M4eBZ7

🗓️Ireland’s #Climate Statement for July 2024 is now out 🌡️It won’t come as a surprise that July was #cooler than average everywhere in Ireland. With an average temperature of 14.77 degrees Celsius, it was 0.59 degrees below the 1981-2010 Long Term Average (LTA) and 0.61 degrees below the 1991-2020 LTA. While the Earth experienced its warmest day in recent history in July 2024 (global average temperature of 17.16 degrees Celsius, according to Copernicus C3S), Ireland was on the cooler northern side of the jet stream for most of the month, with two-thirds of the month seeing low pressure systems moving over the country and even feeding in a Polar maritime airmass during the first week of July. 💧Provisional gridded rainfall data suggests July was #drier than average (with 78% of its 1981-2010 LTA), with Dublin Airport being the station recording the lowest monthly rainfall totals (37.9 mm or 67% of the station’s LTA). 🔎Find these and many more statistics at https://lnkd.in/eVmW7aZv

Thanks to all those who took part in the vote 🗳️ for the ‘H’ name in the 2024-25 Storm Season. With 60% of the overall votes cast through the poll, Hugo has been selected to join the list of #StormNames for the coming season. ⚠️ #Staytuned for the publication of the full list of names in the 2024-25 #StormSeason at the end of next month. 📢 #teamHarvey #teamHugo #staysafe
It’s that time of the year again! The 2024-25 Storm Season will start in September ⚠ and we’re getting a new list of names ready, but we are looking for your help. 🙏 Should it be Hugo or Harvey? Head over to our Instagram page and help us choose the name under letter “H” through the poll in the latest post! 🗳 https://lnkd.in/eHxQhutA The name with the most votes will make it to the list of potential storm names for the 2024-25 season, but be quick! The poll will close on Monday 29th July, 22:00 h. ⏳ Don’t forget to share this with Hugos and Harveys who may enjoy having a storm named after them (although who knows how many storms next season will bring?) The new list of names will be launched at the end of August, so watch this space for further details. 📲 #teamHarvey #teamHugo #StormNames #StormSeason #stormnaming #staysafe

Fantastic to see our interns’ interest and willingness to learn! 👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻
Last Friday myself and fellow Met Éireann Climate Services Intern Rachel Doyle got the chance to go up on the roof of the Met Éireann offices in Glasnevin. We were brought up under the supervision of the wonderful Dr. Emma Markey. Emma told us about her PhD research into pollen and how trees and grasses in urban environments are causing an increase in hay fever within the population. Some of the interesting facts we learned are that that different types of hay fever are at their most intense at different times of the year. For example, people who react to grass pollen usually experience the height of their symptoms in June, whereas people who react to birch pollen typically are affected most in April. We also learned that unlike some allergies, hey fever can be caused by exposure to pollens and fungal spores and that many people can develop hey fever later in life. Air pollution is thought to increase the likelihood of developing hey fever, which is yet another reason why air pollution is bad for our health. On top of learning about pollen (atop the roof), we saw some of the instruments on the roof, such as the Lanzoni Hirst volumetric sampler which is used to detect levels of pollens and fungal spores (pictured below). This is used to discover recent trends in pollen levels and is operated in partnership with DCU School of Chemistry. We also learned about the Swisens Poleno Jupiter device which is part of a real time pollen detection (unlike the Lanzoni Hirst, which can take over 10 days to report results). This allows for predication of high pollen days, allowing Met Éireann to issues pollen warnings (viewable on twitter). I also saw the satellite dishes. I just think satellite dishes are neat. Many thanks to Dr. Emma Markey for sharing her time and expertise with us.

"There is evidence that higher temperatures significantly increase hospitalisation rates, a report from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) has found. The data shows that between 2015 and 2019 emergency hospital admissions for temperature-affected diseases were 8.5% higher on hot days in Ireland. The ESRI combined temperature data from Met Éireann with emergency inpatient hospitalisation data, showing that temperature rises significantly increase hospitalisations here for temperature-related health conditions." 💡 Read more key findings from the report: https://lnkd.in/dB9xkeNA 📰 Read RTE News coverage of the report:
