Head of Forecasting at Met Éireann Evelyn Cusack

Yesterday.

Met Éireann launched its 2019/2020 Be Winter Ready campaign.

During a report on the launch on Virgin Media One last night, Met Éireann’s Head of Forecasting Evelyn Cusack said:

“So because of social media now, there can be some very scary and misleading headlines.

“And you know that does concern Met Éireann, that the citizen or people are actually worried unnecessarily and I want to reassure them and assure them that Met Éireann has all the data, has the best predictions for Ireland and we only issue warnings based on the best predictions.

“So please listen in to Met Éireann’s warnings and not to be too frightened by just general noise on social media.”

Oh.
