Parts of Dublin are flooded - why wasn't there a rain warning? Storm Chandra flooded many parts of Dublin, but the rain fell just short of Met ร‰ireannโ€™s warning criteria.

Feel like this discussion focuses on warnings to local authorities and forgets that the public needs to be warned about obvious coming floods too. If @carlowweather.bsky.social can do it, why can't Met ร‰ireann?

Closed book exams are imperfect but more adaptable than ppl think. For example, discussion of unseen passages

Really not liking how far back I'm having to scroll to find my birth year. Those things should start at like 1930 out of courtesy.
