Met Eireann slammed for 'yet another inaccurate forecast' amid list of weather complaints
Cancelled trips, missed appointments, and a misspelling of County ‘Loais’ were among the complaints made to Met Éireann in the first half of the year.
“I, at least, would have had a choice to change my appointment had this been forewarned. With your expertise and technology surely this event was obvious.” “Yet another inaccurate forecast,” an email said, “today was promised to be dry all day in Sutton, Co Dublin on the Met Éireann app. After a sunny morning, there have been thundery downpours since lunchtime.”
The increasing reliance of people on their phones for weather information is also highlighted in the records, with the majority of complaints now relating to the app rather than TV or radio broadcasts.
