RTÉ HAS ANNOUNCED a three-day live television event, Weather Live, which will air live from the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin, as part of the station’s upcoming Science Week.
The new, formatted show, will be presented by Kathryn Thomas and will feature Met Éireann’s Evelyn Cusack, Gerald Fleming and Gerry Murphy, to talk about one of Ireland’s favourite obsessions – the weather.
The show will air between 7pm and 8pm from Wednesday 15 November to Thursday 17 November.
Science Week, presented with the support of Science Foundation Ireland, will span factual, news, weather and lifestyle programming. It runs from 13 to 19 November.
Aside from Weather Live, the week will feature themed content across RTÉ Player, video clips featuring science experiments, and a number of long-form written pieces by science experts on RTÉ’s website.
During Science Week, RTÉ Youtube channel will feature a series of specially commissioned short features, including three from Weather Live and two from Dara O’Briain.
RTÉ Archives will mark Science Week on RTÉ by digging out science-themed content from the past, including a series of weather-related clips.
The week has a lot in store for children too, with RTÉjr airing Brainfreeze, a selection of 13 short pieces being dropped into a range of programming, while season one and two of Wonder What will make a return to the schedule. News2Day will have a host of reports focused on science and technology throughout the week.
Sticking with the weather theme, the current RTÉ Guide magazine includes a pullout poster all about weather.
“RTÉ seeks to engage its audiences through informative, entertaining, thought-provoking and relevant programming,” Colm O’Callaghan, Ceannasaí Cláracha Gaeilge, Education and Science at RTÉ said.
“Science and technology play an increasingly pivotal role in our everyday lives and it’s important that we put that under the microscope and help out audiences explore and understand the world around us,” he said.

What a bunch of morons out there this morning.I think ye are all jealous of our beautiful county with our great tradition of music,hurling,politics ,even Donald Trump likes us. Have a good day
LOL
I’d rather live in Syria or Ukraine than that little worthless bog you call Clare
Wow..Your uneducated and an idiot..that is some going…
The Wild Atlantic Way has lived up to its name over the last couple of months. The winter storms have been reshaping the coastline all along the West coast. Here in Co. Clare the tourism infrastructure has been badly damaged, but that won’t stop Clare being open for visitors this year. Voted the best place to holiday in Ireland. Come see why ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anftlby4gSE
If heavens not in clare its not any where, ….see ya soon,
With a bit of luck the Atlantic will swallow the kip up one day
I’m surprised you got the “Atlantic” bit right due to your lack of intelligence…your mammy must be by your side therefore
Would it not be cheaper just to let Clare County go altogether. Move everyone out and house then in the ghost estates in other counties. Maybe just maintain two roads into the county – one that leads to the Aillwee Caves and the other to Shannon Airport. It could save a fortune on County Councillors. Plus the fantastic hurlers could improve hurling standards in their new counties. It’s a win-win really.
Its basically co Limerick anyway
You are a clown
Move them to Cork, detach Cork from the rest of the country, Bob’s your uncle.
I guess that’ll be an increase on LPT so.
And a hike at the car park at the cliffs.
Co County? Hahaha
I wonder how the family family feel about this?
Ahhh. They fixed it. The headline said Co County earlier.
We need €36 million we get €16
Oh yeah great job.. Not!
If this was on the east coast it would be a different kettle if fish
I’m sure that €36m was over-stated to begin with – don’t forget the €16m doesn’t include a further €6m for Doolin.
@ Angela
What do you expect there is nothing in that boring little town that is worth investing in
The whole of Clare isn’t worth that much
Steve,your last name is bang..the mother jokes must have been good at school…:)
Just buy a million worth of sand and throw it around a bit. Sorted.
If there was no property tax there would be no funds for this work. Excellent planning by the government yet again :)
What a beautiful county. Well done
Oval reps like Michael McNamara for fighting for decent allocation.
The place is a kip
Has nothing going for it
Bit like you then
Best bet would be to just write it off and get a new one.
Alot of money put in that you will never get back
Leave the muck savages to fix it themselves
N
have your say
