The Mick Clifford Podcast: How does Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly get his on-the-ball forecasts?

The Mick Clifford Podcast with Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather
Carlow Weather is a Twitter handle that many might be aware of as a place to go for a usually on-the-ball weather forecast.
Its operator Alan O’Reilly is now probably one of the best forecasters in the country albeit one who is not a meteorologist.
So how does he do it? When did he start? And what kind of summer can we expect before rooting around in the attic for the oul buckets and spades?
Alan O’Reilly is this week’s guest on the podcast.
