Aimsir (weather)

I don’t know if you have heard this before, but it rains a lot in Ireland. In fact, it has rained every day this week. Not a raging downpour mind you, but a steady drizzle. Talking about the weather has taught me the dozens of different phrases the Irish have for rain. It’s incredible: ag cur báistí, ag cur fearthainne, ag clagarnach/greadach/batráil báistí, etc. Nevertheless, the rain has stopped no one from having a big of craic. I did some wet hiking yesterday, but had pleasant company despite the rain.
