It may look set to be a sunny Bank Holiday weekend, but a new documentary to be aired on RTÉ One this Sunday (May 5), will make viewers think twice about putting their umbrellas away.
Expert Professor Mike Baillie from Queen’s University Belfast has managed to show that it rained non-stop for 20 years in Ireland in 2345 BC, leading historians to believe that Noah's flood may have happened.
Speaking about The Secrets of the Irish Landscape documentary, producer Colm Crowley hinted that the massive weather phenomena may happen again.
He said: “The last major weather event happens around AD540 where it appears to rain for about 10 years. We haven’t had one on this scale since around the time of Saint Patrick. Unfortunately we’re long overdue one now.”
Secrets of the Irish landscape presented by Derek Mooney starts this Sunday, May 5th on RTÉ One at 6.30pm.
