To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge weather presenters from RTÉ and TG4 swapped jobs.
RTÉ Weather's Helen Curran went to Connemara to take over at Aimsir@TG4 while Caitlín Nic Aoidhh travelled to Dublin to front RTÉ Weather bulletins.
Here is how they got on:
Sí @helcurran as @WeatherRTE @rte a bhí linn ar @TG4TV leis an aimsir a thabhairt agus @CaitlinNicAoidh ina háit i mBaile Átha Cliath mar chuid do #SnaG20 beidh sí ar aer roimh @NuachtTG4 arís 18.57

Helen Curran said: "Everyone in TG4 has been really kind and really welcoming as I brush off my teanga. But the strangest part of doing Aimsir is that they stand on the other side of the screen. Instead of using my left hand to point, I need to use my right hand. It's like driving on the other side of the road!"
Caitlín Nic Aoidh added: "Irish people up and down the country are interested in weather. Like sport, chat of the rain, wind and snow unites people. I'm delighted to be involved in #weatherswap and this fun project for Seachtain na Gaeilge. I might be in a different studio today but it's the same story with our Irish weather!"
