And the weather forecast is:
Thursday: another breezy, cool day, with sunny spells and scattered showers.
Friday: will be a bright day for most places with some hazy sunshine and just the odd scattered shower, but increasing cloud will bring some rain into the Southwest later in the afternoon. That rain will affect all of the country overnight, heavy in places.
Saturday: will start cloudy and damp, but drier weather will get into Ulster and Connacht, later in the day, and into more southern parts overnight.
Sunday: will be a mostly dry, bright day in all areas, with sunny spells and just a few showers. Top temperatures in the mid to high teens throughout, and it will be breezy at times.
Ireland and Holland looks alike (concerning the weather, that is........)

Fair enough.
I get pneumonia and cant make it to London - you dont get to the last 2 shows as I have your tickets.
And if I just get the cold, you get sneezed on for 6 days.
be careful of what you wish for and pray for good weather! |

The forecast for the day of the show calls for an early period of drunken debauchery, with a high chance of excessive Guiness numbering in the high teens. Soon followed by massive crowding. Expect a definate period of suckage during the opening act. With bathroom lines reaching unbearable conditions. But once the show starts theres a 10% chance of very light sprinkling of cool tunes quickly followed by heavy period of war horses throughout the remainder of the evening.
There is a weather advisory in effect for Gazza, Glencar and other fair skinned alcoholics attending the show. All of which are advised to wear sunblock and adult diapers.

With four opening acts, there could well be more 'suckage' than would be expected even in a remake of 'Deep Throat'..... |

From Irish Independent :
Stones rolling in...but bring your wellies
http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/stones-rolling-inbut-bring-your-wellies-1059555.html
By Elaine Keogh
Thursday August 16 2007
BRING your wellies and double your travelling time to see the Rolling Stones at Slane Castle on Saturday. That is the advice from gardai and concert promoters MCD.
It seems our summer washout has ensured that plans to put in extensive drainage across the 22-acre site were brought forward and expert landscapers have finished their work.
Event safety officer Michael Slattery said yesterday that all the car parks will be assessed in light of the weather and a hard surface will be put in at all entry/exit points if needed.
The traffic management plan for the concert has been altered slightly since the last concert at Slane in 2004.
The main difference is that the majority of the cars will travel via the M1 motorway to dedicated car parks on the N51, the Drogheda-Slane road.
No buses will be allowed to travel towards Slane from Drogheda. Traffic diversions will operate on that route from Dolly Mitchell's pub on the east of Slane to Wickers Cross on the west.
On the N2 south of Slane, the diversion will be at Kilmoon Cross and on the north side at Daly's Cross, just north of Collon.
Traffic on the M1 from Northern Ireland will be diverted onto the N2.
There are designated parking areas and disembarking points for Dublin Bus and private bus operators, which will be signposted.
There is no official camping and no casual trading permitted.
Some 460 gardai will be on duty for the event.
"The primary focus is on the traffic arrangements," said Superintendent Kevin Donohoe.
His advice is not to drive and to instead travel by bus.
An emergency route will be clearly signposted and a field hospital staffed by eight doctors, 10 nurses and 16 emergency medical technicians will be on site.
The intense rainfall has also prompted Slane Castle owner Lord Henry Mountcharles to give a personal warning about the River Boyne which runs through the estate and at the rear of the stage.
"The flow in the river is more severe than at any time I have ever seen in my life. Please stay away from the Boyne - it is a dangerous river and we have had casualties before," he said.
The 70,000 tickets for concert have sold out with the exception of a small number of VIP tickets. All VIP tickets include a grandstand seat. "Pack your wellies in the boot if you are driving and our strongest advice is to leave a lot of time," said MCD spokesman Justin Green.
"The gates are opening earlier this year so come for the day and arrive early."
MCD is also advising ticket holders to use public transport.
Opening act Frankie Gavin is due on stage at 2.30 and the Rolling Stones will begin their performance at 8pm.
