Each winter, the Atlantic reminds Ireland of its ancient relationship with wind and rain, and Friday was no exception. Met Éireann issued yellow wind warnings across eleven counties from Kerry to Wicklow, as a southwestern system swept inland with gales, heavy rain, and the kind of force that asks people to pause and reckon with the natural world. By Saturday, the storm would pass, leaving behind the quieter rhythms of scattered showers and pale winter sun — a familiar cycle on this island shaped by weather as much as by history.
