New evidence has found that Ireland had to endure 20 years of non-stop rain back in 2345 BC - just around the time of Noah's Biblical flood.
While many would say it rains quite a lot in Ireland now, new evidence has found that the Emerald Isle had to endure 20 years of non-stop rain back in 2345 BC - just around the time of Noah's Biblical flood.
On Sunday, RTE One's 'Secret's of the Irish Landscape' will reveal that this period of continual rainfall makes it possible that the biblical story of the great flood really did happen, TheJournal.ie reports.
"According to the ancient Annals of the Four Masters, the whole of Ireland had to be evacuated at this time,” says Professor Mike Baillie from Queen's University in Belfast.
"We believe this global event was caused by a big explosive volcanic eruption which loaded the atmosphere with dust to reflect the sunlight away and cause widespread cooling at the earth’s surface."
Baillie discovered that freak weather events such as the great flood tend to occur about every thousand years.
The last freak weather event occurred in Ireland in 540 AD, when it rained for 10 years straight.

This is maddening. There may be an interesting and historically important story here. If there was a decade of non stop in 540s. Then I presume, it affects most of the Irish sea. So Scotland, Wales, West Country.
Now who else is thinking of Arthur? Its an interesting if that is the right word, tragedy. A time, when nothing is ever dry. Everywhere is muddy. Firewood is useless. Water water everywhere...
