Going to see Ed Sheeran later? Bring a raincoat

It’s going to rain. Of course.

IF YOU’RE HEADING to see Ed Sheeran tonight, you might want to be Thinking (Out Loud) about bringing a raincoat.

Met Éireann says that despite it being clear this morning and this afternoon, rain will spread to all parts of the country tonight.

We know what you’re thinking and asking the rain- Don’t. But it doesn’t matter One bit, it’s going to rain in The City of Dublin.

Temperatures that will drop to between nine and 12 degrees Celsius and heavy rain will continue into tomorrow and will continue into late next week.

However, the rain will be a Small Bump in the road, as 80,000 people descend on Croke Park tonight, some to get Drunk and all to Sing.

Sheeran described last night’s gig as “mental”, but tonight’s temperatures could make him wish he was in the Tenerife Sea.

(Sorry*.)

(*Not sorry.)

    No, it’s only those going to the gig need a rain coat. The rest of us are grand.

    No one needs a coat when you’re safe in the cosy shelter of Sheeran’s ginger benevolence.

    between you blaming Ed, and Sinead O Connor blaming Rolling Stone and Kim Kardashian, we have a real whodunnit. but I’m pretty sure music is still alive having listened to some just now.
