Here’s today’s forecast from Met Eireann, the Republic’s weather service.

The symbol in the lower left corner is the typical weather for Dublin. On a good day, we get the sun-rain-LIGHT-clouds symbol (upper-left and upper-right symbols).

It seems a little surreal to combine every possibility into a single symbol, but it really is the most effective way to communicate a forecast. The forecast for the four regions in this clipping makes sense to me, and I’ve only been here a short while.
