Oops! Twitter Is Roasting RTE For Making This Major Blunder On Last Night’s Weather Forecast

Folks in Galway may have gotten a bit of a shock when they tuned in to last night’s weather forecast on RTE.

Despite temperatures for the country ranging between 6 and -1, it seemed Galway was in for an awful night of it, with the forecast map stating the temps would dip to -13.

Sure, we’re well used to some pretty chaotic weather here in Ireland, but -13 in one part of the country, and 6 degrees in neighbouring county Mayo?! Surely not.

Eagle-eyed viewers across the country were quick to spot the error and wasted no time taking to Twitter to fire off a few tweets about the blunder.

Is there some sort of apocalypse happening in Galway tonight???#rteweather. -13 degrees???
