According to Met Éireann, Kerry has yet to see a day without rain so far in 2026. In Ireland, children play indoors amid hanging sheets as if they were being raised in a fully immersive art installation. Some people say there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes, and to those people I say welcome to West Kerry. While there are definitely pros to the latter, just relenting and buying the Dunnes wellies is cheaper. All I know is, if rain generates stories, this generation of West Kerry children will be the biggest literary geniuses since Frank McCourt.
