A temperature event of 33 degrees Celsius in Dublin’s Phoenix Park has gone from being a 1 in 180-year event in 1942 to a 1 in 9-year event in 2020, according to a new study led by Maynooth University.

I got to visit @TodaywithClaire on Thursday and talk about calendars and clocks. I can't have been too confusing, because the piece made it to Playback on @RTEOne, though they recommended that you'd had a coffee before hand :-)
(I also got a picture of the broadcast clock!)
ALT Three screens in a broadcast room. One shows the RTÉ Radio 1 logo, one shows a clock with 20mins 30s remaining on Jan 4th. The final screen shows Mass on RTE (TV) 1.

For #MathsWeek2023, a maths/chemistry joke:
I was given a problem in maths class where I had to solve for the price cake ingredients. I got a solution for the baking soda, but the teacher said it was too basic.
(In the spirit of the times, this was workshopped with Bing AI)
