Autumn Colours: Eileen Murphy

Bright weather and low winds in Ireland this year have combined to produce one of the most spectacular autumns here in years.

In September, the weather was drier than normal and temperatures reached a high of almost 24 degrees at one Met Éireann weather station. In October, temperatures were above average everywhere in the country, with some stations recording their highest temperatures in 42 years. Hours of sunshine were also above average in many places.

Expert horticulturist Eileen Murphy, from Teagasc Horticultural College at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin speaks to Rojo about this unseasonable change.
