Michael Gallagher is a postman from County Donegal who is known for predicting weather events in Ireland. He studies the behaviour of animals and plants to determine the nature of the weather. His predictions have been disputed by Met Éireann and their scientific methods yet he says between 70 and 80 per cent of his predictions come true.〔 The ''Evening Herald'' has described him as "one of the country's more unusual forecasters". According to ''The Irish Times'', he is the most well-known amateur forecaster in Ireland.〔 His first book, ''Old Traditional Weather Signs'', was released in August 2009,〔 his second book ''Remedies and Cures of Bygone Era'' launched in June 2012.〔 * (book on Michael Gallagher's home page )〕 ==Biography== Gallagher has been a postman for more than 40 years.〔 He lives in Glenfin village in County Donegal.〔 He was featured on RTÉ Radio 1 programme ''Mooney'' in December 2006, in a show dedicated to the decline of the rural post office in Ireland. Gallagher has been involved in the prediction of weather events for at least 25 years.〔〔 He studied the methods used by people from the Bluestack Mountains.〔 He does not believe in the legend of Saint Swithin's Day — that if it rains it will rain for forty more days.〔 He accompanied his daughter to China to compete in the Special Olympics — she claimed a silver medal for Ireland.〔 Whilst there the prominence of ancient customs in the region inspired him to write a book called ''Traditional Weather Signs''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Gallagher (postman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
