Speaking on the Today with Seán O’Rourke programme on RTÉ Radio One, Dr Fleming said that while he is retiring from Met Éireann, he will continue with his role with the World Meteorology Association.
“I’ve picked up some value in my 37 years and I hope I can pass it on to other countries where meteorology isn’t as well developed,” Dr Fleming told listeners on Friday morning.
Farming connection
Dr Fleming’s connection to farming stretches beyond the weekly farming forecast at dinner time every Sunday on RTÉ.
His father Gary was a researcher in AFT, the research body which was the precursor to Teagasc. Gary conducted extensive research on the productivity of cutaway bogs.
