The Sea Area Forecast is broadcast daily on RTÉ radio at 6 a.m. and midnight. Foretelling fair days or fierce storms coming in across our seas, it has become a national institution. In From Malin Head to Mizen Head, meteorologist Joanna Donnelly takes readers on a journey around Ireland's Sea Area Forecast, visiting the places that are a familiar part of the daily broadcast and explaining its unique history, language and science.

Drawing from the mystery of the sea and Irish landscape textures, illustrations of Ireland's most remote headlands transport us to faraway places, bringing Joanna Donnelly's knowledge and storytelling to life.
