Signature project

How many records should chance set? Sixty-five years at the Glasnevin station

The data is Met Éireann's daily file for its Dublin (Glasnevin) station. A year counts here only if it has at least 350 days with both a maximum and a minimum temperature, which leaves 58 complete years between 1961 and 2025.

Records at Glasnevin in 58 complete years, 1961 to 2025
What is measured each year	Records set	Expected with no trend	Latest record
Average temperature for the year	10	4.65	2023, 11.80 degrees
Hottest day	6	4.65	1990, 31.0 degrees
Warmest night	4	4.65	2006, 19.8 degrees
Coldest night (record lows)	2	4.65	1972, minus 11.5 degrees

Where 4.65 comes from

If nothing is changing, each of the first k years is equally likely to be the warmest so far, so year k sets a record with a chance of 1 in k. The first year always counts. Add 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 and so on up to 1/58 and the total is 4.65. The same sum for just the last 20 of those years is 0.42.

The warm years

Glasnevin's yearly average set records in 1961, 1973, 1975, 1983, 1989, 1995, 1997, 2006, 2022 and 2023, ten in all. Shuffling the 58 yearly averages into random order 100,000 times produced ten or more records only 570 times.

The hottest day

The single hottest day of each year tells a quieter story: six records, the last on 2 August 1990 at 31.0 degrees, which still stands. One day a year is a noisy thing to track, and 2022 came closest, with 29.8 on 18 July.

A record means little until you know how many to expect

A new record sounds dramatic, yet in a short series records are common and in a long one they should grow rare. Counting them only means something beside the number expected if nothing were changing, and that number takes one line to compute and a few more to check by simulation. The same test works for race times, rainfall, sales figures or a video game's high scores.

The learner's program reads Met Éireann's file, which opens with a key to its codes and then gives one row per day. It hits a trap before any maths. From 1966 to 1988 every date appears twice, 8,000 dates in all: one row carries rain only, the other rain and temperatures, and which comes first changes from year to year. Keeping the first row for each date leaves 38 complete years; keeping the last leaves 42; merging the pair field by field, which turns up no conflicting values, restores all 58. The program then works out each year's average, hottest day, warmest night and coldest night, counts the records in each, computes the expected count with the running sum above, and repeats the count on 100,000 shuffled orders to see how often chance matches it.

Years left out

Seven years between 1961 and 2025 have fewer than 350 days with both readings, 2020 among them because its rows stop at the end of November. They are left out rather than filled in with guesses.

The cold side

Record lows turn up less often than chance would give. The coldest night set a record only twice, in 1961 and at minus 11.5 degrees in 1972, and the yearly average only twice, in 1961 and 1962.

What it does not show

The records say recent years at Glasnevin have been warm; they do not say why, and one station is not the whole country. The shuffle test also treats years as independent, which neighbouring years are not quite.

Glasnevin, named

Glasnevin through its weather station, gardens, cemetery and university

Every entry below comes from the body responsible for it.

Named places in Glasnevin
Place	What its own source says
Met Éireann weather station	Dublin (Glasnevin), 18 metres above sea level
National Botanic Gardens	Glasnevin, Dublin 9, D09 VY63
Glasnevin Cemetery	Finglas Road, D11 XA32
DCU Glasnevin Campus	Collins Avenue Extension, D09 V209

The gardens

The OPW's Heritage Ireland page says the gardens, 3 kilometres from the city centre, hold over 16,000 plant species and cultivars, over 300 of them endangered and 6 extinct in the wild. It names Richard Turner's Curvilinear Range and the Great Palm House as highlights, notes a link with Kilmacurragh in County Wicklow since 1854, and lists admission to the gardens as free.

The cemetery

Dublin Cemeteries Trust says Glasnevin Cemetery was established in 1832, covers 124 acres and is the resting place of almost 1.5 million people.

The university

DCU gives D09 V209 as the default eircode for its Glasnevin Campus, used for post to the mailroom at the John and Aileen O'Reilly Library on Collins Avenue Extension.

What this page does not claim

No population is given for Glasnevin, because the page prints only what named bodies publish about the place. The temperature records describe one station. The Botanic Gardens' own website blocked automated reading, so its facts are taken from the OPW's Heritage Ireland page instead.

Learning here

Two lessons in a Glasnevin learner's week

Most weeks hold two lessons, and in each the teacher leads live throughout.

Children

Children begin in block code with games of chance, and learn to tell a lucky streak from a real change.

Teenagers

Teenagers progress to Python, websites, AI projects and long real files like the weather station's, where the maths becomes something they can run.

Adults

Adults are welcome with no experience; the first lesson chooses the course.

Temperatures are Met Éireann's daily records for station 1823; the complete-year counts, record tallies, expected values and shuffle results were calculated by us on 20 September 2026. Garden, cemetery and university details come from the OPW, Dublin Cemeteries Trust and DCU.

Coding and AI

Ask an assistant whether Glasnevin is getting warmer

It may fit a trend line. It rarely asks how the file was built.

Give an AI assistant the station file and ask for a warming trend, and a common first attempt reads the rows into a table keyed by date and fits a line. On this file a table keyed by date keeps whichever row came last, and from 1966 to 1988 that is often the row with no temperatures, so years of readings vanish without an error. The line that follows is fitted to the survivors.

The learner who has built this project checks the keys first, merges the duplicate rows, and then asks a sharper question than a trend line: how many records would chance set in 58 years, and how does that compare with what happened? An assistant can help write the shuffle; the learner knows what it is for.

A record is only news next to the number chance would produce. Code lets you work that number out. The longer argument is in why a young learner should start coding now.

FAQ

Glasnevin coding class questions

Common questions from Glasnevin families.

Is there a Modern Age Coders centre in Glasnevin?

No. We teach live on video and have no premises in Ireland. The learner needs a computer, a microphone and sound, and a reliable internet connection. The phone number on this page belongs to India.

What is the weather records project?

The learner takes Met Éireann's daily file for the Glasnevin station, repairs 8,000 duplicated dates, keeps the 58 complete years and counts records: the yearly average set 10 against the 4.65 chance would give, and 100,000 shuffles matched that only 570 times.

Does the project prove why it is warmer?

No. It shows how unusual the run of warm records is for one station. Explaining the cause takes much more than one station's file, and the page does not attempt it.

Why is no population shown for Glasnevin?

District pages here use only what named bodies publish about the place itself, in this case Met Éireann, the OPW, Dublin Cemeteries Trust and DCU, and none of them states a head count.

At what times are lessons held?

Weekdays from after school into the evening, and daytime at weekends. Lesson times are given in Irish time. Our teachers are in India, ahead of Glasnevin by four and a half hours in summer and by five and a half in winter, and we only offer hours that make sense on both sides.

Do you teach adults?

Yes, anyone up to sixty-seven, beginners included. After the free lesson an adult can pick a group at their level or one-to-one teaching.

Will my child be grouped with other Glasnevin children?

Only by chance, since groups are formed by level, so classmates can be from anywhere in Ireland or abroad.

What do coding classes in Glasnevin cost?

The first lesson is free. After that a group place costs USD 100 a month for about eight live lessons, two a week, with five to ten learners, and one-to-one lessons on the same schedule cost USD 150 a month. Terms are agreed before anything is paid.

How big is a group?

Five to ten learners, matched by level, pace and goals rather than by age or where they live. If no group runs at a workable time, lessons are one to one.
