Three Days in June: The Story of The D-Day Forecast

For a few tense days in June 1944, the success of the greatest military invasion the world had ever seen depended on weather readings taken by Maureen Sweeney at the remote Blacksod weather station on Ireland’s west coast.
Three Days in June includes a special interview with the now 96-year-old Maureen - providing a living link to a unique moment in history, when military might and meteorological analysis collided.
Maureen’s data threw Eisenhower’s meticulously planned invasion strategy into chaos, forcing him to mediate between opposing US & UK weather advisors and Generals and ultimately leaving him alone to make one of the most difficult decisions in the entire war. Completely unaware of the significance of her work- she was simply doing their job - Maureen’s readings were the first to point out an impending storm which led to the postponement of the invasion.
