People in Waterford are among the most frequent weather checkers in Ireland, according to new search trends analysis by KFC.<\/p>\n
The analysis of online search trends found Oola, Co. Limerick, is Ireland\u2019s most weather obsessed town, with Gortroe in Cork and Wexford Town completing the top three.<\/p>\n
Waterford featured four times in the top 10, with people in Tramore, Dungarvan, Kilmacthomas and Waterford City regularly checking the forecast.<\/p>\n
KFC says weather plays a significant role in consumer habits, with changes in temperature, rain and sunshine influencing when people choose to eat out or order takeaway.<\/p>\n
Fast food chains use forecasting and sales data to help predict customer demand, allowing restaurants to better manage staffing levels, stock and food preparation while reducing waste. Retailers across a range of industries increasingly use weather forecasts alongside historical sales data to anticipate changes in customer behaviour.<\/p>\n
