Season finished ‘very dry’ with totals below long-term average everywhere in May
A deep depression – named storm Noa – gave widespread wet and windy weather towards mid-month. A period of easterly winds followed, with high pressure to the north. The month finished showery with some heavy and thundery downpours.
Nearly all rainfall totals were above their 1981-2010 long-term average for the season. Percentage of seasonal rainfall values ranged from 76 per cent at Finner, Co Donegal, to 142 per cent at Athenry, Co Galway. By the end of May, however, there were five ongoing dry spells lasting between 17 and 20 days and four ongoing “absolute droughts” lasting 17 days; all in the east of the country.
The number of days with gales ranged from zero days at a few stations to five days at Mace Head, Co Galway, and Malin Head, Co Donegal.
