Phoenix Park weather station in Dublin broke an 82-year record by recording 149.1mm of rainfall during last month
The Phoenix Park weather station in Dublin broke an 82-year record by recording 149.1mm of rainfall during the month of July; this was 271 per cent of the expected rainfall for the area.
Dunsany weather station in Co Meath had three times the average level of rainfall for the area with a staggering 184.5mm of rain falling on the area. It broke a record set 59 years ago. Met Éireann says the day with the provisionally highest recorded amount of rain was the Saturday, July 22nd. That Saturday saw 41.6mm of rainfall on Dunsany, Co Meath, with Oakpark in Carlow a close second place receiving a 41.2mm soaking on the day.
The record levels of rainfall was caused by “a period of low-pressure systems drifting across the country. These systems brought convective rain through the month” said Met Éireann climatologist Paul Moore to The Irish Times on Monday.
