Valentia in Co Kerry recorded 64mm, 260% its normal level. Meanwhile, Knock Airport recorded almost double its normal rainfall, with just over 40mm.
Across the country, rainfall was well above normal, but some parts of the midlands were close to average. It was wettest across the south and east, where there was three to four times the norm in many areas. The coming week is expected to have rainfall well below average generally, ranging from 30% to 50%.
