With Midleton being the worst affected area after the storm I saw a lot of reporting on the average monthly rainfall data at Roches Point weather station being around 100-150% higher than normal each month since July which had contributed to higher river levels and saturated ground.
Anyone know a site where I could track this kind of data? I had a look at met eireann and tried to Google it but didn’t knock across it (probably my own stupidity sorry).
