    Any update on this? May was another very dry month alongside some unusually dry months in the past year {May 2018, June 2018, July 2018, January 2019, February 2019}. June wasn't very wet but relatively wetter than average and so far, July is looking quite dry.

    To continue from the above, here's the monthly rainfall anomalies (using the same 11-station grid) for the Republic of Ireland from September 2015 to June 2019. The unusually dry weather of late 2016/early 2017 and the Summer 2018 drought very evident here.
