The start of summer has officially been a washout.

The amount of rain recorded was more than double the usual levels and on one day, the 21st, over 42 millimetres of rain fell – almost a third of the monthly total.
A gust of over 80 kilometres per hour was recorded at Shannon on the 26th of last month, the highest windspeed recorded anywhere in Ireland in July.
