Ireland experienced its wettest July ever according to data from Met Éireann. The record previous wettest July was in 2009.
The long term average rainfall levels were greatly exceeded this year in July, with the country experiencing 215 percent of expected rainfall.
The poor weather was due to a period of low pressure systems drifting across the country which brought convective rain through the country according to a Met Éireann spokesperson.
The wettest days were July 14th and 15th. Apparently Raphoe in Co. Donegal was one of the wettest places in Ireland in July, it also experienced some extreme flooding due to the intensity of the rainfall on July 22nd.
