January the wettest month in 60 years in some locations

It probably is stating the obvious but it was the wettest January in almost 60 years in some parts of the country.

According to the latest weather summary from Met Éireann, Dublin Airport experienced its wettest January since 1948, with all weather stations reporting above long-term average rainfall.

The percentage of such rainfall values ranged from 102% (monthly total of 98.1mm) at Gurteen in Co Tipperary to 192% (monthly total of 251.7mm) at Cork Airport — which reported its wettest January since 1988.
