Winter 2015 among wettest on record

As the country was buffeted by 130km/h winds yesterday, a report has confirmed that 2016 has thus far been a washout for most of us.

A woman had to be taken to University Hospital Limerick yesterday after she was blown over by the gales.

After six storms battered the country in just three months, more than half of Irish weather stations recorded 2016 as the wettest winter on record.
