A Wet Weekend Gone!....and more to come!!?

Rainfall totals for the Western half of Ireland for 22/23rd August ranged from 25mm in the Northwest to 45mm in the Southwest. And we're not out of the woods just yet either. Some further heavy rain (30mm) is forecast for Wednesday and then some more wet windy weather on Friday 28th (10mm). After this the signs point to a slight improvement especially in the South. In Sligo there were 28.4mm of rain at the weathergossip weather station making it the wettest day here since the new station was set up in May, therefore Sunday 23rd August will probably go down as Sligo's wettest day of Summer 2009. The warmest day of 24.7c will now not be beaten unless something freak happens in September but long term weather forecasts are still predicting a mainly dry September for Ireland and the UK.
