Summer ends in ... Floods!

After one of the wettest Summers on record, August sure went out with a bang. A whopping 36.7mm of rain fell in Sligo flooding many of the towns roads ("road flooded" signs were everywhere) while at the station in Johnstone Castle in Kilkenny there was 34.6mm. The figure of 36.7mm in Sligo was the wettest day recorded at the weathergossip weather station since its inception at the start of May. It also has made August a lot wetter overall than it had been in the provisional graphs for Summer that are printed on this blog.
