Provisional data from Met Éireann suggests July was the wettest month on record in Ireland.
Paul Moore, a climatologist with Met Éireann, said four times as much rain fell in Ireland in July compared to the same month last year, and that more unsettled weather was on the way for August.
He said that the rainfall for July was at 215% of the long-term average without including yesterday, and that this has been compared to the first data taken in 1940.
The previous wettest was recorded in 2009 and this was 202% of its long-term average.
