On the far west coast of the County at Mace Head in Carna - open to the weather systems from the wide Atlantic -it was relatively dry in comparison at just under 1100 millimetres.

The main reason for the big figures in the east of the county was a deluge in the months of August and September.

Mace Head has been recording rainfall at about 20% below the average over recent years; this has led to some questioning of the validity of the average rainfall for the area which is given by MET Eireann at 1340 millimetres annually.

A notable statistic from both stations is the temperature.

In Athenry, temperatures have been a little lower than average over the past three years.

At Mace head, temperatures have been just over the average during that period.

The averages relate to the period 1980-2010.
