Before you use these figures

• One station's own reading, not a county-wide average: This figure comes from a single rain gauge, not an average across the county. Rainfall varies genuinely by location — especially across larger or more mountainous counties — so parts of the county may see more or less rain than this station's own reading.
• Unusually high in January 1989: This area's January 1989 figure is unusually high compared with what other areas reported for January 1989 — 233 against a typical figure (median) of about 71 across 23 other areas that period. No longer this dataset's latest period, so a look at just today's headline figure would not have caught it — flagged here from a check across the dataset's full history. Worth checking against the source before treating it as a straightforward trend.
• Station chosen for continuity, not central location: The station shown for each county was chosen for having the longest unbroken current record among that county's currently-reporting rain gauges, not for being centrally located or most representative.
• A volunteer network, not automated sensors: Most of these stations are read manually by volunteer observers, not automated instruments — Met Éireann's own long-running Cooperative Climate Network. Occasional gaps in an otherwise long record usually reflect a period with no observer, not missing rain.
