Wet July at Cork Airport
Filed Under (cork airport) by admin on 12-09-2008
Rainfall in July was heavier than normal in Ireland leading to nationwide flooding. Cork was heavily affected with the highest recorded rainfall. It was officially the worst rainfall at Cork Airport since 1975.
Perhaps it was best to have spent July in the west with Shannon Airport having the hottest day of the month at 25.3 degrees on the 24th of July. Ireland tourist board officials insisted that the wet summer was normal for an Irish climate; however the bad weather took a heavy toll on the country’s tourism.
Of course rain will always interfere with plans in Ireland but people know that and they need to work around it. Perhaps instead of complaining, the wet summer should be something to be embraced? Believe it or not but some American tourists found the weather soothing as it gave them a break from the heat at home.
