Everyone knows that March was an absolute washout. From Strom Mathis blasting some counties to just general wet and miserable days, many would comment that this may have been the wettest March they have ever seen.
Well, Met Eireann has confirmed this, announcing that based off provisional gridded data, March 2023 was indeed the wettest March ever on record in Ireland.
Furthermore, the wettest March followed on from what was confirmed provisionally as the fourth driest February on record. Before last month, the previous wettest March was in 2019.
