    This is one of my pet gripes. While Belmullet may have had only 60% of its normal rainfall this month, it was still one of the wettest places in the country, like most of the western seaboard; this month, with nearly twice as much rainfall falling there as on the eastern seaboard.

    %'s do not tell the full story. Very often, even in the Monthly Weather Bulletin, we have headlines like "Another very wet month in the East", yet when you look the actual figures, the west is almost always much wetter. Obviously percentage of average based, which is fair enough, but %'s mean very little to those that actually experience the rain in all its glory.

    Good point about Belmullet, what could be below average there can still be more rain than anyone else got.

    Unusually though it was the driest station during the last 7 days in march.
