Last month was a mixed bag of weather throughout the country, with places to head for and others to avoid if you were looking for good weather.
According to the climatology and observations division of Met Éireann's June report, if you were in Rosslare last month you experienced the sunniest June in 28 years, with 252 hours of sun.
On the other hand if you were unfortunate enough to have been in Valentia, Co Kerry, on June 9th last you would have experienced the wettest day there since records began in 1892.
There was a total rainfall of 64 mm on that day, more than the whole total for the month at Casement Aerodrome, Co Dublin, which recorded 57mm (one inch of rain measures 25mm).
However, the sunny south-east did not capture the record for the highest temperature of the month. This was recorded at 23.5 degrees at Casement on June 25th. The lowest temperature found during the month was at Kilkenny, where there was frost with -1.1 degrees on the same night.
The service reported that like all other months of 2003 so far, mean air temperatures for the month were above normal everywhere by around one degree generally.
"It was the warmest June for between eight and 11 years at most stations and the warmest since 1970 at Belmullet. Mean temperatures for the first half of 2003 are over a degree above the 30-year normal in most places, but just under one degree above normal in the south," said the monthly report.
"Rainfall totals for the month were above normal everywhere; they were only slightly higher than normal at several stations in the northern half of the country, but more than twice the June average was measured at Kilkenny," it added.
Met Éireann predicted better weather this week following the heavy rains which began on Sunday night.
While not forecasting a settled spell of weather, it said from tomorrow it will become dry over most of the country but because we are still dominated by Atlantic weather systems, it will not be as warm.
