Rain in Cavan

What the gutters carry in Cavan

Cavan gets about 1,042 mm of rain a year, December the wettest month. Off a 60 m² roof, that's about 62,520 litres a year for the gutters to carry. Bailieborough is the wettest of the towns here at 1,142 mm, Cootehill the driest at 1,027 mm. That's middling for Ireland. A standard profile copes on most houses if there are enough downpipes; a long run with one outlet is what overflows.
