Rain in Clare
What the gutters carry in Clare
Ennis gets about 1,288 mm of rain a year, December the wettest month. Off a 60 m² roof, that's about 77,280 litres a year for the gutters to carry. Lisdoonvarna is the wettest of the towns here at 1,548 mm, Shannon the driest at 1,086 mm. Clare's main town is one of the wettest in the country, the 5th highest of the 26 county towns here. Undersized gutters overflow in every heavy shower: ask for square line or deep flow on a big roof, and an extra downpipe on a long run. On the Atlantic side, wind drives the rain sideways, so gutter brackets every metre or so and well-fixed downpipes matter more than the shape.
| Town | Rain a year | Wettest month | Off a 60 m² roof |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ennis | 1,288 mm | December | 77,280 litres |
| Shannon | 1,086 mm | December | 65,160 litres |
| Kilrush | 1,213 mm | December | 72,780 litres |
| Lisdoonvarna | 1,548 mm | December | 92,880 litres |
Met Éireann 1991–2020 averages, the mean of the 1 km grid within 3 km of each town (our calculation). Litres are our sum: rain × 60 m² of roof.
Clare homes
Houses and gutters in Clare
In Clare, most houses are detached (60%), with 40 m or more of gutter and several downpipes. 68% of homes were built before 2001 and 40% before 1981 (Census 2022), so most gutters are on their first or second replacement: plastic gutters fitted in the 1980s and 1990s are now brittle, and older houses may still have cast iron.
We cover all of Co. Clare. The largest towns, Census 2022: Ennis (27,923), Shannon (10,256), Sixmilebridge (2,832), Kilrush (2,649), Newmarket-On-Fergus (1,887), Killaloe (1,666).
