Rain in Laois
What the gutters carry in Laois
Portlaoise gets about 938 mm of rain a year, October the wettest month. Off a 60 m² roof, that's about 56,280 litres a year for the gutters to carry. Mountmellick is the wettest of the towns here at 941 mm, Portarlington the driest at 894 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.
| Town | Rain a year | Wettest month | Off a 60 m² roof |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portlaoise | 938 mm | October | 56,280 litres |
| Portarlington | 894 mm | October | 53,640 litres |
| Mountmellick | 941 mm | October | 56,460 litres |
| Abbeyleix | 915 mm | October | 54,900 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.
