Rain in Limerick
What the gutters carry in Limerick
Limerick city gets about 1,044 mm of rain a year, December the wettest month. Off a 60 m² roof, that's about 62,640 litres a year for the gutters to carry. Abbeyfeale is the wettest of the towns here at 1,342 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 |

| Newcastle West | 1,222 mm | December | 73,320 litres |
| Castleconnell | 1,113 mm | December | 66,780 litres |
| Abbeyfeale | 1,342 mm | December | 80,520 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.
