We knew it was dry. But July ended up with only 75.2 mm of rain compared with a LTA of 111.6 mm and 130 mm last year. It was comparable to what we had in 2024 (80.8 mm). The temperature in July was also considerably warmer at 16.8C compared with 15.5 LTA. Mean soil temperature at 18.2 was also the warmest it has been in the last four years. I still cannot access the Met Éireann data from my laptop, so I'll just provide the link here.
