"The unrelenting downpour to date has left thousands of acres of farmland under floodwater across Munster, Leinster and south Ulster because of rivers breaking their banks."
"Temperatures for March are forecast to be unusually high for this time of year too, with Met Éireann signalling that they are 'likely to trend between 0.2 and 1.0°C above average generally'."
"However, a band of rain will move into western counties before spreading slowly northeastwards over the afternoon and revisiting all parts of the country in the evening."
The national weather service reports that rain has occurred at weather stations daily throughout the year and will persist until the end of next month. This continuous precipitation has resulted in thousands of acres of farmland being submerged under floodwater across Munster, Leinster, and south Ulster due to rivers overflowing their banks. March temperatures are expected to be unusually warm, trending 0.2 to 1.0°C above historical averages. The immediate forecast shows today beginning with dry, bright spells and mild temperatures between 6-10°C, followed by a band of rain moving into western areas and spreading northeastwards. Tomorrow, the first day of meteorological spring, will bring showers and wind, becoming wetter and windier, particularly in southern and western regions.
