“The average air temperature in Ireland over the 30 years up to 2020 was 9.8C – which is 0.7C higher than the previous 30-year period up to 1990 and the rise in temperature was observed across all four seasons.
Rainfall also increased by 7% in those years with the north and west seeing the biggest rise. While the east of the country was wetter, it was not to the same extent.
There was also more sunshine with an average of 63 more hours of sunshine per year – a 5% increase”
