Margaret O’Connor, from Meenleitrim, Knocknagoshel, got in touch after hearing yesterday’s interview with Gerry Murphy of the National Parks and Wildlife Service who records rainfall at the Muckross weather station in Killarney National Park. Margaret’s grandfather started recording rainfall in their area in the 1940s and it’s a tradition continued to this day by Margaret. Every month she sends a report to Met Éireann.
