"The bulk of the month’s rainfall fell during two main periods. The first was between Tuesday, June 7 and Saturday, June 11 when two Atlantic low pressure systems passed close to the Northwest of Ireland, one containing the remnants of ex-tropical storm Alex. This brought widespread rain or showers and unseasonably windy conditions," the report adds.
