This Cork town became the wettest place in Ireland 20 years ago today according to Met Éireann
But it's being remembered in all its sodden glory this week as the forecaster marks 20 years since 112.9mm of rain fell in Macroom – on July 23, 2005. It was a deluge that has crowned the town as the wettest place in the month of July across Ireland since records began in 1942. Historically rainfall was measured by gauges which collect rain using a funnel with an upper diameter of 127mm and 305mm above ground. In July 1955, Glanmire near Cork city had the lowest monthly precipitation ever recorded with a measly 0.7mm. The highest monthly precipitation in December was recorded in Gernapeka in Cork, with 943.5mm. The highest sustained wind speed within a 10-minute mean recorded in August, October and December was also recorded in Cork. 111km/h was recorded on July 19, in August 2020 during Storm Ellen at Cork's Roches Point, which is the highest record since 1942. The highest gust of wind (3 seconds) was also recorded in the same place during Storm Ellen, with 143km/h. 115km/h was recorded in Cork on October 16, 2017 during Storm Ophelia and 126km/h was logged on Christmas Eve in 1997. Cork has also dealt with the some of the highest and lowest mean sea level pressure (hPa) readings over the years. Cork had the highest hPa twice which are: 1,042.4hPa at Cork Airport on May 12, 2012, and 1,043.8 hPa on Sherkin Island on October 22 in 2018. The lowest hPa for Ireland from Cork include: 942.3 hPa in Midleton on February 4, 1951 and 942.8 hPa at Cork Airport on December 17 in 1989. Three of the highest monthly total sunshine recordings since 1942 were also witnessed in Cork. 118.4 hours at Cork Airport in 2010, 247.7 hours at Sherkin Island also in 2010 and 116.1 hours at Cork Airport in 2016 are the highest statistics for those months. On the flip side, Fermoy in February 1985 recorded just 18.6 hours of sunshine while Sherkin Island recorded a low of 2.8 hours in December 2015. The statistics are from The Weather Extreme Records for Ireland, which are available to view on

Council grants Cork Airport permission to extend car parking facilities
Planning permission has been granted to expand car parking at Cork Airport to help relieve the pressure on existing facilities that are 'regularly at full capacity'. Cork Airport applied for permission in May to add an additional 669 spaces to the Holiday Blue Long-Term Car Park at Cork Airport, increasing the number of spaces on that site by almost one third. A recent Red C research poll had shown that the private car is the 'predominant' mode of transport accessing the airport which was 'unsurprising given the existing public transport provision'. 'The airport is well served by the N27 and also the 226 and the 225 bus routes,' planning documents said. 'These are both hourly services meaning there is a bus to the city every 30 minutes, however they don't commence until 6am and therefore miss staff and the first wave of passengers who need to be at the airport at circa 4.30am. 'The bus service also misses the later arrivals as services cease at midnight. In addition, bus services do not extend into the wider airport catchment.' Cork Airport has just over 4,500 long and short-term parking spaces currently. This includes 633 short-term car parking spaces at the multi-storey car park and a further 1,673 in the Express Red car park. Car parking, therefore, was described as an 'integral and essential part' of the airport's transport infrastructure. The planning document said: 'It is noted that during the recent Easter weekend the car park's occupancy was 101.8%. There were a number of cars parked on kerbs to avoid turning passengers away. 'Given the lack of public transport options, extending the Holiday Blue Car Park needs [to be] prioritised in the short term, in the interests of passenger safety, comfort and convenience.' The planning application received one submission, from the Ballinaspig-Firgrove-Westgate Residents Association, a collection of housing estates off the Curraheen Road in Bishopstown. The residents expressed concerns at increasing air traffic over Bishopstown and said that noise pollution carries health risks. However, Cork City Council decided to grant planning permission for the car park expansion. Read More Cork Airport named best in Europe for third time

Aer Lingus announces three new flight routes from Dublin and Cork airports
New winter routes are set to take off from Dublin and Cork during airline's winter schedule Aer Lingus has announced new winter flights from Cork Airport to Geneva and Prague, as well as a new seasonal route from Dublin to Turin. The three are on sale now with fares from €49.99 each-way, the airline said. Flights from Dublin Airport to Turin will operate weekly from December 21 to March 29, offering access to the ski resorts of Italy's Piedmont region. These include Via Lattea (The Milky Way), Pila in the Aosta Valley and Bardonecchia. From Cork, flights to Geneva will operate once weekly from December 20 to March 28. A popular city break, the Swiss destination also links skiers with resorts like Morzine and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. The Prague service will run from October 23 to March 26, with two flights a week on Thursdays and Sundays from Cork. Cork Airport said Aer Lingus also plans to increase the frequency of its Lyon route to a twice-weekly service, operating from December 20 to March 28. It follows news that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will add a third-daily service from Cork to Amsterdam Schiphol over certain periods this winter.

Photo: David Creedon "Winter breaks or 'coolcations' are growing in popularity among Irish consumers,' noted Susanne Carberry, chief customer officer at Aer Lingus. The announcements follow another new Aer Lingus route announcement, from Dublin Airport to Cancun in Mexico. It will operate for four months from January 6. The airline is currently at the peak of its busy summer schedule, and has been advising customers to drop off bags the evening before they fly at both airports following 'an exceptionally busy" period for the airline at Dublin. The seasonal service allows customers booked on early flights (between 5.30am and 8am) to drop off their bags at certain times the evening before travel. Last month was the busiest ever June for passenger numbers at both Dublin and Cork, and Aer Lingus saw a 10pc rise in the number of its customers checking in for early-morning departures compared to the same period last year. Cork Airport recently launched a €200 million capital development programme to enable it to cater for over five million passengers in years to come.
