- 996 mmin Charleville, the driest
- 359 mmfalls on the city from October to December
Cork is wet and mild, which is what moss wants. It grows on the north side of a roof all winter, lets go in heavy rain and rolls into the gutter, where it packs the outlets. The leaves come down in October and November, and then the wettest weeks arrive: 118 mm in October, 117 mm in November and 124 mm in December in the city.
West of the city it is wetter again. Dunmanway gets 1,763 mm a year and Bantry 1,611 mm, against 996 mm in Charleville. The more rain a gutter carries, the sooner a half-blocked outlet turns into water down the wall.
