Rainfall, however, was highest in the east and the south of the country.
Dublin Airport experienced 255% of its normal February rainfall, making it the wettest February on record at the airport.
It was a similar experience at Dublin's Phoenix Park which had its second wettest February on record with two-and-a-half times its normal rainfall for the month.
Dunsany in Co Meath also recorded its second wettest February on record.
In addition to heavy rainfall, the east of the country experienced particularly low sunshine amounts.

This was the lowest February sunshine at Casement Aerodrome in records stretching back for 62 years.
Much lower-than-average sunshine amounts were also recorded at Dublin Airport which experienced its dullest February since 1947 with 36.6 hours of sunshine recorded there.
It was dull everywhere, however.
