For nearly 2 weeks, a "blocking high" over the UK prevented Atlantic fronts from reaching Ireland, giving me 13 days dry sunshine and wind from the South-East. On 29 May the first of these fronts finally got through, giving gentle rain. People in the South of Ireland had been praying for rain. The Irish Times said:
"1 June 1990: Warmest May on record, particularly in West and South, and below average rain"
