Abstract

On the 17th and 18th October 2023, Storm Babet brought record rainfall amounts to the south of Ireland leading to significant flooding, with the town of Midleton, County Cork severely impacted. The intense 2-day rainfall fell on soils saturated by over 3 months of above average rainfall. The study, which involved ICARUS along with the World Weather Attribution (WWA) team based in Imperial College London and Met Eireann and was carried out for RTÉ, found that the extreme rainfall that occurred over two days had “an increased intensity of around 13% due to global warming”
