Ireland and the UK officially measure rain in mm. The UK officially measures snow in cm (mm may also be used) and I am sure that Ireland is the same. Unofficially inches are still in use by the public just as Fahrenheit persists. Government web authors should certainly respond positively to requests for metric units. www.met.ie/climate/rainfall.asp www.metoffice.com/construction/pastdata2.html#rands
