Editing Rosslare Strand (section)

==Climate==
Rosslare is commonly known in Ireland as being in the "Sunny South-East", and in 1959 Rosslare recorded 1,996.4 hours of sunshine, the highest recorded in Ireland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.piffs.com/piffsinfos.htm |title=Forest Management In The Irish Climate Contd |publisher=Piffs.com |access-date=2015-10-18}}</ref> However, it is not the warmest or driest place in Ireland.

Met Éireann operated a weather station at Rosslare until its closure in 2007. Sunshine duration for the county is now recorded at the [[Johnstown Castle]] weather station, which has been operational since 2009. However, due to its inland location, Johnstown Castle receives considerably less sunshine than Rosslare.
