Big hail shower here, covered the road in white for the first time this Autumn / Winter

tylercollins · 13-11-2015 9:17pm

Snow on the hills of Donegal today with some fantastic light about.

maquiladora · 14-11-2015 12:34am

Huge rainfaill totals by 6am Sunday morning in places here (Hills/mountains in Galway, Mayo, Donegal.). 200mm. There will be flash flooding and a risk of landslides on high ground if this is correct. A lot less on lower levels obviously.

JCX BXC · 14-11-2015 12:37am

Galway added to the orange warning, up to 80mm on mountains according to the warning.

Schadenfreudia · 14-11-2015 12:26pm

Overnight low 6.6C, currently 7.7C - wet (so far 5.2mm), very overcast/cloudy/dull and a light breeze.

JCX BXC · 14-11-2015 1:46pm

So snow from the 21st? Typical! Will probably miss it all

Far too early to say. At this stage, it looks like potential for a cool down with wintry showers next weekend, northern parts and high ground obviously most likely to see any snow.

Before anything it looks like we'll have plenty of heavy rain next week and maybe some more strong winds at times.

Rock Lesnar · 14-11-2015 2:12pm

Waterlogged field beside the house after the rain this morning, pond across the road is full again and the ducks on it are delighted, me, i hate it, come back dry weather, come back

maquiladora · 14-11-2015 2:19pm

Latest UK Met Office warning update mentions up to 250mm on high ground. They are one notch away from a red warning on their warning matrix. Looks like similar amounts could be experienced here over high ground in the west/northwest, and this is just up until 6pm tomorrow. More wet weather to follow after this.

JCX BXC · 14-11-2015 3:25pm

Hmm unusually strong winds here in west clare yet no wind warning at all!

Oscar Bravo · 14-11-2015 3:34pm

I can safely say the wettest day here in Castlebar in a long long time, its very dark, heavy and persistent rain all day with flooding on the cards.

Yeah I'm a little surprised there's no wind warning. Nothing severe but inland gusts up to 100 km'h look possible.

JCX BXC · 14-11-2015 3:49pm

Met Eireann's criteria for a yellow warning is the following :"Mean Speeds between 50 and 65 km/h
Gusts between 90 and 110 km/h"

If the map above is accurate, then by ME's own criteria there should be a yellow warning.

At 1712: wind at SNN is 30kts mean speed, or 55.5km/h. Fairly well within the yellow criteria.

were certainly making up for the relatively dry period of June-early November with more rain in the past week than what Ive seen in half a year. Garden and fields behind me are very wet, large pools of water in places.

Oneiric 3 · 14-11-2015 4:01pm

Has become pretty wild here in the last 15 mins with plenty of clatterings and bangings outside

Hooter23 · 14-11-2015 4:02pm

Fairly heavy rain in Galway now you wouldn't think it from looking at the radar winds picking up also

Yeah we live at the bottom of a field, so the water can gather and theres a lot of water lying after this morning, 1st time in about 3 years iv'e seen it happening.

Oscar Bravo · 14-11-2015 4:21pm

Newport way out in front in terms of rainfall totals on the 1500 reports, 11.0 mm's, knock airport and belmullet following

JCX BXC · 14-11-2015 5:45pm

Some furious gusts here in west clare atm.

Torrential rain in Galway City today, has gotten worse as the day went along. Lots of roads flooded. A cruel day.

Storm 10 · 14-11-2015 6:28pm

Unreal day in Galway ok today monsoon conditions, Rescue 118 from Sligo landed at UHG in terrible conditions it's still there and looking at the radar could be here for a while yet, these guys are just brilliant at what they do bringing in patients for life saving treatment .
