Lovely afternoon here today with a top temperature of 18.2c

Slight shower at 10am gave me a 0.2mm top up. Breezy throughout the day, though much calmer this evening.

Decent so far but only because of the calming influence of the approaching front. It'll start filling in soon I expect.

Excellant, looking foward to it, easterly winds too, should give a pretty decent amount here .

Sick bastard! :pac:

Brightness hanging on surprisingly well.

did I imagine last nights weather forcast? They said a front would push northwards through the day, its brighter now than at breakfast.

Rain started here at 5.45am.

A lot of rain over the Cork area atm - 6.6mm at Cork AP and 12.0mm at Roches Point between 6 and 7am.

Horsing down with rain here.
The outside of the house is a lake and the rain drops are thousands of splashes in it.

11.2mm so far.
Current rain rate 17mm/hr

Snowbie

8.1mm so far
Wind east circa 10mph
10.9C
Dp 9C
1013mb

Only turned on the pc at circa 9am
It seems to have only taken only some of the data-I don't know why.

Rain rates prior to this are miss ing including the 17mm/hr + rain rate

Davis now recorded 15.5mm rain rate 8.8mm/hr though weather display has 12.7mm
I presume the missing total is the rain prior to starting up WS.
Time for serious update of programme and overhaul I think.
However the now 15.7mm total is the accurate figure.

As I type this has eased to 5.6mm/hr

Snowbie

This does happen BB if starting up during heavy rain. Also check on WD and also on weatherlink that you have 1min uploads intervals.
Your version of WD your using is prehistoric tbh.

I know

Rain rate back up to 12.2mm/hr

Total now 17.5mm

Davis console is now at 18mm
Rain rate is 8.1mm

I added the difference to WD just now so it should rise corresponding to the rain rate.
7.6mm/hr as I type total now 18.3mm

Later today I'll try update w display.I've to go back working in that rain now

Snowbie if you could,would you pm me an exact link to the download for the new WD.
Mines registered obviously so it should be straightfoward and the help thread on the forum too thanks (Brians Forum)

Indeed.

Eased off here now which ties in with the radar showing a small gap.

Down south over wexford there are reds now on the radar all in the flow so I'm expecting heavy rain to start again soon.
