Totally lashing here in donegal town. Heaviest rain this year so far. And that's saying something considering it's the end of June.

Rain getting a bit heavier here now. Total so far today on 8.6mm. Will it make it to the 9.0mm before midnight??????

C'mon!

Edit: 9.1mm pre midnight total. Month total finished on 33.5mm, a little under 50% of the monthly average. 5th below average month regarding rainfall this year!!

Confirmed rain sprinkling here

It's been sprinkling on/off for the past few hours. If was any lighter I'd just say it's quite humid.
