    Wife reports its raining hard in Drogheda.

    Can I ask what sat feed are you lot looking at for live data? I would like to see if this will clear up for my motorbike ride home.

    Based on what I can see on http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ it looks pretty serious.

    It seems to be moving slowly - I'm afraid that when it finally reaches Cork it'll be nothing more than a heavy mist:(

    Things have changed utterley in the past 15 mins, wind has shifted due west and become sustained strong, the squall line has hit and is torrential, has to be 10mm/hr rate at the moment, though may not last for long, surface water gone from nothing to inundating the drains in about the same time

    It's starting in Kilmainham now - it's gotten much darker suddenly and it's raining at a 45 degree angle. I'm the only eejit sitting in the office with the window open : )

    Edited to say OMG : ) It just arrived properly. That's quite a nice piece of weather!

    Nice rain. Wind not so great in the end but it was a cool sight all the same watching it approach and darken the skies.

    North County Dublin seems to be getting the stronger echoes now, has quietened down here to a standard issue wet and breezy day, light to moderate rain, wind W force 3 or 4

    I guess if it were 34C on the great plains we would have got a tornado or two out of that!
