    Them 3 hour forecasts are generally useless. All day yesterday they showed very little rain ANYWHERE in Ireland despite a met warning being issued. Even looking at that one and the current radar I'd expect it actually to shift east in reality

    Met.ie all over the shop with their forecasts. Never a big fan of rain but if we do get it, itd bettet be biblical.

    It hasn't even started yet for those of us in the capital. There seems to be a lot of heavy rain just coming into the radar range to the south.

    Just abit of light rain here on and off, the radar what have you believe it is lashing all over the country.

    The real extreme pulse of rain is yet to push into the south, so hold your judgement yet.

    Interesting also, the latest 6z GFS throws up some very intense rain for the east Monday evening.

    raining away nicely coming from an Easterly direction which is unusual as normally the heavy prolonged stuff comes in off the SW..

    Because of the wind direction I can have my back door open to appreciate this. :)

    I'd say just moderate rain in Cork city at the moment. High tide will be around 3, so I'll wonder down town and see how the Lee is dong around then.

    Edit: The rain now bordering on heavy. It's getting darker now too, I need the light on in the sitting room!

    The warning was for localised floods. Not a flood on your doorstep. Looks like you and I are both in a clearing at the moment before the next batch of the heavy stuff comes.

    Raining moderate to heavy here in south Dublin now, just pushed a broken down car and got a right soaking in less than 5 minutes. I too have heard on the radio that the weather should be showers clearing, what are they taking out at the met these days? Better than what I'm taking anyways with that forcast!
