    Any chance of a pic? :)

    Here you go. The first is the view out the back garden complete with howling gale and driving rain over the mountain. The second is the flooded driveway, as much down to lack of maintenance as the weather (we only moved in a few months back.:)) Its about a foot deep there. (Sorry didn't show it in more detail. Don't want to give my location away too much ;))

    To me it looks like its weakening very rapidly, compare 1230 and 1330.

    I've seen fronts weaken as they cross the country a million times but I can't recall seeing one vanish as rapidly as this one :confused:
    Total rainfall: half a millimeter.

    Valentia 31
    Cork Airport 15
    Mace Head 14

    Connaught Airport 9
    Sherkin Island 8
    Roches Point 7
    Finner 6
    Ballyhaise, Gurteen, Shannon Airport 5

    There's no fuss, but 31mm of rain in a 6 hour period is a reasonable amount.

    Have recorded 31mm sofar today here in castletown, i suspect some phantom tipping on the rain gauge, recorded around 10mm around then, but i'd reckon only 2/3mm fell,there was some severe high gusts around midday. Will have to move the rain gauge lower down the pole!

    Was talking more about the stuff that's not on radar yet... satellite shows an awful lot more rainbearing cloud sitting off the s coast...if that front is travelling in a wave, then the rain is not over yet...I just don't know if it's crossing us laterally or along it's axis.

    UK met rainfall predictive sequence is showing heavy rain for rest of day on W and SE coasts and tonight and in to tomorrow.

    Just left Dungiven there to head into Derry and the River Roe is about to burst it's banks. Quite a few saturated fields in these parts as well. Still very wet and windy. Awful day!

    Only 1.0mm of rain recorded here so far today.

    A major casualty of the severe weather today in Cork City is the delaying of the switch on of the Christmas Light in the city centre.

    The South looks like having heavy rain for a further 24hours at least, indeed it will intensify tomorrow again after a lull overnight.

    Flooding looks likely for Cork I would have thought and most of the Southwest

    Latest NAE run shows the rain band wavering up through parts of the southwest & west throughout tomorrow with a possible pep up in intensity towards evening as a slackening area of low pressure approaches the SW coast:

    Same model also shows potential for some heavier rain pushing further east on Saturday before building pressure from the east zaps the front into nothing!

    Western Road's fine at the moment anyway, just a bit of surface water on the road and the river isn't too high. Haven't heard of any flooding in the rest of the city either.
