    Drove through some pretty heavy sleet near Brittis(Co. Dublin) last night on the N81 @ 2115 local.

    PS: Just watched the Beeb forecast - Tuesday looks even wetter then today!!:confused:

    Yeah the GFS precip accumulation chart for the coming week shows more of the same for the east coast. Another 86mm predicted for Wicklow but only 2mm for Donegal. Nice to have the roles reversed after such a depressingly grey and wet winter, daytime rainfall has been almost non existent this month

    The rain still hasn't arrived here, should be here soon but it just looks like a bit of drizzle

    Carlow/Kilkenny seems to show an unusual dryness on Rainfall Radar?
    Miracle or malfunction?

    It's in the rain shield of the Wicklow mountains. Run the animation and you will see all the rain falling on the windward (northeast) side of the mountains.

    Oak Park only registered 0.4 mm by 7 pm this evening, whereas Johnstown Castle, Casement and Dublin Airports were 3-5 mm.

    Yeah, my favourite mountain range in Ireland, it does us great favours at times.

    My Davis registered 5.0mm of rain yesterday but it is higher ground, while I know the climate station in Kilkenny had something around 2.0mm which is about 6 miles away from me and is sheltered by the hills to it's east and north.

    Nothing major, we left Cork and went to Knockadoon, this is the best of our catch. If we had stayed at home, we'd have seen virtually nothing from this event.

    Is it just Me,,or are the forecasters at M.E. getting it a bit wrong lately?

    What they are forecasting,and what We are getting seem to be 2 different things...

    I always thought they were accurate enough at about 3 days out..

    Don't kill me if I'm wrong there now...I'm a newbie to the weather thing,although I have a fierce interest in it.

    One can debate forecasts, and Met Eireann have their share of critics, but I think they got it fairly correct recently.

    I've noticed quite a few comments where it was obvious that the posted had not in fact heard a Met Eireann forecast ~ but I did not bother to reply.

    Debate is good, maybe you can think of a specific incident that you have in your mind, what you thought ME forecast and what you got.

    Well,just from the last few days...The 2 "Storms" We were supposed to get..

    Granted,,We got good gusty winds,,but the rainfall was well below what was forecast..

    Hence My post.

    Could be wrong be I don't recall met eireann ever using the word 'storm' in their forecasts over the last few days? In fairness though, some parts of the east coast did get some pretty large amounts of rain going by some of the reports in this thread.

    Anyway, seems to be a small potential for some heavy pulses of rain later tonight or tomorrow morning in parts of the south especially as trough features move up from France. Something to watch anyways.

    Sorry to be a spoilsport and going off weather topic but I have been biting my tongue since watching the video clip and feel I have to comment on the slot from 4.48 onwards. I am trying to be diplomatic here but there is no way given the weather conditions that anyone should have been walking out that pier/jetty.

    That was just an accident waiting to happen as given the weather and sea conditions a freak wave could have swept everyone into the sea, something that has happened close to where I live on more than one occasion.

    Why stand when you can sit...

    No doubt claims the met.E predicted storms came via ramped up, attention grabbing tabloid headlines. Always worth checking the original source of these forecasts in these cases.

    Much more rain around Dublin today as compared to Sunday - plenty of localised flooding starting to emerge too.
