Very very windy in Cork now...It's dry though...Sunshine,broken cloud.

This thread will probably stop,or come to a a boring end when this storm blows over.

Never anything exciting about warm sunny weather.

The wind has been very impressive during the night and still this morning, little more rain has fallen though, so the ground is deginning to dry out.

I believe most global warming theorists call this phenomenon, "weather":p

Spheric recorded just south of Kilkenny town. Anyone to confirm?

Didn't hear or see anything, but the power went all over south kilkenny for a while around that time last night.

I've just realised that three weather station software gives me different events and times, particularly frustrating as they should not adjust for anything except the temperature.

Almost no rain overnight, none caught my dishes are empty.
My max wind was 42.9km/h Approx 09:00 to 09:18

I was woken a few times with the wind and what sounded like lashing rain, great, I love the curtains blowing.

Www.galwaycityweather.com might be of some help. It's run by one of our own.

Danno

A whopping 41.5mm in the gauge at 10am. Storm total at 46.9mm.

Still raining lightly. Blustery too.

Still wet and windy in Castlebar.

Over 40 mm in east Galway and still raining lightly. Not really windy . But AWFUL depressing weather for June

cherryghost

Been raining heavily since 8 last night. Stopped for an hour before that and before that it was pretty much raining all day. Don't have a gauge here unfortunately but our driveway is about 3cm deep in water

That will all flow into the Shannon won't it?
At the stage it's not a question of IF the Shannon floods but just how bad will it be. It usually take a few days for the run-off to reach the river.
33mm for me so far.

pauldry

up to 60mm in Sligo now in 25hours. Still a few more hours left.

Had my rain gauge 5 years (yes its lasted long) and the previous record was 46mm in Sligo in July 2007 thunderstorms

Paul, I think you need a temporary change of username to PaulWet
Still bucketing down here in Laois, expecting the clearance to come in the next hour or two as the system moves off in a north east direction.
