Yes there are some notable rain shadows showing up on the radar, with a particularly obvious one in eastern Kildare and southwestern Dublin. There was one to the northwest of the Magillacuddy Reeks too earlier, and another around the Burren.

I'm literally a few kilometres away from the rain shadow. Driving past Leixlip and Maynooth on the M4 and it was bone dry and I had wipers fully off. Only as I approached my exit at Kilcock did I see the first few drops of rain. Less than a km up the Enfield Road and it regular rain. By the time I turned onto the back road to home, the rain was moderate to heavy and there were streams of water rolling down the sides of the road. From the point of no rain to persistent moderate to fairly heavy rain is less than 5km distance as the crow flies. My hubby was driving back to Maynooth a little while ago and it was dry there still about a half hour ago. Meanwhile I can clearly hear the rain on the roof here!

And I've only recorded 1.0 mm here in Celbridge.

Only about 15km from you. I don't have rainfall readings but I can tell you that is most definitely many multiples of 1mm!

Plenty of spot flooding beginning to emerge across areas of Dublin.

18.8mm In Ashford, absolutely relentless sheets of the wet stuff for the last opulent of hours

Any chance of thunder and lightning in Cork tonight?

gbee

No chance. Strengthening winds, continued rain no real extremes, and we have low CAPE.
