    That rain in waterford/wexford is just a shower. The serious rain from this storm doesn't start for hours yet.

    Only if you see them floating past Hookhead lighthouse on the one o'clock news. ;)

    On a serious note, tell them to take sensible precautions and they should hopefully be fine.

    There's a few short and sharp showers coming in off the sea here but it's still calm for now apart from that, not expecting much here yet.

    Looking at raintoday.co.uk it looks as though that shower in Waterford/Wexford was a little pre-cursor to the main event.

    I'd say you'll see the rain moving in on radar by about 5ish

    Dont be worried. They should be fine. It will be a little loud from the rain hitting the metal but thats all.
    I did the bauld Hurricane Charles in a mobile....I remember the excitement of it!!

    Completely still here in Bray ... eerily so. I wonder if what they say about 'the calm before the storm' is scientific? :eek:
