Has calmed down, skies have cleared and is warming up for the time being.

Can put away the Halloween mask - am thinking of moving abroad anyhow; the oh so typical climate here and myself are non too compliant.

Nasty start to the day here in Kildare. Rain driving against the window. Reminds me of a typical wet day in the Whest.

Edit: Rain just got even heavier!

kippy

Rain bucketing down here in Galway for the past while. Skies are dark, dull.
Not looking good for those heading to Ballybrit later in the day!

On the plus side, it's calm......

06 z run of GFS showing promise now as well with higher pressures starting to build in the Atlantic as we move further through the run.

Hopefully its still too early to write off August

Just about to arrive here. Very low level line of scud in the leading edge...only a couple of hundred feet above, I would estimate. VERY fast moving

Quite short but amazingly heavy shower just passed through. Has overwhelmed the gutters as water is just pouring all over the place from them. Blue sky overhead less than 30 seconds after it stopped. Talk about short and sharp!

Lovely scuds, nearly hitting the roofs. Got a nice juicy 2.4 mm from it. Nice strong gust front too.

I drove through it, the M7 was reduced to 40kph, crazy monsoon like rain.
