    Rainfall area on the radar visibly shrinking, though still raining here for another hour or two from the looks of it. Not a day to be outside, roads are deserted!

    Just 10.6mm since midnight here. In fairness to met eireann they got their numbers fairly right but i always thought including Waterford in the warning was not warranted. Hence my ballpark prediction of 15 to 20mm from last night not too far out.

    AA Roadwatch reporting that M1 southbound is closed between J4 Donabate and J2 Dublin Airport due to flooding. Was out driving myself around 8:30pm and conditions were very bad and still deteriorating. It's a night to be staying in people!

    Can't blame them for erring on the side of caution for somewhere only 10s of km away from the "epicentre".

    Is this on a par with October 2011? Just looking at the rainfall figures posted, and its still monsoon out since I last posted 3 hours ago! The rainfall radar has had Dublin at the epicentre of this all eve!

    Nice sting in the tail for the west - http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

    Edit: it looks to be breaking up a bit over Galway.

    Still tipping here in North Dub, would be some flooding if the ground wasn't very dry. Amazing how these things alway pretty much equal themselves out. Thank god for our Climate!

    Weather has picked up big time in Castlebar, gone from being calm all day to very stormy and torrential rain in a matter of minutes.

    It's a bit of rain and you'll be fine so long as you take it handy and your car's tyres are legal.

    We had a few showers in Achill around 8.30pm but since then it has been dry and windy.

    Really can't believe we're missing all the rain-not that I'm complaining.

    Still raining here in Dublin this morning. Looking at radar, and the position of that low, there could rain on and off for quite a while!

    Ah, now I see why MT name-checked Bray in particular yesterday. The circulation still arcing across the country is still aimed directly at Bray. :D

    That said, after yesterday evening the Dublin Mountains have soaked up the bulk of it before it got to us. Sporadic rain since yesterday evening as opposed to constant as it would look on rain today unless one zoomed in.

    We needed it though tbh. Most rain since mid June has missed us or been not worth a damn by the time it got to us, even the big storm a few weeks ago.
