Heavy rainfall alert: Fri 11th - Mon 14th Sept

M.T. Cranium · 2015-09-10 17:31:12

I was going to post a LEVEL 1 alert but numerical guidance from several global models are indicating potential for 50 or even 60 mm rainfalls between Friday early morning and Saturday mid-day.

It's a bit all over the place though. That other thread is for B]Model/Technical Discussion Only[/B and Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Spring/Summer 15 . They are 2 seperate topics. Merging them into the same thread is just confusing. Anyway back on topic no rain since this morning.

Mad to see all the reports of torrential rain and flash floods. Dry here today in Naas with just a few drops of rain. Very threatening skies though!

Sunny all day yesterday and today up here in North Donegal.

Blue skies all day with very light white clouds. Zero rain.

Not often we miss the worst of the weather.

Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

Checked the manual gauge just now and picked up another 3.8mm since 08.00 so that gives the following totals:

Ardfert, Co.Kerry

26.2mm since midnight
56.2mm for event ( midnight Sat to Midnight Mon 14-09-15 )
134.2mm since 18.00 Thurs 10-09-15

Rain never far away today, showers of various strength and duration, the place is truly sodden from the last few days rain with much standing water in fields and many reports of roads flooded locally this morning, amazing how quick large amounts of rainwater can cut up the roads, dodging the pot holes today!

Becoming drier this evening and near calm , possibly pick up another shower.

( will edit if further rain this evening )

I'll post another map for Sunday-Monday totals (Tuesday afternoon probably) so be sure to post yours in this thread. Thanks. Some of your websites store the daily totals so I can get them indirectly, saves me some work if you do get a chance to post them.

Then I will create a map that adds the first storm to this second event and we'll have a record of the four day (plus a bit of Thursday in west) totals.

Totals here (Kilternan, South Dublin)

11th - 18.8mm
12th - 4.8
13th - 5.8
14th - 1.0

(Amazing how 1mm of drizzle can give a dull damp day from early morning to late afternoon)

This rain event has caused the cancellation of Listowel races for today and tomorrow. The racecourse is waterlogged. They are hoping hold the races on Wednesday where there is an important feature race The Kerry National.
