    Nice little quick and easy rainfall radar which has better coverage of the NW.

    I really wonder if I get a wetter than normal December by Sunday already. I am at 53% of the LTA (full month of December's rainfall total) from the rain of yesterday.

    Desmond ? What a stupid name for a storm.

    Other planned future names for storms from the UK met office :

    Nigel, Henry, Steve.

    Maybe they are saving these names for the wet ones.

    We're clearly enticing these storms by naming them.

    Did you submit any names during the public consultation period for when the storm names were chosen?

    I did but it wasn't picked, not even an acknowledgement

    5.0mm Ardfert since 18.00

    Modest beginnings but continuing for 30 hours approx should give a fair amount.

    There will be some run off from the mountains....

    Good to be living on high ground in very wet times.

    That said, this year has been drier than normal in the south east, my location: 280mm less rainfall than last year so far and down 100mm on previous year- but maybe it will be a very wet month.

    1.6 mm so far.

    looks to be easing for a little while
    I've been watching predictive runs etc for 2 days
    that run of really heavy rain across the centre was not on them......heaviest rain had been kept across west/Northwest .........
