    Persistent heavy rain in the last hour in Castlebar and quite blustery at times, 10.8mm already.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,752 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Highest gust at my location here in Kilkenny has been 72.4km/hr.

    Brutal day here on the Donegal coast, worst days weather I've seen since in quite a while. Sheets of persistent heavy rain blowing near horizontally in the wind at the moment

    exactly as here in West Mayo. watching the rain sheeting sideways .

    Balmy but breezy conditions in my area of west Cork at the moment. Some rain overnight but nothing since.

    After rain overnight, it dried up in Cork City. Gusts have been getting stronger as the day goes by however and there are dark clouds to the west which I presume are moving in.

    EDIT: Forgot to add that in between the gusts its very humid. School was roasting!

    Spare a thought for those on ferries to/from France: seas rough to very rough, locally high tonight.

    Especially those who have had a load of pints and a tuna sandwich.

    Mountain waves.

    That sheer ferocity has eased a little. Still very windy and still sheeting rain, but that sharp edge has eased; met ie say force 6-7 now whereas it was 8 earlier.

    Can hear myself think again.

    Feeling for anyone who has to be out and about in it .

    Any word on flight disruptions in and out of Cork? Flying in from France tonight. Great 


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    Recent chart of total precipitable water shows the moisture-rich ex-Helene as the yellow 50-mm areas just to our southwest. Joyce is the more circular area down near the Azores.

    Should be no problems.
    Raining here constantly all evening.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,506 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    23.3mm of rain for the day in Castlebar, nothing really out of the ordinary with more interesting weather possibly on the horizon.

    24.7mm SW donegal last 24 hours but that fell in about 6 hours last night but not like we dont get that at other times, tonight could be more worrying

    Total from Helene: 1mm.
    Total for Sept so far at Dublin Airport: 24mm.
    This is the fifth consecutive month of below average rainfall (May-Sept) and April was only a little above average so I am surprised that there aren't overnight water restrictions in my parts yet? There are obviously still high soil moisture deficits in eastern areas.
    If this happens and October is anticyclonic and dry?

    I've a feeling that the hosepipe ban will be extended,Helene brought very little rain to the East last night. Heavy mist being blown on the wind.

    So was Helene a bit of an anti-climax?
    OK so the rain was persistent last night up here in North Donegal, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    West Waterford didn't have an unusual rain/wind. It's was consitent rain and mild wind throughout the night, which is not rare.

    Yesterday was actually a grand day in Galway. There was heavyish rain for about an hour but otherwise it was warm and blustery with the odd shower. I love walking in that weather. Maybe there was a lot of rain last night but it didn't seem so in the morning. A typical Autumn day, nothing more.
