Suns out now in Arklow after a very wet morning

Gonzo

back to a familiar sight of a water logged driveway and garden. We've had so much rain since September 20th, it doesn't take much rainfall to flood the place.

Not much point having Wicklow in it so far anyway
Suns peeping in Arklow
Just 2.4mm so far

Gonzo

pouring rain here at Dunshaughlin yet again. 3 weeks of very wet conditions in a row now and what is turning into a prolonged unsettled spell.

We had 4 consecutive drier than average Octobers from 2015 to 2018 so a wet October was more than overdue to me.

Mortelaro

October last year was very wet in Arklow
As was November
This ones dryer even though its wet!
Suns out here at the moment
Cloud on hills to the west like lead though

SleetAndSnow

Heavy rain in cork city, drains all blocked with leaves so plenty of flooding around the place as we drive. Crazy, should be cleared when a warning is given.

unfortunately it's arrived off the back of a wet August and extremely wet September. Fingers crossed for a dry November, if these downpours continue all the way to December there could be some substantial flooding as time goes on.

Rotten morning in cork city, been raining for about 20 minutes (possibly more during the night) and looks like it will continue all afternoon. Heavy enough too

Dont you mean 20 hours?

Nearly 18mm of rain so far in Castlebar and 110mm for the month, we have only had 3 sub 100mm Octobers in 33 years.

1993, 2015 and 2016.

Worst day in a long time

Gonzo

Dunsany is already sitting at 49.3mm up to yesterday, so that doesn't include last night or today's downpours. Plenty more rain to come over the next 1 to 2 weeks so 100mm will probably be achieved here for the 3rd month in a row.

If that happens, I'm certain it's fairly rare for Dunsany to achieve 3 consecutive months of more than 100mm of rain per month.

Not bad in Kildare now with the sun shining

Wouldn't be surprised if there is or will be flooding in parts where the rain is persistent.
When we get bits of the rain here in Kilkenny, it is very heavy, so it can;t be good where the colours are showing heavy, persistent rain.

Unreal rain in tipp the last few hours,absolutely bucketing down,fields saturated to the last

November has one of the highest-lowest monthly rainfall records so not very hopeful for it personally. November 2018 was bad enough (although not record breaking) for wet conditions so something drier at least here is more likely than not I’d say. I won’t hold my breath though..

Currently dry in Dublin after overnight rain with peaks of the sun.

Am I correct in thinking we had very wet conditions before it turned very cold in 2009. wishful thinking I know

It was indeed. Pretty bad flooding in places especially the midlands and west.

Artane2002

Very wet followed by very cold
No thanks
We deserve a prolonged dry and mild spell now after 3 months of absolute ****e
Is it ok to write off the summer yet?

Rivers in some parts of the country(especially the Shannon) must be fairly high now in comparison to what they usually would be at this time of the year

Totally agree. Dry and Mild would be just what the doctor ordered!
