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

It has been pretty mild the last few months, July/Aug/Sept were all above LTAs.

40.4mm from 01.30 to 10.30 this morning here near Tralee, been more or less dry since.

Caused flooding in and around Tralee with one area of town around Boherbee worst affected with around 12 or 13 homes having to put up defenses, think a few of them had water get into the houses .

IMO Looks worst than it actually will be. Windy on coasts but nothing excessive , breezy overland, bit windy on elevated ground ,looks wettest in the far W and parts of coastal Kerry. Could be blustery in some of the big showers around the coasts.

Not remotely surprised. It's not raining at all as heavy as it was around 9pm but it's now just raining constantly. The usual places that are known to flood in cork city and around surely have to be in danger of flooding.

It's still raining in cork city. Nothing else to say really.

Yeah 6.6mm there the past hour

Parts of Cork and Tipp have seen between 45 and 60mm today and late yesterday all told

Unreal readings to the west of here across in Tipperary. We've had 0.4mm in South Laois since 10am this morning bringing the total to 6.4mm for the midnight to midnight run.

This table shows the rainfall totals so far for this October (1st-14th) for all of the reporting Met Éireann stations. Ordered by wettest to driest and includes percentages totals of the October average for each station:



Wet to very wet in most places and overall, and with an average national total of 73.5mm, it has proved to be wettest opening 2 weeks of October since 2008.

Other notably wet first halves of October include:
1976: 84.3mm
1990: 82.7mm
2008: 80.6mm
1983: 79.3mm
1977: 75.5mm

In contrast, 1991 was the driest for period with a total of just 9.4mm over the same period.


All data from Met Éireann.

Was there a name for the system that caused spot flooding in Cork and on the M8? Seems to me that naming storms probably isn't all that useful here.

We have to be due a prolonged dry spell at some stage this winter imo
Will begin to average out surely
