I recorded 25.3mm of rain in Galway yesterday at my home station can anyone tell me was that accurate , that was from around 7am until yesterday evening

Sounds about right


In great news for all who are sick of me complaining about the rain in athenry I no longer live there (will still be up around there a good bit though )

I have relocated to Sunny South Mayo
Most of my updates will be from there now
It’s a fairly elevated side exposed to w/sw
So the wind not the rain is now my enemy

You are a glutton for punishment!
S. Mayo is statistically duller, wetter, cooler, and as you say, windier than Athenry. :P

But good luck with the move.

The weather station in UCG recorded 27.6mm yesterday, while the Met station in Terryland, which is basically on the other side of the bridge from the college, recorded 26.1mm.

This link: https://wow.met.ie/stations/20191015aku986xxpae6uqdnyyb96scn9e

is for the Terryland station operated by Met Eireann. It should be quite good for calibrating with if you live in/around the city.

Its unreal the amount of rainfall since August. So glad I'm in the east couldnt cope with all the rain in west.

To think there were people on boards last year panicking about the drought + freaking out that yearly rainfall totals would drop dramatically in Ireland.

I hope they are reading this thread!

The reason some people were panicking as you say yourself is because their livelihoods depended on it,grass wasn't growing cuz of the drought and it was costing big money to fodder cattle,I don't remember anyone looking for lots of rain,just enough to get grass growing

Indeed
But it’s a much dryer site so it won’t have to be a military planned operation to cut the lawn every week !
And it’s mayo

You'll soon learn that Athenry is a tropical paradise in comparison. ��

I'll join you going against the grain.

More so because we're going into an enso neutral period but also because there's more cold water in the eastern Pacific that could push us into a La Nina.
And we had a La Nina in 2010 when we had our cold winter and we had wavy jetstreams then as are now being forecasted on the long range on the gfs. And it was a solar minimum time too as now.
There's northerlies and easteries being forecasted on the same forecast too.
So I'll throw my hat in the ring but go for an early winter.

Going for a very early winter End of October. Models now showing up something of a potent cold blast . It has happened before October 2003 springs to mind.

Monsoonal conditions in Arklow currently with just wind
Will post the rain rate when I get to the console but it must have been big
Still raining heavy and it's quite dark

My Google wallpaper is showing very interesting cloud formations around Ireland at the moment.

It will be cold at the end of October and start of November then milder

I dont forsee much out of the ordinary bar the cold end of this month and some storms in December. But every year is different but dont ya know if theres snow it will be the same as the record breaking Summer just gone and ignore Ireland and move to Britain and Europe

I think you are going to be spot on with that prediction.

Judging by the ME radar, theres a heavy shower right over us at the minute, theres a bit of cloud but not a drop of rain, and the sun is about to come out again

Was out for a run on the old N11 around Jack Whites when that cell came over the hills to the west- biblical rain and wind really picked up as it approached. was a tad damp afterwards!
