According to the app on my phone it's been raining in Gorey all afternoon. There hasn't been a drop of rain here all day.

Edited as its just started lashing now. So I assume it's down for the night!!!

Christ it’s cold. Easter usually colder than Christmas.

It’s a wet wintry evening in Arklow

6.2c in the rain outside but feels a lot colder

A night for a tall stool

Another colourful sunset in Dublin but this one was brief. Red sky at night, Shepherd's delight… normally the case when high pressure builds from the west but this time the weather system (the rain) is coming from the opposite direction.

Robwindstorm

Ditto That Sryan. Could see the weather building from the east while the sun set in the west.

The acoustics of the flat roof in our bedroom make it sound much worse than it actually is but it has sounded like a full on monsoon here in D3 since around 2330. Supposed to get worse too. Can't remember rain this bad for a long time.

a vile night in Arklow

20.4mm since midnight

Min of 2.6c so Lug is probably plastered if I could see it

Currently 3.4c with a wind gusting near 60kmh making it feel -2.2c on the Davis

Kutebride

Yip snow on Lug.

2⁰ on the hills

Raining at my back door. Wicklow

visibility not great from my location but there’s some on higher ground west of Arklow

Snow level came down to about 200 metres which meant snow ,un forecasted snow fell in populated areas

ClimateObserver

Bitter morning on the Kilkenny-Laois border. No snow on the hills 320m approx, but with temperatures dropping below 4c now it might get wintry up on the hill tops before this system moves off north.

Supercell

Over 28mm of rain so far today, wettest since January 5th when my station recorded 39.8mm, could easily get close to that today.

Snow above hell fire club military road to enniskerry

.Donegal.

Rain might be a bit more extensive than forecast. Turned very heavy just now.

Lovely Bright day in Fota, fair chill in the breeze but sunlight taking the edge off it.

Kutebride

Wow @Meteorite58

Such a contrast across the wee island.

Damp, cold, visibility poor. Wicklow Hills. 5⁰

Meteorite58

Isn't it huge , families having picnics, nice in the shade but cool in the breeze, grand out will take it.

.Donegal.

On WOW Valentia recorded 0.4c last night. Readings for every 30 minutes so I wonder did it make it to 0c in between. It’s mean number of days for an air frost in April is 0.2. A very cold night for there in to the latter half of April.

0.3C was the final low on its synop.

Supercell

Unusually, Dublin area in general was wettest today. At least i wont need to water my hydrangea plants this week.

Gonzo

a very wet and cold day here in Meath, easily the most rain I've seen since the 30+ hour cold rain event in the first week of January.

Kermit.de.frog

If this system had of been 7 weeks earlier it would have been a decent snow event...
