That is some blast of rain to the west of us
STAY WEST

Blustery but nothing exceptional here near Tralee gusting around 60 km/h. Winds have been a bit under what was showing in the models so far I think.

Malin gust 94 kn/h

Valentia got up to 76km/h a couple of times
Casement 76km/h

Ah no wasn't asking for proof, was just interested if it was possible to see how much had fallen in the city!

Might need to invest in a station.

Shakey_jake · 16-04-2018 08:16PM

Mad windy in d13

Wouldnt want to be taking off in that

Oneiric 3 · 16-04-2018 08:18PM

Meteorite58 · 16-04-2018 08:20PM

Plenty of rain to come.

Yes but remember all ogimets don't always match met eireann s but usually close enough

The 6pm total of 30mm includes some of yesterday's rain from 6pm to midnight

madmaggie · 16-04-2018 10:46PM

Gone very windy with heavy rain here in south Carlow in the last 10 minutes.

pauldry · 16-04-2018 10:51PM

Still averaging 4mm per hr in Valentia

So prob 45mm there now

They will break 50mm

Many places like Cork and Roches Pt will see 30mm and parts of West.

Xenji · 16-04-2018 10:52PM

We have had just over 23mm of rain in Castlebar since 10.00 with no let up, say we could top 30mm by morning.

Had light rain here most of the day. From six on its been raining heavily and winds picked up here in south sligo. Tis a night for an open fire.

Tis coming down here in West Clare. There's no drought anyway! Current rate of 14mm/h, with a regular rate if about 4-7mm/h past few hours.

One or two gusts are starting to make my house Creek here in Cork City, they have gotten stronger that's for sure. The rain is still coming down heavily for the last few hours now.

Very windy now up along the west coast. Belmullet gusting 55 knots on the 11am met reports.

Yes very windy today

Like Autumn.

Still haven't really had Spring yet.

Only two weeks till Summer (according to some people)

And there's a possibility of wintry showers then

17-04-2018 11:27AM

Must be a West coast thing. Its lovely and sunny here in Louth , windy but getting warmer as the day goes on. Bring it on :-)
