Almost 1,500 homes without power here in Co. Cork this morning.

60mm of rain last night here in Roundwood! Was badly needed anyway.

PukkaStukka · 09-08-2019 06:57AM

I slept soundly in North Dublin. Did I miss anything?

More torrential downpours in West cork with strong gusts! Just got woken up by it

Stallingrad · 09-08-2019 07:03AM

Have them, it's the noise of the rain pounding them all night long.

Thunder and rain woke me 0430am.
Was not expecting to see sunshine this morning. Meath. Delighted, for a road trip today.

Trebor176 · 09-08-2019 07:44AM

Not as nasty as I thought, but things did cone to fruition. I was woken a bit after three by a faint rumble in Clondalkin, soon followed by another. I had started to go back asleep a little while later, and saw a flash, followed by a loud rumble. That was it. Unless I missed more in that area of Dublin?

SleetAndSnow · 09-08-2019 07:50AM

No sunshine here anyway, weather app says it's gonna be raining all day and driving up to cork city today where it says the same

Kutebride · 09-08-2019 07:55AM

The radar that's broken so annoying. A band of something appearing from the south. Maybe the app is right.

Lashing in Wexford coastal area and still windy but at least the rocking has stopped

I slept with the windows open and didn’t hear a thing... had the fan on. Navan.

Must have been tired!

D9Male · 09-08-2019 08:35AM

ECM is prediciting a ferocious amount of rain for the central belt, from Galway to Dublin tomorrow. 30mm + predicted for the capital.

Love to fall asleep to that sound! There are some great 'rain on window' 10 hour movies on youtube to fall asleep to!

Im not to far from navan, heard the rain around 4, seemed heavy enough but heard no thunder or seen no lightning, sunny and dry now, but doubt it'll last

uck51js9zml2yt · 09-08-2019 09:00AM

Still raining in North Kerry. Had a fence down this morning

I blame meteorite for predicting this storm

nomdeboardie · 09-08-2019 09:03AM

Goddam it - I drop off to sleep eventually, and then all hell breaks loose, and I miss everything*! :mad: Although I'm nearer the coast of S Dublin, I would have thought that would have wakened me!

*Allegedly...could be a mass conspiracy to feed my FOMO

Weather warning removed now and wording in the forecast back to thundery downpours.

Mobhi1 · 09-08-2019 09:20AM

It was a nice sunny morning here in Glasnevin. It's 16.9C now and overcast.
I was awake at 3am to the sound of very heavy rain, the sort of sound that you'd normally only hear for a couple of minutes in a heavy shower, but it went on for way longer than that. There were some rumbles of thunder and a single flash of lightning. All observed from bed. I was expecting to get up this morning to a lot of flooding but it turned out to be a nice, warm, sunny morning with a damp ground. There has been 17.8mm of rain recorded here since midnight to now. There has been rain recorded every hour since midnight.

mickger844posts · 09-08-2019 09:26AM

17.3mm yesterday and 16.5mm so far today. 33.8mm for the event. It was an eventful few hours last night. Plenty of Lightning and Thunder. Lightning was more of the Sheet variety lighting up the entire sky.
This morning we have Heavy squally showers.

Lots of talk about wind today and tomorrow but no warnings no? How strong are they likely to get around the Wicklow area? I'm concerned about a few trees in my garden along the road, have a guy lined up to thin them all out in a couple of weeks but with strong winds and trees in full leaf they might come down before then!

Patchy cloud in Tramore right now. Thumped down from m 7pm yesterday evening and then a lightning show from around 12.30 am until at least after 3 am.

TTLF · 09-08-2019 12:57PM

My gizabo in Wicklow broke from all the heavy rain...

It wasn’t even a week old...

Oneiric 3 · 09-08-2019 01:06PM

There just doesn't seem to be any relent from the constant high humidity this summer. Today it is as bad as ever despite that active frontal passage last night.
