still raining outside, don't need to go outside to see if it's raining because all the gutters are overflowing with water splashing onto the pavement.

SleetAndSnow · 19-12-2019 07:17PM

Lashing rain still in cork city, hear it hitting the velux windows. 7.76mm fallen today so far, most of it since 3pm. Rotten.

If Australia would share some of its record breaking heat I'd gladly send over some of this rain.

leahyl · 19-12-2019 07:41PM

The radar on Met.ie does not reflect the rain we are currently experiencing in Cork City - it’s “relentless” as Siobhan would say :-P

leahyl · 19-12-2019 07:58PM

Also, traffic gridlock in the city centre - joy!

Unreal rain again this evening,nearly worse than yesterday in terms of rainfall

Lovely day in Tralee with a stunning sunset, a friend sent me this pic of Banna Strand , Co Kerry from this evening, some sea fog can be seen forming in the Bay. Natural colours.

Heavy fog about careful traveling.

SleetAndSnow · 20-12-2019 12:14AM

Will it freeze aswell and cause havoc on the roads by morning
It's possible and roads won't have been gritted

km79 · 20-12-2019 12:30AM

Over 1400mm for the year in athenry now

pad199207 · 20-12-2019 01:05AM

A total of 1022mm now in Kildare. Wettest year since I began recording in 2010 and first time recording over 1000mm.

Average rainfall here is 842mm

alentejo · 20-12-2019 01:24AM

Much more rain than expected today! Seamed to be earlier than forecast! Could it be a ME fail! (Dublin)

Graces7 · 20-12-2019 08:43AM

Peace all night and peace in the dawning. The tide is audible over the back field even though the ocean is flat calm..
A quiet rhythmic breathing

No warnings on met;ie! rare!

Heralding a settled week, they say. Welcome!

Intending to catch up on sleep as almost all is ready for a quiet Christmas

Shortest day hovers in the wings, and so looking forward to it

Slightly OT, I've only been using it a little while but the wow.met.ie site never seems to be working in the early morning, Is this usual?

km79 · 20-12-2019 09:31AM

Dense fog
Most difficult week of commuting I’ve Had in a long time
Have had everything

SleetAndSnow · 20-12-2019 09:36AM

1216mm so far in cork city

Dense fog here this morning

Kutebride · 20-12-2019 10:10AM

Foggy and damp. Meath.
Tomorrow or Sunday forecast; trying to choose best day for trip to Newgrange......not sure there is much difference in either day forecast. Emmmm.

Mortelaro · 20-12-2019 10:43AM

Nice bright morning in Arklow
Currently 3.2 c
Low of 1.3c
Frost is clearing
Just 7.4mm here yesterday
Just 727.6 mm rain recorded here for the year so far
We're going to end up 100mm less than last year ,the year of the summer drought

Kutebride · 20-12-2019 12:09PM

The fog is just ugly and miserable. Meath

Gonzo · 20-12-2019 01:21PM

foggy after torrential rain for most of yesterday and heavy rain through most of the night. Dunsany getting close to 1000mm of rain for the year, something that is rarely ever achieved in this area. 2019 is certainly going to end up one of the wettest years in my lifetime, with the majority of it falling since August, particularly September to December. Looks reasonably unsettled right through to new years eve too.

Comparing to Portugal I saw the following online.....

'In fact, annual precipitation amounts to 1,450 mm (57 inches) in Braga and 1,100 millimeters (45 in) in Porto, while it drops to around 900 mm (35 in) in Coimbra, to 700 mm (27.5 in) in Lisbon, and to about 500 mm (20 in) in Algarve.'

Worst fog in years is say in cork city that I can remember anyway. Very dense still, thought it would have burnes off by now but can barely see Infront of you still. walking through the city atm.

Tabnabs · 20-12-2019 04:58PM

The most beautiful sunset in Dublin, wonderful to see such uninterrupted blue skies after all that rain.

Gonzo · 20-12-2019 05:03PM

It's been dense fog here since 7am this.morning (possibly beforehand). Fogs always been an interesting weather pattern to me not sure why. It's just strange

Mortelaro · 20-12-2019 05:15PM

Beautiful day in Arklow today
Sun all day
