Happy Autumn from Greystones. First sunrise of the season.
A night of heavy rain kept me awake for much of the night with gutters overflowing. It's a nice day now, plenty of sun and feeling warm and much of today should remain dry so make the most of it. It will remain potentially unsettled or very unsettled over the coming 10 to 14 days, no signs of a respite from the Atlantic even deep into FI. Summer is well and truly over.
Beautiful day in Wicklow now! Doing the Wicklow Head walk atm.
28mm overnight + 17mm yesterday = 45mm in my backyard.
Those totals that DOCARCH posted seem a bit high for amounts after midnight so I think it might include Saturday’s rainfall too?
Yeah I don't bother with PWS, only official. Too much randomness for me to consider, granted rain isn't as greatly affected as say temperature.
Some higher totals on WOW from some PWS in Dublin.
61.7mm in Portmarnock
58.2mm in Blanchardstown
51.8mm at Castaheany
51.3mm at both Milltown and Churchtown
Appreciate how a weather station is mounted can dramatically effect rain totals, so they may not be highly accurate. Still, a good wetting!
Rainfall accumulated totals for Dublin since midnight.
Glasnevin ACS - 38.7mm
Phoenix Park ACS - 38.6mm
Casement - 32.9mm
Shanganagh ACS - 29.6mm
Dublin Apt - 27.8mm
Looks like we got about 26mm of rain between 2am and 5am last night.
No wonder we were awake half the night!
Completely slept through that wind and rain 😅
Tell me about, the baby and myself woke up twice with noise of wind and rain last night.
Looks like we git about 10mm in an hour so not surprised it woke us.
What I wasn't expecting was to wake this morning to gin blue skies!
32mm since i checked at 11.30 last night here in meath, well over 50mm in 24hours
Hours of hard heavy rain and a gray morning with clouds....... and clouds of midge. They love this weather.
50 knot gust here in Greystones around that time (...at 0422 to be precise!).
Beautiful morning now. Clear/sunny and relatively calm.
The wind and rain was crazy in north county Dublin around 4.30 until just after 5. Very exposed here but felt almost Orange wind levels right in the coast. Suddenly dropped off just after 5 then...was able to get back to sleep. 65 km/h gust at the airport I think.
36.4mm rain recorded here in Greystones since midnight. Thought that was a bit mad/wrong but then looked at WOW. Looks like general Dublin area had right lashing of rain with some big rain totals! Also looks many areas under orange warning had significantly less rain.
And heavy rain now.
Good to see posts like this.... reality...Out here offshore West Mayo, we are outside this weather for now but had some useful rain yesterday, The farmers have had a good crop of hay and as you rightly say, all needs replenishing.. Green Ireland ! Just been on met;ie and the map is amazing.
God the doom and despair on here in response to one wet day is nuts!
We've had how many (15?) consecutive drier than normal months...
Did people genuinely think that was going to last forever or what?!
Reality is, climatology would tell us we're long overdue a really wet 6 month (or longer) spell. So I suppose there's lots of time for the moaners to get used to it.
Anyhow for gardens, reservoirs and farmers, this rain is greatly welcome.
Funny enough we've had only 2mm so far in Roscommon, but that will change tonight I reckon.
Thank god it’s raining. Have 2 wells and one went dry yesterday, if the other went dry I would be in serious trouble for cows drinking water. Grass gone very scarce, hopefully growth can rebound quickly.
26mm I recorded today. I'm sure the trees etc will be happy....
Dodged alot of the heavier rain today - AWS reports just 3.0mm since 10am, which I think is a slight over-read.
Some sunshine eventually this evening and it felt warm in that even though temperatures never got above 17c.
Not much of a breeze around - top gust 13mph today and general speeds between 3mph and 6mph.
was 3am earlier. Models still cant decide if its waterford or wexford and beyond that's going to get the most.
Met Éireann Weather Warning

See yellow warnings also.

Great to see the rain proper. If memory serves me well irish water loses 40% to leaks. In my part of Donegal it must be 90% ha because we had water restrictions from 11pm to 10am during July even though we never experienced anything close to drought conditions. So let it piss from the high heavens because there’s nothing more annoying than water restrictions haha
And the wind has followed the thunder so the tranquillity has ended with the falling of darkness over land and ocean. West Mayo offshore ...and the coming of autumn sees my strength wane.. The closer to nature the greater te synchronicity.
And heavy rain wondrously hard on windows,,, TRULY autumn is here...No doubts now of that,, not because met ie says so but the weather this year does...
Cancelled? Tonight's deluge doesn't arrive in laois till 3am ish
THUNDER! That startled me! So much I wondered what it was....
So. West Coast joins the maeistrom.
Rain has stopped now in Greystones. 33.0mm. Wind has gotten up. Gusting 34 knots.
The gfs has really upped the ante for rainfall tonight over the East. I would think electric picnic is hanging by a thread this evening as to whether it will be cancelled
