Before anyone says ah shur they might be ELECTRIC. Well, not a good idea with EVs either

I too have just lit a fire in the sitting room but I consider that to be putting the heating on as I'm introducing heat to the house that wouldn't be present otherwise.

Cork is slowly becoming Atlantis 😁 very intense rain currently

leahyl · 16-10-2022 04:56PM

Rain is clearing a bit now in Cork City but my God, I haven’t seen rain like that in quite some time - so intense! Think it’s supposed to clear by 6.30/7.00

You're in the Northside if I remember correctly? Just had a very intense shower, heaviest of the day. Probably working its way over to you now!

Chris_5339762 · 16-10-2022 05:05PM

None of those roads were like that when I drove through earlier! Lucky its a Sunday as that'd be fun on a rush hour.

Look up "Rufford Ford" on youtube for a bit of a laugh at other peoples attempts to get through water.

Ah yup! I spoke too soon!

Itssoeasy · 16-10-2022 05:16PM

It is one manky mess of a day here in cork city. The fire is lighting.

KanyeSouthEast · 16-10-2022 05:41PM

Absolute right off of a weekend. Already thinking of getting away for a few days in nov/dec to Spain or the Canaries.

really bad flooding throughout all cork city and suburbs

Why somebody would drive their car through that, nobody knows

appledrop · 16-10-2022 06:22PM

Today was actually a grand day in Dublin until about 3pm.

There wasn't even a whiff of a breeze so it was very pleasant out and about in park once you were wrapped up.

Great fun had by all the kids collecting the bumper crop of conkers in Newbridge House.

Chris_5339762 · 16-10-2022 06:47PM

Theres a lot of flooding around Cork - but in Cobh we've only had 30mm today. It wasn't as bad, by a long shot, as other rainy days.

I'd suspect a lot/most of the flooding is from blocked drains due to leaves. But it is bad out there and a manky day to be outside.

aidanodr · 16-10-2022 06:52PM

Seems the south link is now closed

On the south ring road at the moment, barely moving, at Douglas and Google saying another 30 mins to get past the kinsale road flyover!!!

16-10-2022 07:30PM

Some astonishing rainfall in Cork, 57mm recorded at the airport since midday.

aidanodr · 16-10-2022 07:47PM

High tide in Cork City tonight at 1018pm .. no warning issued yet from Cork Co Co, not sure if thats good or bad ..

Dazler97 · 16-10-2022 08:15PM

Heavy rain the last hour here in Carrick on Shannon, such a manky evening, temperatures have lifted from 7c to 9c

Meteorite58 · 16-10-2022 08:19PM

You can see how Cork got every last drop out of it today.

adocholiday · 16-10-2022 08:47PM

Wind picking up in South Wicklow now. Was a nice day for most of it today, odd showers but mostly dry and mild.

SuperBowserWorld · 16-10-2022 09:12PM

North Wicklow. Strong wind and showers. The opposite of yesterday. And it's Sunday night. Work tomorrow. Time for the Glenroes 😀

appledrop · 16-10-2022 09:17PM

After a calm day, very windy here now in NCD.

Just saw flooding there on news in Cork, looked awful.

pad199207 · 16-10-2022 09:27PM

Torrents of rain in Kildare.

giveitholly · 16-10-2022 09:29PM

Only 50mm recorded here in tipp!!!!

spoonerhead · 16-10-2022 10:03PM

Honestly thought a Tornado swept through D12 a few moments ago…

Nylonlust · 16-10-2022 10:06PM

I'm in Dublin city centre and it's like a hurricane at the mo

sporina · 16-10-2022 10:09PM

Cork City - gee was out and about and so glad to get home with car intact.. well I hope its ok in the am - drove to some floodwater but took diversions where I could..

CCC clear the drains ffs.. the covers of man holes have been displaced due to gushing floodwater underground..

appledrop · 16-10-2022 10:11PM

Sweet Jesus the rain is biblical at moment here in NCD.

That and wind means there might be very few Halloween decorations left in morning😏

dsmythy · 16-10-2022 10:11PM

Fairly monumental rain Dublin City Centre. Easily the biggest river down the street since moving here a year ago.

John.Icy · 16-10-2022 10:12PM

Yep, absolutely insane burst of rain and wind there in D9. Door nearly blew inwards, absolute torrents coming down it was like a flash flood getting going on the roads. But all over and quiet in a matter of 5 minutes.

First bit of remotely interesting weather that survived the journey over the Wicklow Mts. in years. Barely any meaningful rain today despite hours and hours under precip on the radar. You have to love a northerly traveling band of rain if you are based in Dublin.
