Does this look bad this far out?
Ryanair 1863 on final in Cork now, Runway 16. Let's see how that works out.
Also, most tracked flight worldwide on Flightradar24.com.
Just arrived in work - cork city initial thoughts what gowl thought it woukd be ok for kids to head to school in that ????
vissbility very very poor at times - our local area prone to flooding lots of surface water there already I reckon it will be impassable later on.
Lots and lots of surface water the entire commute ( was expecting our locality due to known issues but surprised at the amount on the entire commute)
Rain is torrential - very poor driving conditions.
Not looking forward to getting home at 3 this afternoon.
It looked windy and rainy in Cork city so I decided to verify it was the case. I went for a 10min walk (aka I had to go home). Let say I should have worn a swimsuit. My skin would have been as wet anyway.
Gust of 55kmh SE Arklow
Raining
Mod Note: need to cut out the hostile posts.

102kph gust Cork is "winning" so far
Could also be visibility, things got pretty bad when that last batch of rain went through. Whatever it is, they're not risking it by the looks of it. Climbing now and making a beeline for Dublin. Two Ryanair flights coming in though. Wonder how they'll do.
are they heading off to dublin now?
Oh ffs, calm down
At the rate it's coming down (and we've barely even hit when the weather warning was valid for), this should be a red warning for rain in Cork. There's 6 hours of a warning ahead and it's already starting to flood.
That might be a bit tricky for sure.... head winds are 'almost' lining up with runway I wonder?
EDIT: They are heading for DUB.. RYR22FU from STN is next.... best of luck lads.
Cork safety alerts are saying there’s reports of flooding and trees down already.
Supposed to be bringing my dad for an appt in the city later this afternoon - that's if the city centre isn't under water by then 😁
Biblical rain in Mid Cork at moment, if this intensity continues for long, rivers will be flooding within a few hours. Wind gusty but nothing major yet.
Okay that’s a big gust in cork city.
OMG, the rain in Cork 😯
I thought the coffee would give it a boost. All eyes on that website this morning is the problem. So the relatively warm waters are leading to more rain but perhaps a system that fills quickly once it hits land.
Good morning everyone. It's gone beyond "bucketing down" here in Ballincollig and has moved into biblical territory. My south facing windows are a solid sheet of water. Winds definitely picking up here as well, some pretty decent gusts, although my weather station can't pick them up due to its location.
I do have a handheld anemometer but I am NOT going outside at the moment.

It's very heavy now here in Cork. Roads going to be flooded here I'd say.
Drastic change in weather in cork City my god, very strong gusta now and and bucketing down. Flight landing from Tarbes atm, wouldn't like to be on that!
Well the start of this week I was told I’d be off Wednesday and I knew it was going to be messy but not having to commute through cork city an Same I was told that I’d be off today on Monday and really hadn’t looked in here to the the views if the posters in the know, but not having to use the buses in cork city this morning and this afternoon is a blessing.
the rain has gotten heavier here in cork city within the last half hour. Rotten day.
They do that with aviation forecasts and it doesn't help. Knowing there's a 40% chance (typical value) of a gust doesn't clear things up.

It's funny how the warnings end at county boundaries. Wicklow is orange, but Dublin is yellow. 😁
Yeah, did school run. Sheets of rain, roads with mini rivers on them.
Took today off ages ago not knowing there'd be a storm. Now there is its the best day off ever
Look out for heavy thunderstorms in the West at 4pm. They may surprise you.
Absolutely bucketing down in cork City now
Anyone with wind gusts for 8am from Met Eireann won't load for me. Drank a whole cup of coffee n nothing.
On the matured side now I’d say with a filling low
Fantastic view of Agnes on Sat24
