Cork Airport now having its wettest October on record with 249.4mm estimated as of 1000 this morning, beats 239.7mm in 1996. Wettest month since January 2016, almost December 2015 which was its wettest month ever recorded.

Garden is flooded again, absolutely sick of rain now, since that hot spell broke down in Sept it has been relentless. East Cork.

Oscar Bravo · 23-10-2023 11:09AM

Torrential rain with thunder and lightning around the Waterford area

adocholiday · 23-10-2023 11:14AM

Not sure any of the models have gotten this one right. Even the 06z runs just coming out are fairly different and the only one really reflecting the current situation is the UKMO HD.

Speak Now · 23-10-2023 11:25AM

Horrible day in Waterford City, 31mm so far.

Oscar Bravo · 23-10-2023 11:45AM

Either side of the front living a charmed life. Donegal Airport reporting clear skies and light winds

Its actually fascinating how slow of progress its making NE.

Mantis Toboggan · 23-10-2023 12:02PM

Still no rain here in Naas yet surprisingly.

pureza · 23-10-2023 12:35PM

Yes we're even on the right side of the front

Lovely bright day here in Arklow whereas Zara live in kilkenny on virgin media and its lashing down

Stationary front again

Good call in glasnevin on the oranges (for now)

Itssoeasy · 23-10-2023 12:43PM

Just from a cork point of view this rain is taking the piss.

kksaints · 23-10-2023 01:22PM

Thundery rain for around an hour between 11:15 and 12:15 in South East Kilkenny. School in Inistioge is flooded and lot of surface water on road.

Darwin · 23-10-2023 01:42PM

Rain looks like finally relenting (SW Laois) as the front slowly edges North.

Dazler97 · 23-10-2023 03:58PM

Longford and roscommon in a warning but yet Leitrim isn't and jasus that rain is heavy

pureza · 23-10-2023 05:24PM

Thunder and lightning in Arklow now and quite the cloudscape on its edge

pureza · 23-10-2023 05:29PM

Rain rate of 122.6mm/hr

adocholiday · 23-10-2023 05:34PM

Bucketing down now in Rathdrum, the netweather radar showing some very heavy rain in that front that's been slow to cross the country. Met Eireann hourly forecast going for 10mm or so in the next 2 hours here.

bazlers · 23-10-2023 05:50PM

The rain that is to cross the country on Wednesday and wednesday night. What sort of totals we expecting from it?

Doesn't look too bad, 15-25mm widely with some slightly higher totals in the south western most parts of Cork

DOCARCH · 23-10-2023 06:07PM

Still dry in Greystones. Breezy/windy.

pureza · 23-10-2023 06:23PM

Over Another inch has fallen today here in Arklow anyway, 21.2mm of that in the last hour

Month total 196.4mm

JanuarySnowstor · 23-10-2023 06:25PM

The weekend could have flooding potential again more so Sunday. All depends where that low tracks. Coinciding with high tides

At the moment only Icon is showing anything significant for the weekend so let's hope it isn't right!

DOCARCH · 23-10-2023 07:02PM

Heavy rain just arrived in Greystones at 7pm on the dot! Rain rate of 82.2mm/hr.

pureza · 23-10-2023 07:08PM

Just nudging 30mm for the day now in Arklow

Monthly total about to head over 200mm

KanyeSouthEast · 23-10-2023 07:23PM

Other than a couple of nice weeks one in June maybe one end of august early September the whole year has been a **** show of rain and greyness. Getting out again soon. Life’s too short.

December 2015 will hardly be bet. Cork Airport had over 400mm of rain that year. This October likely 300mm so still an incredibly wet month.

sryanbruen · 23-10-2023 08:07PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121275763#Comment_121275763

No it won't be but what I was meant is the total in January 2016 is very close to October 2023 and it will be its wettest month since December 2015. If my estimate is correct, it now is in fact after some additional rain since my post earlier.

December 2015 402.2mm

January 1974 340.9mm

February 1966 299.9mm

January 1969 275.0mm

December 1978 265.0mm

January 1988 256.5mm

October 2023 251.9mm (to 1900 today)

February 1994 251.7mm

January 2016 251.7mm

Looking at that there's every chance it could be top 3 all time.

Meteorite58 · 23-10-2023 08:49PM

Shame to see properties and farmland affected by the heavy rains again today, hopefully a bit of a reprieve the next few days in the S and SE but not without some rain, some showers about a few heavy perhaps with a very slight chance of a brief thunderstorm.

Some heavy rain here near Tralee in the early hours but a grand bright dry day since early.

Models did fairly good again in the end.
