Thank you 😊

And @Dazler97 .. with long exposures ( up to 20, 30 secs shutter speeds ) you really would need a tripod to get the best least blurry shots. Im not sure a phone camera would cut it, but even for that some sort of tripod would be best

Saw a bit of it on way home but clouded over quickly as frequent downpours. 36mm since 9pm yesterday.

Thank you I will do 😀

So after 41mm of rain for the past 26 hours in Sligo its moved a bit South. Gauge now on 64.5mm for the month. That's what you get with an aurora in Sligo, some of the wettest weather of the year. Even July could be proud of that number.

pauldry · 07-11-2023 09:55AM

The non stop stream of showers continues in the Northwest. Up to 72mm now for November

pauldry · 07-11-2023 10:41AM

Flooding becoming more evident too

aidanodr · 07-11-2023 10:49AM

@pauldry Right way up :D

Dazler97 · 07-11-2023 06:52PM

I see the tornado 🌪 that hit the channel islands during storm ciaràn is thought to have been between an EF3 and EF4 (160 to 190mph) making it the strongest tornado in over 70 years

bodhrandude · 08-11-2023 02:25AM

Getting very windy in Oranmore now.

Hooter23 · 08-11-2023 11:57AM

Fairly big showers coming in from the west now..very strong wind with them too

pauldry · 08-11-2023 12:54PM

Just missing Sligo so far but by lunch I'd say no. 77mm for month looks like it will be added to.

Markree only on 48mm so they mustn't have got that real heavy rain Sunday night. It was even heavier in Rosses Pt so could be close to 100mm there for November.

I've never had a 300mm month since I started recording in 2009. A few 200mm ones. Still need 223mm though but averaging 10mm a day so far.

Had Torrential hailstones from it.

sunbeam · 08-11-2023 02:34PM

First hail shower of the season here in Achill. Holding the door open for a cat who is miaowing to come in but won't move from under the hedge.😬

redsteveireland · 08-11-2023 03:41PM

Some strong radar returns on that creeping squall line stretching from Clare to Armagh, Cavan getting the worst of it.

Met Eireann Radar

redsteveireland · 08-11-2023 06:19PM

Great time to loose the Shannon radar, with more heavy showers on the way, some sferics off the coast of Kerry.

pauldry · 08-11-2023 06:32PM

It's still a botch even though they "improved" it. Maybe it's like our sky box and goes off when there's strong showers. How come Dublin never goes off.

Oscar Bravo · 08-11-2023 08:16PM

⚠️Status Yellow - Rain warning for Clare, Kerry⚠️

Heavy showers will be prolonged or thundery at times with local hail, and some spot flooding is likely.

Valid: 18:58 Wednesday 08/11/2023 to 06:00 Friday 10/11/2023

Kutebride · 09-11-2023 09:23AM

Darkest of mornings. Lashing rain. NE Galway. 5⁰

Could really have added Galway to that warning, showers are extremely heavy this morning, going from light to dark as they pass, roads were already showing signs of spot flooding at 06:30 this morning.

Thelonious Monk · 09-11-2023 10:11AM

Has actually been nice the last few days in Dublin, no rain, cool, decent spells of sun, and not offensively windy. I suppose I can't ask for much better at this time of year.

pureza · 09-11-2023 10:26AM

Beautiful so far in South Wicklow

The distant but beautiful CB on the left a foreboding though

Unusual for Met Eireann to confine a warning to just part of a county. West Cork has always considered itself different to the rest of Cork anyway.

I spoke too soon, it's offensively windy out there and it's a wind that would cut you in two

.Donegal. · 09-11-2023 02:05PM

Best day of the week locally. A couple of showers but not as intense or frequent as previous days.

Storm 10 · 09-11-2023 02:10PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121345606#Comment_121345606

Its gas they dont have a clue, on the radio they issued a gale warning from Mizzen head to Erris head now that would include the West perhaps they dont look at the Map

pureza · 09-11-2023 02:57PM

It's gone very dark windy and lashing rain in south wicklow

Just had a westerly gust of 68kmh

Twas lovely up until now

Not here in Leitrim it hasn't unfortunately

During the heatwave last year they added south Leitrim which I felt was weird but there was a 10c difference in temperature between North and south of the county
