[orange level alerts] Potential for severe flooding in Leinster, east Ulster overnight 20-21 July

Pouring here M.T, in south coast Dublin, but not substantially different from some previous downpours. No sign of sparks at all. Do you think there's a bit of lightning on the East Coast tonight? (I don't think so, but you usually have something precise and different…)

28mm here last 24hrs in Kildare

Very heavy rain for the last hour, persistent with 5 minute downpours, no sign of thunder.

Streams running down at the road kerbing but shores handling it so far, Dublin 7.

Seems over 50mm so far in Casement. What's it's wettest ever July day sryan? Anybody?

A month's rain in a day

Horrendous in Clane. Hammering it down with ranging intensities.

Although should be cleared before dinner

From the RTE website - that's the local park near me (Kilbogget) here where i often go jogging, never ever seen it flood so badly. The Swans must be wondering how their pond got so big!

that was some rain around dublin last night, then this morning.

the amount of clowns with driving early this morning with no lights on along the m50, ***ing moronic and reckless to think they didnt even think about putting their lights on, " oh its ok - my dash lights up, that means my headlights are on right ? " idiots.

the surface water was the worst id seen in a while too.

well done to the other countless morons braking when hitting large pools of water - where the kfuc did they learn to drive?

Different world here north Offaly, well in terms of rain. 0.5mm since midnight. It's pretty dull and dreary but not wet.

Cleared earlier than i expected. Very light drops. N Kildare
