    What country am I living in 😁, just 1mm here in Kerry, bits of mist and drizzle, breezy but bright spells also with nice sunshine at times. Got up over 10C again ( 10.6C ) and 8.5C atm but here comes the cold and wintry precipitation but mostly rain🙄 down at lower levels anyway, Wicklow Mountains could get a good pasting of snow overnight into tomorrow in the slow moving band which will take its time leaving the East coast.

    Really hammering down all afternoon/evening in north Dublin, another to add to the long list of dawn to dusk rain days



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,336 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    so another absolutely rotten day tomorrow after todays deluge, just that tomorrow will be an icy cold wet soaking.

    This useless government still refuses to publish a completed land use study looking at the issue via flood plain management, peatlands, overgrazing issues and lack of native woodland on upland catchments etc.

    Potentially another 40-60mm in Dublin/Meath by Saturday night going by the latest HARMONIE, I don't know what the wettest February on record is here but we might be speed running it in record time😊

    Been raining most of the day here in carrick stream at the back of us is nearly at full capacity



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,327 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    Syran would know he's a wizard with records and all 😀 are you in Dublin yourself or elsewhere thunder87, I seen by the rainfall sequence it's gonna be quite bad with the rainfall totting up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,229 ✭✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Except the Algarve have had an awful few weeks or rain with lots of flooding. The Guadiana river running very high.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 13,397 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Mad isn't it although some big rainfall totals showing up on the models over the next 10 days and getting windier but probably will do better again for temperatures as we catch anything from the SW, still a bit to go before emerging out of the winter proper it would seem.

    Yep not too far from the airport. I'd guess over 20mm today which brings things up to ~80mm, from googling the record seems to be 130mm so definitely within reach



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,630 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    Ah a vile evening. There are some floods in the fields now. We've had over 24 hours of rain

    At least we will have some brief respite tomorrow from the rain.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭Robwindstorm


    Hopefully Gonzo we'll be just on the right side of tomorrow's slow clearance . I think Siobhan got a bit carried away in this evening's forecast by saying a 'FEW' brighter days ahead. We're barely going to scrape a day out of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,265 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    I think I’ll be keeping my yellow tinted sunglasses on for the foreseeable.
    It kinda lifts the gloom when you’re out and about.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,336 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    The way things are going we won't get a dry day at all, maybe a few hours tops. Side roads around Dunshaughlin are in a state this evening with ditches flowing water out onto the roads and lakes developing in the fields again.

    As for my own property both drives are partially flooded, swamp like garden with water pooling and standing water at the back of my house, Neighbours houses are all the same, driveways flooded and gardens are unwalkable in.

    Things are only going to get worse, we have at least another 10 days of deluges to come with barely a break. I was in the supermarket earlier and everyone walking around in rain soaked black clothing with long faces and just fed up with the misery. Everyone has had enough.

    anyone know when the last day dublin had a day without rain was?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,630 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    A long way off but there are signs of a settled end to February. If the ECM is to be believed there maybe some snow cover at times before then too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,162 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    Another absolutly shite day in Dublin, non stop monsoon like rain . where is it all coming from - its truly horrible. 5 weeks every day, the lack of sunlight is manageable, but the constant rain is just so depressing. Forecasters said ther would be a respite this week, unless they meant the Monday all day drizzle.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,015 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    Unbelievable rain falling in Dublin 8 at the moment...the Camac is getting fairly high



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭Condor24


    40mm of rain since midnight Offaly. Add 13mm from yesterday evening. Its bad out there. Surface water everywhere. Roll on sunny spring please...hurry up.

    Torrential rain here as well, rivers running down the roads



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭Monkeynut


    August the 10th 1956, was a cloudy cold day. But no rain if I remember right.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Kutebride


    18 Jan was a nice day at the club All-Irelands in Croke Park all afternoon and evening (probably an early shower in the morning) plenty rain followed the next day. Was a close one lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,476 ✭✭✭Kutebride


    Sideways rain here in Meath can hear it belting off the window.

    6⁰ Meath



  • Subscribers Posts: 17,116 ✭✭✭✭copacetic


    seems close a certainty at this rate. The rain this evening is something else, seems like even the rain forecasted is coming down heavier when it arrives this week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,877 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Sweet Jaysus never heard rain like it here in NCD for last 2 hours.

    When the hell is this all going to stop😭



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,336 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    biblical rain here at Dunshaughlin, had to raise the volume on the tv to drown out the noise of rain hammering off the roof. Theres already flooding around parts of Dunshaughlin but if this continues all night it will be extensive by the morning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,457 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Monday last week (2nd February) had no measurable rain at any of the synoptic stations in Dublin.

    I saw a reporter on the RTE News just there reporting from Dublin city centre, the rain was appalling , a real deluge! God I feel very sorry for anyone getting hit by this relentless rain. Kerry seems to be the only county escaping the worst of it ………and I'm not complaining. It's not exactly the Algarve but pretty acceptable…………. wild, windy, a couple of light showers, normal weather for early February. Hope I don't jinx it!

    On another note what's the big fuss about ONE night of frost tomorrow and temperatures a few degrees below zero…….the warning is only from 6pm tomorrow to 9am Saturday…..look at what most of Europe and the US has had for 2 weeks, freezing temperatures and snowfalls of 6-8ft!)

    Anymore rain on top of saturated ground is gonna increase the risks automatically so I think this weekends rain will only result in more flooding , I just hope local authorities are preparing sandbags just incase
