Winter 2025/26 - General Discussion

Continuous rainfall in N Kildare since 3pm yesterday afternoon. Strong breeze has now picked up. One of the worst starts to a year i can ever recall.

I'm of the belief that it has been so shite, that we'll get a decent spring, based on nothing but hope

Oh and Tolka river seems to have gained a few inches in height overnight :-o I'm not sure exactly where the flooding is by the airport but anyone who is going there this morning, give yourselves lots of time!

Worst floods here of the winter so far on the roads around Tara, Meath and it’s snowing now and 1 degree.

Lots of bad flooding locally this morning in north Dublin, seeing on the local Facebook group that several underground car parks have been flooded with dozens/possibly hundreds of cars destroyed, local roads impassable etc. Nice of ME to warn people after the fact at 2am😊

And still pouring rain. If I'm not wrong the airport is up to 56mm for the past 48 hours (most in the past 24) which is over a months worth of rain. And that's on top of the fact that we'd already had over a months worth up to then

Sorry for bad quality of pic. The snow on the Cuilcaghs in the distance. Maybe we might get a shower or two here, we often do when they get it.

666m Google says. The photo is poor, it's down roughly to half way covered. Nice to look at anyway.

A few snowflakes passed through in my area of Meath. Bitter cold wind but I can see the clearance to my northwest and winds will ease then. I might see a sunny day yet. The brighter skies might reach Gonzo in the next couple of hours.

Snow on top of the local mountains. Some blue sky. Cold 1C. Horrendous rain last night. Flooding in areas.

Leitrim

So met eireann are in Glasnevin and they couldnt predict there was going to be heavy rain in N Dublin until 230am. That place in Glasnevin has windows doesnt it. Thats very bad.

Rain was forecast to be heavy in the NW but it was dry here all day with just 7mm the night before.

Lashing here still in Dublin 8 really really miserable

For a lot of people when saying "Christmas" it's the holiday period rather than specifically the 25th, considering it's rained pretty much since the first week back to work in January it's not too wide of the mark.

Still pouring down here near the airport, had to take an alternate route to work thanks to a large tree down across the Malahide Road
