    The weather for Sat seems to have got more gloomy for tomorrow for the East coast , any estimate for when rain will hit Wicklow/Dublin coast? was planning to go for a cycle AM, back by lunchtime.

    It's fairly heavy here in Leixlip (~12 miles from the coast). I could swear I heard some thunder too.

    Very heavy here in Dublin 15. I heard thunder about 15 mins ago and I think I saw a flash of lightening then too.

    I wasn't so impressed with the forecasts for yesterday, I was in Dublin but particularly in Louth the rainfall amounts were much higher than any model guidance suggested. Perhaps 3 times the amount expected at home where the rain never really left all day and just drizzled with the odd heavy burst.

    Also the timing caught me out, heavy rain reached Drogheda at only 8.30am and I had no umbrella or jacket at the time for the hour I was outside:mad:

    My sympathies go out for those who were in electric picnic on saturday!

    I think the forecasters in general were wrong with yesterdays predictions. Timing and amounts of rain were well off.

    just to add, I cycled down to ashford yesterday afternoon after looking at the Met.ie radar , it seemed to show a distinct band of rain that looked like it was gone from Dublin (not raining anywhere in Leinster) and headed out , was good for the first hour and a half but spent the next 3 hours in a misty rain, only cleared around 6pm. glad now I went anyway but not at the time :D
