    Rain has got ever more fierce here on the wicklow wexford border in the last hour.
    Roaring down.
    I drove through some quite nasty flooding and was glad of being in a high 4wd!

    Looking at the radar looks like this rain event could be over for us. Will be interesting to see the overall totals. In work until 10 so won't be checking until then. The rest of the country still getting a pounding I see.

    Are you south or west of Killucan?
    Mullingar Met Station 55mm since midnight.
    The Killucan figure does seem low but some of the heavy downpours were quite local

    The rain is the heaviest now that it's been since 7 or 8am. I've heard no thunder or lightning so far. Something between 5-10 mm an hour has fallen here since about 4pm.

    Well the rain looks like its pretty much finished on my end but imo the rain was not too bad since the rain on my end ranged mainly from drizzle to light to moderate rain (0-3 am) and the rain only started to get heavy after 3am but it was not thundery since the drops were pretty small.

    Is this rain expected to continue tomorrow? I'm heading to the ireland match, not even sure if you can bring umbrellas into the stadium, i obviously didnt want to put it up in the stadium but need to bring it for the way there and back, so i may have a wet walk down to the dart station!
