Wife reports its raining hard in Drogheda.

Can I ask what sat feed are you lot looking at for live data? I would like to see if this will clear up for my motorbike ride home.

Based on what I can see on http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ it looks pretty serious.

It seems to be moving slowly - I'm afraid that when it finally reaches Cork it'll be nothing more than a heavy mist:(

My poor daughter has to get home from school in this

dsmythy · 17-10-2011 03:34PM

I can literally see it now out the window approaching Swords. Immense dark clouds.

Larbre34 · 17-10-2011 03:35PM

Things have changed utterley in the past 15 mins, wind has shifted due west and become sustained strong, the squall line has hit and is torrential, has to be 10mm/hr rate at the moment, though may not last for long, surface water gone from nothing to inundating the drains in about the same time

dirtyghettokid · 17-10-2011 03:35PM

well that was quick! about 5 mins of craziness and now it's all calm!

H2UMrsRobinson · 17-10-2011 03:36PM

What's that coming over the hill - is it a monster...is it a monster?

Wish I had my camera - it looks menancing!

Caitriona · 17-10-2011 03:40PM

It's starting in Kilmainham now - it's gotten much darker suddenly and it's raining at a 45 degree angle. I'm the only eejit sitting in the office with the window open : )

Edited to say OMG : ) It just arrived properly. That's quite a nice piece of weather!

dsmythy · 17-10-2011 03:41PM

Nice rain. Wind not so great in the end but it was a cool sight all the same watching it approach and darken the skies.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 17-10-2011 03:41PM

Touchdown at Dublin Airport.

delw · 17-10-2011 03:41PM

For people who hate rain we sure get excited at heavy rain

HellFireClub · 17-10-2011 03:46PM

Jesus Monsoon season has just hit Crumlin in D12!

odonopenmic · 17-10-2011 03:49PM

Has just passed Camden Street - squally enough for our whole office floor to stop what they were doing and look out.

DOCARCH · 17-10-2011 03:49PM

Has arrived! For all Sandyford viewers it should be with you in 5.

Larbre34 · 17-10-2011 03:49PM

North County Dublin seems to be getting the stronger echoes now, has quietened down here to a standard issue wet and breezy day, light to moderate rain, wind W force 3 or 4

I guess if it were 34C on the great plains we would have got a tornado or two out of that!

leahyl · 17-10-2011 03:49PM

According to AA Roadwatch some flights to Dublin Airport have been diverted to Belfast due to weather conditions
