    Durrow AWS... 21.3mm at 8pm.

    Looks to be fairly spot on considering the Gurteen and Oak Park figures.

    Stacks in north Co. Kerry is at 48.3mm which is the highest total on IWN

    Nothing dramatic here, just a pretty awful day

    Shannon is the first (last?) reporting synoptic station to break the 40mm barrier today. Total since midnight on 40.6mm.

    Edit, have to say I am a little surprised at Valentia's total so far today, still under the 10mm mark at the station.

    I'm just here optimistically hoping that some weather buff is going to make the bold prediction that the rest of the summer is going to be beautiful, just to cheer me up or whatever :o

    Lashing down here in Limerick at the moment, think its only stopped briefly twice during the day. Also causing problems on the roads now according to the AA:
    Shanagolden Village is impassable.
    The Broadford/Drumcollogher Rd (R515) in Newcastlewest is impassable due to flooding.
    Gardai advise that all local roads around Ardagh Village (R523) are impassable.

    Genuine question (not aimed at you specifically Disco) as this is something that I have wondered about since I was a child but why does the rain bother so many people? I am very probably on my own on this but I thought today was great! Beautiful warm rain which was not only interesting to watch from a weather enthusiast point of view but on a practical level as it is great for country. We need rain for agriculture, to fill up the reserviors, make the grass and countryside green and so on and so forth Rain is life! and is the source of it.

    Am I being a bit too hippy on this..? :o

    Seemingly the system pivoted around us, whilst not an eye, in common parlance we were in the eye of the 'storm' and it needs to shift for us to see much.

    For a lot of farmers rain is the last thing they need right now.

    My dog doesn't like the rain and after a walk in the rain she needs a wash.
    She sprays the water up on herself from the ground with her feet.

    Rain doesn't bother me as I just put on water proof gear but I hate the cold.:)

    You NEED a better Bitch. I'd recommend a Labrador, black or gold, dog or bitch, after they have been out in the weather, it's you, your car, your house, your bed and your oil skins that'll need a wash, they, will look supreme and smiling at you.

    72.9mm in my part of Ashford http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IWICKLOW6
    Always much more rain here when it comes from the SE compared to stations near me - all weather is local after all

    Are you sure thats correct? The wicklowweather.com station is only measuring 32mm and it's not like Ashford is a big place.
