    Sun has been out here for the last while (and hopefully elsewhere?) which hopefully might give a bit energy to the cold front.

    Had a brief cloud burst there that yielded 3.2mm in roughly 5 to 10 mins... Looks like that's it for the day

    Just passed over head. To be honest it hadn't much intensity and very little wind. Just enough to keep down the dust.

    No doubt it will break up, this side of the city at least, when it hits the Wicklow Mountains.

    Annnnnd it's gone. The mountains tore it to shreds alright. Just a light shower here, completely uneventful.

    Sadly didn't pass my Test. :(

    Sudden downpour during the reverse around corner sealed it for me.

    My concern would be that driving in the rain put you off. This is Ireland :) Half your life is spent in the rain.

    Good call by MetE. No storm at all a few gusts of wind is all that I seen. Nothing to report.

    Yes I am used to light to moderate rain but rain where a wiper on full speed didn't do the job is a different story. My little back wiper fought valiantly but it was too much for her.

    I am used to dull overcast conditions more than anything. Driving in the sun is rare for me.

    It's a long exposure so it shows several strikes taken over a long period.
