    This evening's 18Z water vapour imagery seems to show the low centre and possible stingjet around 1 degree longitude ahead of the ECMWF forecast position, meaning the system is moving a little faster than progged.

    Been half asleep all night, had to get up with a string that passed giving very heavy monsoon like pulses of rain and high winds.

    I've 14mm of rain by my WS and a 42km/h gust @00:26 since midnight
    Low pressure 981 hPa still falling ↓

    Heaviest rain rate is shown around 01:00 where it almost reached 35mm/hr ~ I think I was asleep for that but have the window open and the wind direction would not have alerted my so much at that time.

    Just had to get up there as those monsoon pulses seemed extra ordinary.

    There weren't by any chance any freak wind gusts recorded this morning in Dublin (8) were there? I woke up around 06:15 and a few minutes later there was a howl of a gust that sounded like something from a disaster movie right outside the window. My wife thought it was a tsunami(:rolleyes:) and I was hoping for a mini tornado but the noise was gone pretty quick.
