Heavy rain from Tuesday Night to Thurdsay Night

mike65 · 30-07-2013 7:38pm #1

I've classed this as moderate as it takes little to cause a flood in this country!

Ripped from met.ie

Tomorrow

Rain will spread steadily northwards to all parts tomorrow, Wednesday, turning heavy in places, with extensive hill and coastal fog forming. However, some dry intervals may develop in inland parts of the south later. Winds will be light to moderate, easterly for a time, but it will become breezy everywhere by the end of the day, with moderate to fresh southerly winds developing. Very mild and humid; highest temperatures 17 to 21 degrees Celsius.

Outlook

Wednesday night will be wet and windy with widespread rain. A very mild and close night with lows of 13 to 17 degrees.

Thursday will be a very wet day with heavy falls of rain for much of the country. The rain will lead to localised flooding and will last throughout the day. It will gradually clear away to the east overnight on Thursday. Highs of 18 to 21 degrees are expected and it will remain mild overnight with lows of 12 to 14 degrees.

Awww crap. Not looking good for my trip out to the Skelligs on Thursday then :mad:

Back (vaguely) on topic, I'm a sailor, and love reading these forecast and weather threads - there's an awful lot of knowledge out there, thanks for sharing it

Yeah - all tonights models suggest that the first half of August is looking a bit rubbish:(

Just as ken ring said it would, he said second half would be dry

Moderate eh..more like a normal wet day! Spot flooding in some places tomorrow, as there has been all week tbh

Time will tell. There is certainly the potential for more widespread flooding than in previous days. Met.ie have a yellow alert too. Just have a look at what's sweeping into munster at the moment

Have to agree here. Being in the west we are used to heavy rain but what has been falling since 9 am is persistent and very heavy. Roads are flooding and the river near me has visibly risen to more like winter levels. Looks as if it will lighten and clear in the next hour or so. Certainly hope so.

any theories on rainfall in wicklow between 6 and 8.30..going kayaking.

Rikand · 31-07-2013 1:34pm

the Athlone bypass(part of the M6 motorway) is under water. Very dangerous driving conditions all along it. Lots of aquaplaning!

km79 · 31-07-2013 3:08pm

22 mm since this morning. Eased off now. For a while anyway ...

Xenji · 31-07-2013 3:11pm

Tornado warnings issued.

With isolated sharks

Curiously it's now 17 in markree and 19.1c in Sligo after 14c most of day

That sort of night warmth will definitely generate thunderstorms

leahyl · 31-07-2013 11:54pm

Met Eireann have changed their yellow alert to an orange alert for tomorrow for Munster, Leinster, Connaught, Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan....so the whole country basically!!

Watch for fast-rising water levels on the Wicklow rivers. You don't want to be on a river like the Dargle or Annamoe with a large thunderstorm dumping a lot of water upstream..
