    What is it with Wexford and any rain falling for an hour max,once again it's an hour's precipitation this evening.

    Did you yourself not mention the Wexford rain shield a week or two ago?Obviously still functioning, for most of the time anyway.

    Very heavy in Dublin 8 now. It must be a couple of months since I've heard rain like this off the window

    Only lovely,the new spuds are a bit on the small side due to lack of rain.
    The Rocking Food Festival is on the bank holiday weekend here in Enniscorthy so I'm hoping the sun comes back after this weekend.

    On the same topic i.e.rain. Is anybody familiar with this expression 'it will rain itself out'- when it's raining so much that by the next morning it will have  stopped raining as there won't be any rain left in the sky! I said it to an Englsih friend a while back and I had to explain it. Is it an Irish expression?What would be a 'standard' English equivalent- thanks!

    ... a measly 3mm. As I feared the Wicklow rain shadow considerably weakened the band of heavy rain that moved up from the south. More rain approaching south Wexford now but I see no reason why there shouldn't be a repeat performance for the Dublin area - in other words, only a few mms.

    It’s still raining here in cork. God it’s like all the rain we missed is falling in one day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Mobhi1


    There was 1.4mm rain here in Glasnevin about an hour before midnight. Nothing now. 15.4C.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    It was lovely last night, as the daylight faded, listening to heavy rain, and hearing the thirsty land drinking deep, and the dessicated roots expanding and reaching upwards.. past the scorched surface...

    Still raining; cats coming n dripping wet....

    Reading posts here..

    A healing.

    Got 16.4mm from all that rain. Clearing up nicely now. Grass is shooting green sprouts again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,150 ✭✭✭PukkaStukka


    Nature never ceases to amaze me. Two weeks ago my lawn resembled a desert. Now it's actually green again. The sound of the rain falling earlier was actually very pleasant to listen to !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,721 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    16.0mm between yesterday and today,all welcome and more too is welcome before the next dry spell.

    Lashing in Sligo

    Nothing much showing on radar but let me assure you its bucketing

    However with Sligos microclimate its sunny on Knocknarea but pouring a few fields away so maybe just a stagnant thunderstorm im in

    Please make it lash for 3 to 4 days and return to heat for 2 weeks and then ill be happy.

    After all the UK has still to break its record temperature as
    Tokyo
    Montreal
    and
    Arctic Circle have

    Absolutley torrential rain since circa 09.15 with thunder and lightning knocking power out for a few hours.
    North County Dublin


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,932 ✭✭✭hinault


    Very heavy bursts of rainfall here in south county Dublin, the last shower was for a duration of 30 minutes or so, and 2mm of rain fell. We've had showers off and on since 10am. The water barrel in my back garden is filling nicely now
