Heavy Rainfall (Orange) Warning for Kerry, Cork, Tipp & Waterford - Tues 23 Feb

Silver-Tiger · 23-02-2021 9:56am

Think that is bad enough wind in D12. Would have understood if it had of been orange. A few accidents avoided by the cyclists in office blocks in town all working from home I think.

DOCARCH · 23-02-2021 9:58am

Stronger winds in Dublin 16 this morning than most recent named storms!

Meteorite58 · 23-02-2021 9:58am

Fairly wild here near Tralee this morning. Just got a gust of 90 km/h, gusting to 80Km/h overnight.

18.0mm on top of 6.8mm before midnight. A lot of road surface water, drove through 3 minor floods on the way into town.
13.6C

TTLF · 23-02-2021 10:04am

Been quite consistently windy here in D14 since last night. I'm not sure how much rain has fell since last night but the station close enough to me had about 2mm since midnight.

That sounds about right; bit of a wind but nothing unusual and dry and sunny now but I guess we may well get a shower or a gust later

Whereabouts are you kutebride, im near Lobinstown and Rathkenny and we've barely had any rain, 1.5mm but it is very windy

DellyBelly · 23-02-2021 10:17am

Extremely strong winds in Dublin 8...a tree came down out the back of our place this morning...stay safe out there

mickger844posts · 23-02-2021 10:20am

Casement 104km/h and Roches Point 100km/h Max on latest Met Obs

23-02-2021 10:21am

Lashing in Arklow
8.6mm
Gusting 70kmh southerly

SleetAndSnow · 23-02-2021 10:21am

Gusting around 90km/h southerly direction in cork.

NIMAN · 23-02-2021 10:24am

Looks like we are escaping the worst of the winds for once up here in Donegal, but it is raining fairly heavily.

Feel for you lot down in the far south, I heard met eireann on the forecast last night describe the rain as relentless. Never heard it called that before.

Going to be a wet one.

PokeHerKing · 23-02-2021 10:25am

Absolutely wild all night/morning in D24. Wind woke me up around 1am which is unusual for me. Normally sleep through anything.

Looking at the charts on Meteologix it seems that there's cross model consensus that the worst of the winds should be within the next 3 hours or so for this part of Wicklow at least. Still plenty of rain to come though.

28mm at Valentia and 24.2mm at Cork Airport up to 6am and another 20mm to 40mm to come today.

Yeah, saw that. Cork Airport is my nearest Met station - I'm about 7k away - but I don't think I've had any where near that amount. Was up with a baby a few times during the night and it was wild but not lashing. My garden also floods in one very small spot when it rains very heavily but it's fine this morning. Looking at the data charts it seems to be very localised in terms of rainfall totals.

Gaoth Laidir · 23-02-2021 10:49am

30 kph difference in windspeed between Casement and Dublin Airport, with a 104-kph gust at Casement just before 9 am. Highest so far at Dublin is 76 kph. Mean speeds 69 and 39 kph, respectively. Only 17 km of distance between the two.

I have noticed that quite a lot particularly with wind from the south. Must be effect of Dublin/Wicklow Mountains. Dublin AP in a bit of a 'wind shadow'.

Frequently gusting gale 8 here in Arklow at the moment
Steady force 7 outside of that
Standard windy to very windy
Mostly light rain,that looks and feels worse than it is because of the wind

Oscar Bravo · 23-02-2021 11:07am

Casement gusting 51 knots at 10am

23-02-2021 11:09am

Gusting 88kmh here near Arklow
Southerly

ninebeanrows · 23-02-2021 11:11am

Wind died here in north Dublin last 3 hours, was very blustery around 3am but right now there is actually a bit of sun trying to poke through!

Crazy how localised the weather can be even in Dublin

Absolutely

It is dangerous windy here in SW Dublin.

Would have surely merited an Orange Warning.

hawkwing · 23-02-2021 11:15am

Wind is much worse than the rain here in South Tipp all morning so far.

Yellow allows for gusts up to 110 km/h, don't think we are anywhere near going beyond that yet, but a solid yellow for you for sure.

23-02-2021 11:31am

Mostly gusting above 70 here near Arklow atm
Gust just now 90.1kmh Southerly

Oneiric 3 · 23-02-2021 11:35am

Closing in on 17mm here. Mostly dense drizzle but the odd heavier burst now and again. 20 knot wind. Bog standard stuff really.

Natibaby · 23-02-2021 11:41am

Very strong gusts in D24, inside doors have been banging with the wind coming through the vents, very unusual, Casement our closest station.

Pangea · 23-02-2021 11:43am

The proper wind has arrived, rough here in Donegal at the moment, some hail stones in the mix too.

Oscar Bravo · 23-02-2021 11:47am

Following a night of very heavy rain here just outside Castlebar its turned brighter now in the past 30 minutes.

Drove around Salthill earlier while the tide was out, rough seas with a constant car wash type spray, just one swimmer spotted and one Darwin nominee on the diving board. Very low visibility across the bay.
All calm here now.

Rainfall so far

Valentia 34mm
Cork 32mm
Sherkin 28mm
Belmullet 21mm

Chris_5339762 · 23-02-2021 1:40pm

Event for me in Cobh is 18mm too, nice to calibrate my new weather station vs. Roches Point!

Interesting too a 14mm difference in those 20km between Roches Point and Cork Airport.

SleetAndSnow · 23-02-2021 1:42pm

Near 28mm in my part of the suburbs! As the crow flies, not too far from the Airport though!

The Kingsley Hotel could be at flood risk again then if this continues for several more hours.

Is there a risk there could be ninja snow (as I believe the term is on this forum) out of tonight’s rain

I ask as a girl I know who works in a local shop said she feels snow in her bones and thinks we will get a dump of it tonight - everyone in shop took heed as she’s been right in the past when met eireann got it wrong

Has she any other predictions going on feeling it in her bones? I’d love to know what she got so right that ME got so wrong!

Gonzo · 23-02-2021 2:40pm

Wind here has been horrible here in Meath but the rain hasn't been that bad. Can't wait for this muck to be over.
