I'm at less than half that for the year in Arklow

SleetAndSnow · 20-11-2019 8:18am

Heavy showers during the night in cork city. Just got up to get ready now and another heavy shower has just bit. Gonna be a very unpredictable day I’d say.

Mortelaro · 20-11-2019 8:55am

Very wet in Arklow overnight
Currently wet and windy
Microbursts of heavier rain in it

You're getting your share of the rain that most of the rest of the country have been enduring. Pleasant morning in North Kildare. Calm and quite mild. Fairly cloudy although the sun is shining. Likes like my commute to Dublin will see conditions go downhill as I near the office.

SleetAndSnow · 20-11-2019 9:46am

Some roads flooded with deep puddles already in cork city because drains are blocked with leaves. Gonna be a wet day!

Gonzo · 20-11-2019 12:18pm

poured rain here last night, looks like more showers to the way later today.

SleetAndSnow · 20-11-2019 12:43pm

10 year anniversary since the very bad flooding of Cork Cory where people were in waist high water outside the gates of UCC etc. ironic that it’s another very wet day... but at least it won’t flood like that (we hope!)

It wasn't just the city that was swamped back then. Bandon, Bantry, Clonakilty, Skibbereen, Dunmanway and Fermoy were all badly hit as well and some businesses never reopened after that deluge.
There is a yellow rainfall warning in place for Cork today but there shouldn`t be anything like what happened 10 years ago.

Gonzo · 20-11-2019 3:57pm

Dunsany now sitting at just over 114mm of rainfall for November and that doesn't include last nights deluge. This month could easily top 200mm by the end. Rain most likely every day between now and 1st of December. First two weeks of December also looking very wet and unsettled. I wonder when will this end? when will we get our first dry spell longer than 3 days.

squarecircles · 20-11-2019 6:28pm

Looking foward to the December daffodil bulbs,the midges,and a mellow mild moistness in the air, mmmm toasty.

The outlook is for this renewed Atlantic regime to continue and perhaps lock in for a while. I am expecting something like December 2015 or perhaps December 2013 which was somewhat stormier and just about as mild. This may lead to a more wintry episode by January if there's any signs of life in the Scandinavian high department. Keep in the back of your mind the outlook that it could get very unsettled around the Christmas holiday period (rain and wind rather than snow seeming the most likely type of disturbance). MT Cranium

YAY WINTER.

Billcarson · 20-11-2019 7:30pm

The models today show the potential for a cold spell at the end of the month/start of dec
Chance of a Greenland high....

Definitely some interest in the models this evening. If we don't get another December 2015 then that's a good start because the thought of a repeat of that is borderline nauseating, especially after the very wet autumn!

MT is as accurate as everyone else making predictions / the models. I.e. Not at all accurate.

Well said Artane2002. It would be truly awful if we get a repeat of Dec 2015. As good as MT is, he too gets it wrong sometimes and hopefully he is with his latest prediction.

pauldry · 20-11-2019 10:55pm

Well think our weather is weird?

Nullarbor in Australia 46.7c today, New November Record for the station but 6 nights ago 3.7c!!

Just the 43 degree change

Storm 10 · 20-11-2019 11:33pm

This rain seems to be more West than was forecast

Thelonious Monk · 21-11-2019 10:18pm

Going to be lashing again in the morning in Dublin, probably wont be able to cycle to work. I can honestly say that cycling in and out of work on and off in Dublin for the last 15 years or so, these few months have been the worst I can remember, rain wise. It's just horrible.

appledrop · 21-11-2019 10:23pm

Left for work in lashing rain + came home from work in lashing rain.

Nov has been a s**t month in Dublin weather wise.

Not a drop in Naas

Rock Lesnar · 21-11-2019 10:43pm

No rain in my area of meath today, it was cloudy, dark, and felt cold in the breeze

Hooter23 · 21-11-2019 11:09pm

Hopefully we get our cold in December and January and not Springtime as what usually happens...you just want a bit of heat by then...I dont know what happened to Spring but its colder than Winter in recent years...not like the Spring we used to get years ago...when it was the best weather we'd get all year alot of the times

Winter seemed to last till the end of June this year!

Spot on it did indeed! I'll get depressed if start thinking about summer because June + August really were a write off this year + July only decent month.

Have you forgotten about the warm dry sunny weather we had around Easter this year?

A few days i remember cycling to dun laoighaire on easter sunday and it was bliss. That was a freak occurrence this year though! Another horrible rainy morning in Dublin but seems to have cleared up now.

Nope, it definitely hasn’t cleared up in Dublin! Looks like we are in for a torrid Friday afternoon. Tonight and tomorrow looking rubbish too with rain.

Harry Palmr · 22-11-2019 2:33pm

What the hell has happened to the Atlantic regime? Bring it back

Mortelaro · 22-11-2019 3:19pm

Beautiful afternoon in Arklow
Wasnt expecting this

Small clear section. Had you taken a photo in the other direction, towards the east, beautiful would not have been such a suitable description. Large mass of cloud would be just about overhead of you at this stage and there is some lightning activity not too far out to sea, to your east.

That's sparked!

Darwin · 22-11-2019 4:19pm

Big hail shower in Carlow town around 1.30pm, didn't hear any booms though.

Mortelaro · 22-11-2019 4:22pm

Not overhead here yet,still out to sea

Rock Lesnar · 22-11-2019 4:34pm

Ah hello darkness my old friend, Rain has returned to meath

SleetAndSnow · 22-11-2019 5:04pm

Had a brief shower this morning around 11 in cork city but dry since there. Dark clouds around but some blue sky too. Nice colour on the clouds with the sunset at the moment

Mortelaro · 22-11-2019 5:51pm

One thunder boom heard
Approximately 1.6mm recorded

Oscar Bravo · 22-11-2019 6:43pm

A nice dry evening here in Castlebar with little or no wind. 7 degrees.

appledrop · 22-11-2019 7:24pm

Yet again going to work in lashing rain + coming home in lashing rain!

I hate rain. Only good thing is that thank crunchie its Friday!

Must check what we are up to now for Dublin rainfall.

Goldfinch8 · 22-11-2019 7:25pm

A nice evening alright for the turning on of the Christmas lights in the mall in Castlebar. Even though we have had a bit of rain on and off over the past few days, I certainly think that it has been one of the more acceptable Novembers so far in these parts without being spectacular. Hopefully we will squeeze a few more half decent days out of it.

Mortelaro · 22-11-2019 7:53pm

Looks like a lot of moderate rain in the celtic sea and off Pembrokeshire heading for wexford and wicklow in the next several hours and onwards then to counties further inland
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the lift that precip gets over the wicklow mountains (and Mt leinster) really gets felt worse in North carlow and kildare
Its the kind of rain, speaking anecdotally and non technically that would

Yeah lashing here now in Kildare with 7mm in the gauge. Seems like it’s convective rain.

Gonzo · 22-11-2019 8:04pm

pouring rain here at Dunshaughlin all evening, slight rumble of thunder a few minutes ago.

Should be outlawed. Christmas lights in November is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch its a cold enough one with occasional short-sharp showers and temperatures hovering between 3.5c and 4.5c in south Laois.

Thats the stuff that was over south Dublin north Wicklow on and off today lifting over the hills
The Celtic sea stuff has only started down here yet,its a much more organised bigger blob of rain
The heaviest of that is still 20 to 30 miles out to sea, growing and could spark somewhere
It's the stuff I'm thinking will lift like mad before dropping in north carlow and kildare

appledrop · 22-11-2019 9:04pm

It is pouring down here in North County Dublin. Looks like we are already over 20mm for the day .

A shower train across Dublin and north Wicklow today
If it was the February easterly 2018 youd be buried
Pad would be on catch up with ye this evening but would get there eventually

Meteorite58 · 22-11-2019 10:01pm

Rainfall looking heavier in the E and SE than was predicted by the models I think.

Looks like the front will make slow passage inland overnight or even stall. Could get some bigger falls than expected along the frontal convergence.

You were spot on with that prediction for Kildare anyway!

Donegal Storm · 23-11-2019 2:03am

Some light rain this morning but turned into a nice bright evening in Letterkenny followed by clear starry skies, no complaints
