HighLine · 24-10-2019 7:14pm

Surprised Wicklow is not included in the yellow warning.

sdanseo · 24-10-2019 7:22pm

HIRLAM summary: a very ordinary cold but wet day tomorrow.

No mentionable cold and no snow.
No mentionable excess of rain or flooding.

Just muck.

Reckless Abandonment · 24-10-2019 8:47pm

Note to self. GFS was getting ahead of its self regarding snow.

Looks like we dodged the bullet! Though I know I'm hopecasting, but there was crazy rain here Nov before the big 2010
Freeze.

JanuarySnowstor · 24-10-2019 10:20pm

You would have to say gfs was very slow to get the forecast correct for tomorrow. It was constantly showing snow for the South on Friday until it finally gave up today and came into line. I'm not a fan of the gfs since this year's upgrade as it does seem to have a cold bias

I still think tomorrow could be notable for heavy ppn with surface flooding quite likely over the south and east

It has always had a significant cold bias.

JanuarySnowstor · 24-10-2019 10:45pm

The more I look at the charts the more I see quite a bit of flooding on offer tomorrow. By Saturday morning some parts of the South and South east will have seen continous rain for over 24 hours

pauldry · 24-10-2019 11:00pm

Maybe Johnston and Cork or Roches will end near 50mm

Like this

Johnstone Castle 46mm
Cork 40mm
Roches 35mm
Oak Park 30mm

25mm bar

Mount Vesuvius · 24-10-2019 11:24pm

Euro 4 showing Parts of coastal Wexford in the 40mm rain accumulation up to midday Saturday, very wet for the south east in general.

Widdershins · 24-10-2019 11:56pm

Don't say 2010. Not again..twas like Antarctica.

DOCARCH · 25-10-2019 6:06am

Cork, Kilkenny, Carlow and Wicklow added by ME to the advisory area (in addition to Waterford and Wexford).

Drifter50 · 25-10-2019 7:53am

Lovely balmy quiet morning in Dublin

Where did all this forecasting come from. Seriously I had an outdoor contracting job planned for today and I postponed it till Tuesday based on the harbingers of doom on this thread. Its now 8am and I could be setting up for my days work, get the job done and get paid this evening.

Same as the last nonsense......................:mad:

Was always a south/southeast event but if people can't read forecasts then I think that is their own fault,Do people have to be taken by the hand now?

You postponed the job based on what you read on this thread!
What line of work are you in?

Lashing rain anyway here in cork city.

The rain has started in Dublin since you last posted recently and it'll be raining all day, as forecasted. Satisfied now?

I suggest you look at the latest radar. It is looking like it will be a wet day. Your big one day contract will have to wait for another day anyway

You might need to look for a job, cause you can't follow simple weather forecasts

pauldry · 25-10-2019 10:26am

Raining in ballymote but 1c.

realdanbreen · 25-10-2019 10:50am

I'm out here wet to the B****x in North Tipp waiting for it.

Considering the title of this tread includes "Rainfall warning" and has no mention of snow, coupled with the fact that for the past few days the consensus has been that snow would be extremely unlikely except on some of the higher peaks of mountains, I don't know why you are expecting snow?

Well to be fair the title did say snowfall up until was changed in the past day or so.

BarryD2 · 25-10-2019 3:28pm

Typical ordinary soft wet autumn day in the SE, yawn...

Gonzo · 25-10-2019 5:33pm

just home from Dublin, absolutely horrendous day out there, bucketing cold, cold rain and miserable.

pad199207 · 25-10-2019 5:37pm

Rotten cold evening in Kildare.

10mm in the gauge

Ditto in Dublin 16.

pauldry · 25-10-2019 5:51pm

5mm in Sligo. Wasnt it sposed to be patchy here. Its lashing

Kermit.de.frog · 25-10-2019 6:05pm

Dreadful cold, wet, depressing day in Dublin. Nothing more to be said really.

Still reckon there will be a dusting on the highest ground in Wicklow by morning.

tayto lover · 25-10-2019 6:08pm

Very wet and cold in N. Louth.
Dog refusing to go out for his walk. More sense than myself.

Gonzo · 25-10-2019 6:10pm

not often we see big temperature drops like this in October. 17C in parts of southern and central England. Single digits everywhere north of Central Wales. Ice day in parts of the Scottish highlands.

Yes but not sure anyone guaranteed snow in North Tipp for angry men in the rain.

"Not often"
Really?
Would have thought they were very standard temperatures and ranges at this time of the year!

Rebelbrowser · 25-10-2019 8:04pm

I take it the shannon radar is down? Radar on met.ie looks wrong....

Thank you, and yes it did and to someone committed to working outdoors seeing that initial forecast of course they wisely took heed and cancelled.

Danno · 26-10-2019 10:14am

Got a total of 14.7mm from this event in South Laois. Cold throughout with temperatures ranging from a low of 4.0c to a high of just 6.8c. Skies currently clearing with patchy fog. Sunshine is just coming out.

gozunda · 26-10-2019 10:46am

15.5mm rainfall recorded here North Cork with a low of 5.6C over previous 36 hours. This morning cool & foggy which has burnt off to a bright clear sunny morning.

leahyl · 26-10-2019 12:47pm

Beautiful in cork city - just loving these autumn days :-)

26-10-2019 3:34pm

There was a brief sleety shower in Galway a short time ago.
