Very loud thunder now in Galway

Redsunset · 06-09-2010 2:41am

Well all i can say is mental rain falling at the moment. Some doubted earlier the intensity of it but i had full faith because it was always gonna be a slow moving front.

ronnie3585 · 06-09-2010 2:43am

Yeah very loud thunder and extremely heavy rain here in Galway city. Had four flashes in the last twenty minutes followed by huge claps of thunder. It woke me up but I'll allow it.

Another flash there!!

Torrential rain accompanied by thunder and lightning in Galway city for the last half hour or so

jd007 · 06-09-2010 2:54am

Absolutely bucketing rain in galway city for the past half hour. I've seen round 5 or 6 bolts of lightning and there's been a good bit of thunder also.

fishmahboi · 06-09-2010 2:56am

Nice weather in Galway guys

Redsunset · 06-09-2010 2:56am

Mother of god what is that coming in hell?

Ireland is being attacked by the evil forces of ganon

19VanD87 · 06-09-2010 3:10am

Wind starting to pick up just now in dublin was quiet there for a bit

M.T. Cranium · 06-09-2010 3:18am

Looks like strawberries and cream left out for a couple of days ...

... the colour pattern is based on infra-red temperature sensing in a night satellite image, so the yellow-white is cold (high cloud tops) and the darker stuff is warm (not much cloud in Spain so the sensor is getting mostly the 21 C surrface temperatures there). Not sure what the red batch is showing, perhaps it's an air mass being highlighted? Anyway Redsunset can tell you. That red area is basically the cooler maritime air mass that is moving into the frontal zone from the west. There are some showers in it so you can see a few whitish splotches.

The heaviest rain is now just moving on shore in Wexford and Waterford, so we'll have to see how it holds together as it moves further north. The UK radar has shown a slight decrease in intensity since midnight but not that much. There was more lightning with this batch than with the Galway stuff earlier so ??? perhaps more lightning in the southeast than we've seen yet in this system.

Deep Easterly · 06-09-2010 3:22am

Woken up by downpour outside :eek: Davis has recorded 8.4mm so far and readinga 72/mmph rain rate

make that 10.6mm so far!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit, just noticed Claremorris recorded an hourly fall of 10.4mm up to 3am on the met site, I am not surprised.

amacachi · 06-09-2010 5:03am

Pissing down here all night. Hoping North County Dublin isn't too bad, motorway's flooded more than once before and with the work on the service stations I can't see it going much better and I need to get to a feckin exam.

snaps · 06-09-2010 5:17am

stopped raining here now, but was woke up a few times between 2am and 4am by horrific rain and thunder! wind completly died down, ve ry spooky!

Chicken Run · 06-09-2010 6:46am

Torrential in Clare now... Not woken by any thunder or lightning though

lord lucan · 06-09-2010 7:08am

Hasn't been too bad in West Dublin. Very windy but nothing extraordinary on the rain front yet.

DOCARCH · 06-09-2010 7:20am

Wet and windy (no surprise!

). 11.7mm so far (since yesterday).

Su Campu · 06-09-2010 7:23am

12 and 24hr rainfall totals up to 7am this morning

12hr

24hr

DOCARCH · 06-09-2010 7:32am

Very light figures there for Dublin Su? I've recorded 10.2mm in the 24hrs up to 0700.

IMC042 · 06-09-2010 7:35am

Damn it, i fell asleep! Was there any lightning in cork?

Deep Easterly · 06-09-2010 7:56am

46.2mm (47.4mm on La Crosse gauge) so far since midnight here and still raining, if at a more moderate pace than earlier.

Stats from Davis Pro: (up to 7.35am)

Rain Rate (mm/ph) since last night:

Weatherlink's "climatological summary':

More rain recorded here since midnight than the whole of August last...

Nice one!!!

Edit. more stats! (imby I know..)

15 min rainfall accumulation graph for here from midnight up to 8.30am (non running)

Highest 15min fall of 6.60 mm occurred between 3.15am and 3.30am.
Highest hourly fall occured between 3.00am and 4.00am which amounted to an impressive 18.79 mm

Daily total now up to 48.3mm, which is all the more impressive (to me anyway

) since all but 0.3mm of that total fell in the 6 hrs between 3.00am and 9.00am.

snaps · 06-09-2010 8:21am

Low and behold the sun is trying to come out here, could be a nice day after all that rain, thunder and wind last night? I notice the garden furniture has decided to move itself to the other side of the garden.

BoardsRanger · 06-09-2010 8:23am

The forecasts seem to give continuous rain for the southeast for the day but from looking at the radar- it would appear the the rain will move north of wexford/wicklow sometime soon. Is there more on the way?

That's what the 06UTC SYNOP reports gave, 0.6mm for Casement and 2.6mm for Dublin Airport (though report below shows 2.0mm). It's very possible you got locally enhance rainfall from the nearby mountains to your south.

Obviously that's the case. Went to Malahide yesterday at lunchtime. Left a drizzly Rathfarnham and once I got to Tallaght on the M50 it was dry all the way. On the way back, in the afternoon, it was dry most of the way until I got back to a rainy Rathfarnham!

Total here now 15.3mm

Redsunset · 06-09-2010 9:19am

For those wondering about the airmass sat pic,here's a guide.

Discodog · 06-09-2010 9:24am

It's turning into a sunny morning West of Galway & very calm after the pounding last night. Yr are showing rain all day for Galway but the BBC & ME radar suggest that it will be dry here.

I did not see any lightening, but sat signal faded in an out several times. I must be deaf as I heard nothing in Cork last night.

mickger844posts · 06-09-2010 10:03am

35.5mm here since 8pm last night. Just light rain at the moment.

06-09-2010 10:17am

Woken up in south wicklow by overnight thunder but slumbered back asleep quickly with the black out curtains pulled.
Very heavy rain crashing down at the time and earlier.
Quite a lot of standing water around this morning.
I've no idea of the rainfall amount but it's probably well over an inch going on experience of what that looks like and possibly closer to 2.

Dry now though and a bit brighter

God damn it! Excuse the blasphamy.

Why do we always have these blustery messy storms that are more depressing than exciting. I want to see a huge green american style supercell and i want it now!

Accu Weather indicates a heavy risk of thunderstorms for the south all day today and estofex apparently cant rule out the possibility of a weak / brief tornado.

pauldry · 06-09-2010 10:49am

"only" 16mm of rain in Sligo so far. We got away with fairly light rain for most of yesterday. As far as Connaught is concerned Mayo and Galway have borne the brunt of this rain event. Some impressive totals are likely for Claremorris and Knock Airport.

pauldry · 06-09-2010 10:50am

There is a real heavy pulse of rain heading towards Devon and Cornwall that may skirt with the SE of Ireland bringing some thunder

Lumi · 06-09-2010 11:16am

Luckily I retrieved my rain gauge from under the shrubbery before last night's event. 32mm in the last 24hrs and 26mm of that fell between midnight and 8AM.

BluesBerry · 06-09-2010 11:23am

Powerful stats Fiona, it's fantastic to have some rainfall stats from Galway City at last!!!

Moycullen registered 37.0mm (I presume since midnight), so defo a wet one across city and county last night.

Mothman, do you have any recent figures for Mullingar? as judging by the rainfall sequence for the last 12 hrs that part of the country seemed to get a fair whack from this front as well.

sliabh beagh · 06-09-2010 11:38am

33.6mm of rain so far in monaghan town

naughto · 06-09-2010 12:06pm
