    still raining outside, don't need to go outside to see if it's raining because all the gutters are overflowing with water splashing onto the pavement.

    If Australia would share some of its record breaking heat I'd gladly send over some of this rain.

    The radar on Met.ie does not reflect the rain we are currently experiencing in Cork City - it’s “relentless” as Siobhan would say :-P

    Peace all night and peace in the dawning. The tide is audible over the back field even though the ocean is flat calm..
    A quiet rhythmic breathing

    No warnings on met;ie! rare!

    Heralding a settled week, they say. Welcome!

    Intending to catch up on sleep as almost all is ready for a quiet Christmas

    Shortest day hovers in the wings, and so looking forward to it

    foggy after torrential rain for most of yesterday and heavy rain through most of the night. Dunsany getting close to 1000mm of rain for the year, something that is rarely ever achieved in this area. 2019 is certainly going to end up one of the wettest years in my lifetime, with the majority of it falling since August, particularly September to December. Looks reasonably unsettled right through to new years eve too.

    Comparing to Portugal I saw the following online.....

    'In fact, annual precipitation amounts to 1,450 mm (57 inches) in Braga and 1,100 millimeters (45 in) in Porto, while it drops to around 900 mm (35 in) in Coimbra, to 700 mm (27.5 in) in Lisbon, and to about 500 mm (20 in) in Algarve.'
