    What is it with Wexford and any rain falling for an hour max,once again it's an hour's precipitation this evening.

    Did you yourself not mention the Wexford rain shield a week or two ago?Obviously still functioning, for most of the time anyway.

    Very heavy in Dublin 8 now. It must be a couple of months since I've heard rain like this off the window

    Only lovely,the new spuds are a bit on the small side due to lack of rain.
    The Rocking Food Festival is on the bank holiday weekend here in Enniscorthy so I'm hoping the sun comes back after this weekend.

    On the same topic i.e.rain. Is anybody familiar with this expression 'it will rain itself out'- when it's raining so much that by the next morning it will have  stopped raining as there won't be any rain left in the sky! I said it to an Englsih friend a while back and I had to explain it. Is it an Irish expression?What would be a 'standard' English equivalent- thanks!

    ... a measly 3mm. As I feared the Wicklow rain shadow considerably weakened the band of heavy rain that moved up from the south. More rain approaching south Wexford now but I see no reason why there shouldn't be a repeat performance for the Dublin area - in other words, only a few mms.

    It was lovely last night, as the daylight faded, listening to heavy rain, and hearing the thirsty land drinking deep, and the dessicated roots expanding and reaching upwards.. past the scorched surface...

    Still raining; cats coming n dripping wet....

    Reading posts here..

    A healing.

    Nature never ceases to amaze me. Two weeks ago my lawn resembled a desert. Now it's actually green again. The sound of the rain falling earlier was actually very pleasant to listen to !!

    Lashing in Sligo

    Nothing much showing on radar but let me assure you its bucketing

    However with Sligos microclimate its sunny on Knocknarea but pouring a few fields away so maybe just a stagnant thunderstorm im in

    Please make it lash for 3 to 4 days and return to heat for 2 weeks and then ill be happy.

    After all the UK has still to break its record temperature as
    Tokyo
    Montreal
    and
    Arctic Circle have

    Very heavy bursts of rainfall here in south county Dublin, the last shower was for a duration of 30 minutes or so, and 2mm of rain fell. We've had showers off and on since 10am. The water barrel in my back garden is filling nicely now
