    Mad to see all the reports of torrential rain and flash floods. Dry here today in Naas with just a few drops of rain. Very threatening skies though!

    Sunny all day yesterday and today up here in North Donegal.

    Blue skies all day with very light white clouds. Zero rain.

    Not often we miss the worst of the weather.

    Checked the manual gauge just now and picked up another 3.8mm since 08.00 so that gives the following totals:

    Ardfert, Co.Kerry

    26.2mm since midnight
    56.2mm for event ( midnight Sat to Midnight Mon 14-09-15 )
    134.2mm since 18.00 Thurs 10-09-15

    Rain never far away today, showers of various strength and duration, the place is truly sodden from the last few days rain with much standing water in fields and many reports of roads flooded locally this morning, amazing how quick large amounts of rainwater can cut up the roads, dodging the pot holes today!

    Becoming drier this evening and near calm , possibly pick up another shower.


    ( will edit if further rain this evening )

    I'll post another map for Sunday-Monday totals (Tuesday afternoon probably) so be sure to post yours in this thread. Thanks. Some of your websites store the daily totals so I can get them indirectly, saves me some work if you do get a chance to post them.

    Then I will create a map that adds the first storm to this second event and we'll have a record of the four day (plus a bit of Thursday in west) totals.

    Totals here (Kilternan, South Dublin)

    11th - 18.8mm
    12th - 4.8
    13th - 5.8
    14th - 1.0

    (Amazing how 1mm of drizzle can give a dull damp day from early morning to late afternoon)

    This rain event has caused the cancellation of Listowel races for today and tomorrow. The racecourse is waterlogged. They are hoping hold the races on Wednesday where there is an important feature race The Kerry National.

    Was the above for all four days, or the past two? I can always edit more details into this map, so far this is what I have or can find for Sunday-Monday. The small areas of purple in Kerry and west Galway are based on radar and flood reports, locally totals may have exceeded 100 mm in those areas.

    That plan has worked out for them and will race tomorrow. I was told they took 35 tankers of water off the course and its surrounds on Monday and took 30 tankers off up to 3pm today.

    This is a summary of the total rainfalls for the four day (plus a few hours on Thursday) period and can be amended if anyone wants to add or alter any of these totals.

    362532.jpg

    Just an estimate from radar but 180-200 mm likely in some of the darker shaded areas close to the highest actual totals available.

    There was one significant error in my rainfall maps, and I'm not sure how this got into the work because I can't find "other numbers" nearby in tables that add up, but Ballyhaise in round one Friday-Saturday had only 10.3 not 30.6 as depicted so the grand total is off by a different amount (error convergence) and should read 14.0 which it will after I edit that map (can't edit the first one). I also have a few other very minor adjustments to add and one more report that I got by e-mail (which is how I discovered these other errors, thanks).
