    A very dry day in the south east. It is amazing how spilt the weather can be on this island.

    Launching the Ark now in Galway what a day of rain and it's still lashing down

    August 30th 2019, the day of the drizzle.

    As I suggest out earlier, only to be attacked, the ECM and Harmonie both grossly overestimated the rainfall totals for today for my town today.

    New Moon

    It's about 20kms away.

    Many days you see polar opposite weather. Wet and misty in the city, dry in Athenry or clear sunny day in Salthill/ Galway city and cloudy and dull in Athenry.

    The biggest difference I have noticed between Galway and my 'satellite town' is the wind. Galway has to be the windiest city in Ireland.

    New Moon

    Very light rain here near Tralee today with the front staying mostly off the coast and the mountains doing a good job of soaking up much of what made it inland around here.

    The front edges closer this evening and will be drawn in across the country tonight. Rain picking up here now 3.8mm.

    Should be mostly gone through by 02.00 to 03.00

    A day of heavy rain, and it's still falling...between Oranmore and Athenry. This is more akin to weather in Autumn or Winter moreso than August judging by my pictures from this time of year on previous occasions....


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,834 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Another 5.4mm in Belmullet

    Sligo has 18mm today
    Newport 40mm
    Athenry about 30mm sick of adding
    Finner about 35mm


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,386 ✭✭✭JoeA3


    Absolutely appalling rain in Galway as I type. It’s lashing all day long and only seems to be getting heavier.

    I know “it always rains in Galway” but I can’t remember an August as bad as this, it’s been incessant:( I’m trying to get a building job done right now though which is making me acutely aware of it. Crap timing.

    Here’s hoping for the fabled Indian summer but a glance at the forecast for next week looks like it’s more of the same FFS.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    47.8mm now in Castlebar, looks like we will hit 50mm by midnight.

    Actually looking back we had 81mm on the 14th of October 2015, which was the most that fell in 24 hours in the last 60 years here.

    It was actually the 14th of November 2015.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭Donegal Storm


    Have no figures here but its been moderate to heavy rain non stop since around 3pm (after about 20 hours of light rain before that) and judging by the radar we're nowhere near done yet.

    Tops off one of the worst summer weeks in memory for me

    Not sure that's the right date as mid-October 2015 was anticyclonic, before a change occurred on the 20th ushering in a more unsettled end.

    EDIT: You mean 14th November 2015 when the remnants of a hurricane hit Ireland?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,229 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland


    33mm so far sw donegal wettest day in a while


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,834 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Were still only at 18mm in Sligo

    In fact since 9pm theres been barely any

    Tonight though another 10mm

    Nowhere near the record of Desmond for my rain gauge. There was over 90mm then. Our alley flooded completely. Never has since

    Yeah you are right, looking again it was November and we had over 350mm of rain that month.

  • Backend of the front now showing on latest radar. Clearance should push on to the Mayo coast in next hour or so.

    So 53.4mm for the 24 hour period in Castlebar and currently we are having the heaviest falls of the day now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,242 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    The rain we have had here in Castlebar has just been extraordinary. It feels odd to look out the window and record what feels like an almost everyday event but I can't recall such a sustained downpour.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭Donegal Storm


    As heavy as its been all day here, I think the scientific term is 'pissing down'


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,766 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Very heavy rain going through Tralee now.

    14mm

  • Very heavy rain going through Tralee now.

    14mm

    Stopped now in the Westport area. The amount that has come down would rival any decent winter day. Back garden flooded. Manhole cover removed to let excess flow away. Normally only do this for the wettest days.

    Some nice rain falling here now.
