    And 11.1mm at the university.

    Good job we have one of the best radar systems in Europe so we could see all this rain heading for us...

    Haven't had much rain here in Glasnevin yet. There's only been 1.2mm recorded since yesterday. Although it looks like that blob over Galway/Roscommon could be headed here later. It's also a cool, breezy day at 16.9C. The day's high was 18.8C, the third day that failed to reach 20 this month and the first day that failed to reach 19.

    Few spitty showers in Lucan during the 4 hours I was on the golf course. Nothing especially heavy though. Wind was up alright. YR NO way off the mark as far as the predicted rainfall is concerned, met to a lesser extent.

    Radar showing.... nothing in Donegal.

    My eyes showing.....a flipping monsoon in NW Donegal anyway, for the last two hours!

    Wish I had some figures.

    Intense rain finished in Galway. Drizzly.
    Friend sent me pics with blue skies in Wexford. Windy in those parts she said.

    Use the netweather radar, it has a feed from Belfast I think so gets Donegal, either way it shows rain in NW Donegal.

    That blob of rain just seems to be trying to move southeast but keeps hanging around Meath Louth etc. Keep thinking it's coming towards North Dublin all day but has held off pretty much. M1 earlier was terrible.

    Just finished in the last half hour in Roscommon.
    Constant deluge from 2pm to 9pm.
    Flooded fields and roads.
    Estimate 50-60mm today.
    Surely that's yellow/Amber warning territory??

    Pretty much sums it up, had about an hour of dry weather around 11 or 12, but since then its been heavy rain, plenty of water lying on roads and in fields, we had a small basin outside and its between half and 3/4's full

    Still just very windy in West cork, lashing in the city according to siblings but it's at least dry down here (besides one or two drops). It has eased a bit but the sea is still crazy!

    Because Galwegians are immune to yellow warnings through over exposure .. no point issuing them anymore .

    That amount would be red warning. I ran the radar and compared hourly rainfall amounts reported from Athenry (26 mm), Mountdillon (14 mm), Mullingar (24 mm), Ballyhaise (27 mm) and Dunsany (11 mm). (my totals of the relevant period in brackets -- most of the Athenry total was over two hours from 4 to 6 pm).

    Where were you in relation to Mountdillon? Radar loop does seem to back up your estimate in some localized areas and I was surprised by the low totals from Mountdillon given the intense two-hour report from Athenry. Maybe the eventual daily total will be revised upward.

    We're 60km East of Athenry and 60k South of My Dillon.
    I did notice from radar that Mt Dillon and Mullingar were on the fringes.
    I think there may still be a climatology station in Ballygar - its probably the closest to the areas that got the most rain.
    Edit: measured 50mm in a rudimentary guage (wheelbarrow!) here

    Wheelbarrows have sloped sides so unless you accounted for this in your calculations it would be less than 50mm.

    My weather station is a bucket and its diameter at the top is more than that at the bottom so I account for that when determining actual rainfall.

    That's right. Was 78mm of water. 50mm of rain when adjusted for area.
    Barrow leaking too so that's why I estimated 50-60
    Must get guage back working :pac:

    Yesterday in North County Dublin (Balbriggan to be more exact) the rain was biblical. Been a long time since I saw that amount fall in a day. However when heading down to Croker along the M1 shortly after the Applegreen the roads were barely wet.

    Today we were cycling between Julianstown and Duleek and the river Nanny has burst it banks and the two bridges that lead up to Bellewstown were very close to being breached. A lot of riders from the area said they have never seen the river that high before.

    Yeah my son and I were discussing the possibility of the match been cancelled due to the amount of flooding and standing water in NCD obviously thinking that most of North Dublin would be getting something similar but as I said above barely 5km down the road and it was barely raining.
