Monsoon conditions in Carlow Town!

an area of intense rainfall stretching from Kildare to Wexford and going nowhere fast, could easily dump 10 to 20mm of rain, depending on how long it sticks around for.

Graces7 · 22-09-2019 5:33pm

Lovely sunny evening out here... dry all day too.. Rare for the west to escape! Bliss! Even got some gardening done... I know; evanescent but nonetheless very healing and a pleasure

Oscar Bravo · 22-09-2019 5:58pm

A dry sunny mild evening in Castlebar.

DOCARCH · 22-09-2019 6:02pm

My thoughts too on the West. Over there at the weekend. Back in Leinster. Plenty rainfalls on drive after crossed the Shannon. Dry in Meath at the moment after plenty rain this morning I hear.

you've been very lucky to avoid that rain. It's now stretching from wexford to Donegal, but somehow it avoided both our locations.

PokeHerKing · 22-09-2019 6:54pm

Real tropical downpours in D24.

Mobhi1 · 22-09-2019 7:41pm

No rain here in Glasnevin since this morning until just now. Today's high temperature was 18.1C. It's now 14.9C. There's 7.8mm of rain recorded here now.

Donegal Storm · 22-09-2019 7:45pm

Nothing much in Letterkenny since heavy rain overnight/this morning either, just a dull damp day with the odd shower. Rain started up again now though

some places in Cavan and Fermanagh had a rain rate of 60-80mm/hr in some of those showers, not surprised to see Spanish style water running down the streets.

pad199207 · 22-09-2019 8:32pm

Kildare flooding today

https://twitter.com/kildaremet/status/1175815673576140800?s=21

Meteorite58 · 22-09-2019 9:22pm

Just trying to figure out how so much rain fell today in the aforementioned areas. Big convection as can be seen on the Satellite .

The charts show fairly high Theta E readings and lots of shear and on the lower levels a slight convergence zone especially North Midlands. Looks like the small system moved slowly up along the country as it has hemmed in by the cold front over the UK and with the relatively warm temperatures convection was able to make the most of the available moisture in the atmosphere ?

We had heavy rain here in s cavan during the afternoon but nothing torrential, you could see very dark skies northeast of here from late morning.
My sister went to do the shopping in lidl in Virginia and was stranded in the car such was the downpours, also said it was scary driving as the wipers werent fit to clear the windscreen.

Chris_5339762 · 22-09-2019 10:36pm

Very little to not a drop in Cork. Lovely day.

These sort of daily totals were so common here during the 2nd half of July & August that I'm almost numb to their significance.

Oscar Bravo · 22-09-2019 11:47pm

One from Westport during the fine spell last week around 7.50pm

Artane2002 · 23-09-2019 7:55am

Nice morning in Dublin 5. 50% of average sunshine or less this week doesn't sound good!

Graces7 · 23-09-2019 8:09am

Such a lovely morning! I know ; due to deluge but have enjoyed the early brightness immensely. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. " etc! revel in now! west mayo offshore

Mobhi1 · 23-09-2019 8:57am

Nice sunny morning here but it's only just gone beyond 10 degrees at 10.3C. I've just been reminded by MT Cranium that we've just passed the Autumn equinox a few minutes ago so some people say we've just gone into Autumn.

SleetAndSnow · 23-09-2019 9:41am

Miserable morning in cork city. Was lashing around 7:30 and now has been drizzle since

Graces7 · 23-09-2019 10:58am

Solid rain that clearly intends to stay a while. So fire lit for cheer and against wet chill.. Snugged in, and no need to be out again today... west mayo offshore

Lucreto · 23-09-2019 11:55am

Happy Fall Day Everyone!

According to Google anyway

Xenji · 23-09-2019 12:16pm

Dull and wet in Castlebar, but it is really the first time we have had persistent rain during morning/afternoon hours in nearly a week.

I had only 21 yesterday
Very heavy rain here in Arklow now

Light rain has just arrived.

Rain rate at the start here above 28mm/hr briefly
4.4mm so far
Current rate is 2.4mm/hr

Gonzo · 23-09-2019 1:37pm

rain arrived in Dunshaughlin too. The ground here has been wet since Saturday evening, I can see it staying wet for the next week with very little if any drying.

mickger844posts · 23-09-2019 1:48pm

13.0mm recorded at my Waterford station. Awful conditions.

Gonzo · 23-09-2019 2:02pm

I don't think I've seen the word 'thunder' mentioned so many times in a Met Eireann national forecast. https://www.met.ie/forecasts/national-forecast

There will be no shortage of rain over the next week, could be more trouble for areas already effected from yesterday's flooding.

Mobhi1 · 23-09-2019 2:26pm

The rain is heavier now. Thee's been 1.4mm recorded now in the last hour.

Gonzo · 23-09-2019 2:38pm

very heavy rain here too now, lots of surface water again.

Mortelaro · 23-09-2019 3:18pm

Meteorite58 · 23-09-2019 3:50pm

Got very mild here near Tralee after the front went through, 18.0C atm after getting up to 19.3C.

Just 2.4mm

Graces7 · 23-09-2019 3:54pm

Breezy and sun trying to emerge, but wind veiling it with scudding clouds. I see we are due heavy rain later again...but a peaceful enough autumnal day . west mayo offshore.

sideswipe · 23-09-2019 4:28pm

Very wet day here in east wicklow, wettest 48 hrs in a long while. Big contrast in weather from last week.

SleetAndSnow · 23-09-2019 4:35pm

Heavy showers in cork city all day, dried up for about 2-3 hours before another one just now.

Rock Lesnar · 23-09-2019 5:55pm

Rain starting to clear here now, thats now left 50mm since 10pm saturday night, Meath

redsteveireland · 23-09-2019 6:54pm

Making up for the horrible dry day we had in the west yesterday. Very dull grey evening with persistent rain.

km79 · 23-09-2019 7:17pm

Very poor driving conditions on motorway outside athenry after 6
Virtually no visibility due to heavy rain

vladmydad · 23-09-2019 8:39pm

It was like high summer and just a few days later it’s like the depths of winter. Definitely a winter sun holiday before Christmas.

Rock Lesnar · 23-09-2019 10:08pm

15mm from the latest Rain band, was really heavy for about an hour from 8pm

Donegal Storm · 23-09-2019 11:10pm

Not too bad today in Letterkenny, a mix of sun and cloud until mid afternoon when light rain started, some spits of rain all evening but no worse than most days all summer
