    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.

    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.

    Real tropical downpours in D24.

    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.

    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.

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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,021 ✭✭✭Artane2002


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Mobhi1


    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    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

    Happy Fall Day Everyone!

    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.

    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.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,467 Mod ✭✭✭✭mickger844posts


    13.0mm recorded at my Waterford station. Awful conditions.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,962 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Mobhi1


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


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,962 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


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

    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.
