    Posted earlier about that sharp cut off on the east coast from the overnight rain
    The Arklow wow is about 8 kms north of me at the rugby club 28mm
    Clonanny about 15kms south of me 9mm (in common with johnstown I think)
    Me in between the two 15mm

    Clearly a heavier band started to come inland mid Arklow somewhere up as far as Bray
    I heard there was traffic mayhem in Ne wicklow during rush hour this morning

    Lashing rain in Galway plenty of floods on roads thought we were not to get rain here

    You're living in Galway long enough to know better than that. It's easier count the days it didn't rain in Galway than days that it did.

    I don't think I've ever heard a radio forecast like the one by Gerry Murphy at 755 am on radio one this morning for Eastern areas
    Rain every day for the next week
    Spot flooding every day
    No let up at all

    Looking that way.

    The East is the new West!

    The East is the new West!

    I'm afraid the East needs to try a little harder to be the new West, as west coast stations are still coming in with the highest November totals this month so far:

    Top 3 wettest stations in the Wesht (up to yesterday)
    Valentia: 129.8mm
    Newport: 126.2mm
    Belmullet: 120.8mm

    Top 3 wettest stations in the Easht:
    Dunsany: 115.6mm
    Dublin Apt: 111.6mm
    Phoenix Park: 102.4mm.
    (Met Eireann)

    The East needs to up its game a bit. It is dealing with a long experienced, hardened opponent here. No time for pussy-footing around!

    Only 35mm?! Feels like a foot by now and no let up, just variation in how heavy it is at any given moment.

    add another 8mm

    On another note Waterford is listed for heavy rain for the rest of night so why is the Orange warning stopping at 18.00?

    Clonmel's flood defences will be put to the test.

    I believe there has been some talk on social media about Clonmel flooding.

    The defences were really tested in 2015 where the levels were much higher and they passed pretty well.

    The area in the photo is designed to flood as it is between the defences.
    The Convent bridge is closed but once again that is planned for and access across the town is still possible (with maybe a bit more congestion).

    If that fence is the flood defense I say all hope is lost :D
