18mm here yesterday and about 8 today so far and no yellow weather warning in this area, must be bad where there is a weather warning

Yellow isn't a warning, it's an advisory
We farmers don't like yellow because all rain is bad even 9mm at this time of year if you're borderline in or out with the cattle
Advisory for 25 to 40mm though which is a lot of rain anyway
Lashing here now,was only spits or dry most of the day

Wow.met.ie has dozens of weather stations and you can really see where the totals are
Noisy on the roof rain here in bursts atm

Yes mother nature is trumping met models as to where exactly the persistent rain is
No shannon radar is not helping glasnevin cope either

Never stopped raining all day in dublin

Much the same here, Reggie. From a light drizzle to a heavy downpour, didn't stop all day.

Tis fairly wet here alright . I also have a chest infection and just hit my knee off the towbar of the jeep. Life is good

Life's always good once we're around to complain:)

Nice and dry here today, it's almost like summer except for the bitter breeze!!

Rainfall guessing without a guage is impossible
When the ground a few inches down is hard,a small amount does a lot more damage or pools a lot more so it looks like tonnes more fell

As Tim will know now,the standard gauge has not much bigger than a pinhole entry for rainwater
If the collector bucket had enough room for the amount of water in whelan2's calf feeder and all that came in 1 day,the floods would be roof high!

Its actually worse here
Dry is the only saving grace
Wind is gusting to 70kmh
Probably be hill snow locally overnight tomorrow night
Some of ye in the spine of the country down into west munster might see some

Dry all morning so far. Chanced spraying a knapsack sprayer full of weed killer. Weeds were annoying me looking at them

Raining almost constantly since before 7 this morning and bloody cold. Just at the last few bits to bring the cows in for good now, was edging the blades of the grab and couldn't feel my fingers with the cold and the wet:o

Cold rain here last few hours
Dark as night almost
