I have had 87mm this month, so far.

You'd know better than anyone else on here, but is there a source where we can look at daily data from stations in the North? I've looked through the UKMO site several times and can't find anything. The UK Met office site is a great resource in many ways, but they seem remarkably stingy with their station data.

And weathercast used to have live data from each station, now that has been replaced with weatherpro.

Similar here in Dublin 16, but forecasting 34.3mm in 2 hours!

Seems to have been corrected now.

The airmass coming in tonight is looking less marginal than thought. Dew points as low as -3c, with wet bulb freezing levels <200 metres for large areas of the island.

Nice mild bright day here today would love a couple of months of this. Pleasure to go out in no slush no icy rain or wind that would cut you in 2.

We've had pretty much none of this in East Cork so far this winter, amazing how different the weather can be over a short distance. Going by your name i'm 50km away.

Nqp15hhu · 29-01-2021 3:45pm

The temperatures and dew point are on the way down here, now 5.6c.

Wow, would I like to live in a place that had that every so often!

You'd have to live up a mountain in California for that. I once drove up there in a storm actually, up to Lake Tahoe. Would not recommend. The only reason I got past the barriers on I80 was because I got lost in Sacramento and took a back road by mistake, rejoining later. At that stage they had closed the freeway east of Sacramento but I missed it.

I could just see the car in front of me, that was the only way to drive, follow the hazy red lights. If he, or the guy he was following, was a goner and we all were since quite a few were following me. Anyway got to the destination about 7 hours late. Did stop for chains.

(This was in March or April).

Of all the reporting Met Eireann stations up to yesterday, the two coldest for the month of January so far are Mullingar on 3.1c and Ballyhaise with 3.2c. In contrast, the top two warmest are Sherkin Island & Valentia with 6.0c and 6.1c respectively. Wettest stations are Newport on 203.6mm and Athenry 145.0mm, with the two driest being Moorpark showing off with its 49.2mm and Gurteen not far behind on 66.0mm.

You know where I get this data from? Met Eireann, that's where.

Ballyhaise & mullingar consistently the coldest stations

Dazler97 · 29-01-2021 5:33pm

I think Dublin should be added in that rain warning especially from the city centre southwards

can hear the wind howling outside and we've lost that very mild feeling we've had for the past 72 to 96 hours. Tomorrow to Monday are going to feel notably raw.

Cork981 · 30-01-2021 3:37am

Seriously bad weather in Cork tonight. Strong persistent gusts and heavy downpours. I’m surprised a yellow warning wasn’t issued.

Thelonious Monk · 30-01-2021 7:35am

Seriously bad morning in Dublin, wind and rain woke me up

Humberto Salazar · 30-01-2021 7:59am

Rain and strong southwesterlies are one thing. But heavy rain on a strong easterly, is fresh hell indeed.

bazlers · 30-01-2021 9:18am

Great insight on outcome probabilities in MTCs forecast.

appledrop · 30-01-2021 9:50am

This morning in NCD is worse than any of those hyped up 'Storms' or weather warnings.

Awake most of night with it.

Should be yellow warning for rain and wind for Dublin.

Thats mad, only 7.6mm since 9am yesterday here in my area of meath, temperature currently 3.1c

Thelonious Monk · 30-01-2021 10:22am

I think I might subscribe to the spring starting in February thing if it means getting rid of this bullsh*t weather.

Oscar Bravo · 30-01-2021 10:25am

A wet and breezy morning across the country:
9am
Malin head gusting 44 knots
Dublin airport 38 knots
Casement 37 knots
Shannon 33 knots

While the winds are not that strong they are from an Easterly direction leaving some places more exposed than the usual westerly winds.

Must be minor as traffic is moving well. Windy in North Kildare and very gusty. Heavy rain has eased to moderate. Temperature is 3.9°.

Just passed it. Nothing major.

King of Spades · 30-01-2021 10:58am

Just went for a run on the hill of Tara. 4 degrees getting out of the car and just 2 degrees getting back in 40 mins later. Bits of sleet in the rain now too. Bitter east wind.

Oscar Bravo · 30-01-2021 11:05am

Dublin Airport gusting 40 knots at 10am in moderate rain. Temperature just 4 degrees

Ha ha but seriously Cluedo its currently 45 knots at Casement and 83km/h which is a Strong Gale on Beaufort scale and not a word about yellow wind warning from Met Eireann except for Marine areas!

Perhaps read the met eireann site before bashing them

Weather Criteria for Yellow – Weather Alerts:
Wind:Mean Speeds between 50 and 65 km/h
Gusts between 90 and 110 km/h

Wine Goddess · 30-01-2021 1:22pm

Anything, ANYTHING is better than this deluge or mild rainy weather.
I have really enjoyed the cold crisp weather with blue skies (great for walks as that's all we can do anyway) and as Sryanbruen pointed out recently January has had above average sunshine ðŸŒž.
Sunshine and blue skies in January is better than most of our summers!!!!
So any whisper of a dusting or even a few centimetres of white gold will go a long way to lifting my spirits.

pad199207 · 30-01-2021 2:00pm

40 mm on the windward side of the Wicklow Mtns and 4mm on the leeward side. Snow likely to be piling up on the highest peaks.

Donegal Storm · 30-01-2021 2:02pm

Windy but dry in Letterkenny, the wind has dried the concrete and paving for the first time in what feels like months.

This airmass feels very continental in origin. Only 60% humidity and very dry.

Why would they issue a warning for just ****ty weather below all criteria? Just because you don't want to bring kids out in rain doesn't mean the national met office should issue a warning. Horribleness is not a criterion that any sane met service would use. It's nothing special when it comes to winds. :rolleyes:

Nqp15hhu · 30-01-2021 2:14pm

Only recorded 30mph here.
