    It rained for a good 5 hours here in south sligo. A lot more than 5.7mm. More like 20mm plus.

    Yeah could see the black clouds down that direction.

    Spitted rain here around 3 and then got heavier around 530 and stopped completely at 8. Nothing like 20mm but could have been 10mm

    See an interesting delevelopment on wetterzentrale where the Azores High is replaced by a storm. It stays out there for at least 5 or 6 days. What impact will this have on our weather.

    Will the Azores High come to live here for a week since they have Low.

    My total today (midnight to midnight) was a modest 9.1 mm.

    Looks to be getting pretty serious now in the SW.

    I'm impressed with the lightness of the rain we have been getting considering 5 miles down the road they are getting 6mm plus.

    If you don't have a rain gauge, a simply mug, with equal diameter at both top and bottom, will work just as good if left in a well exposed place. Just use a ruler to measure the amount of water in the cup after a rain event.

    Watching the radar overnight, persistent heavy rain in an area bounded by Killarney, Macroom, Bantry and Kenmare. Would appear to be at least 50 mm. Expect some flooding issues to develop from any rivers that rise in that area.

    Rain should ease off somewhat in Kerry, Clare and Connacht, but will begin to spread east and cover most of Munster, south Leinster with 20-40 mm rainfalls during the day.

    I can see the river in Macroom about to burst if this rain keeps up! It burst in the town park on Friday but I think yesterday & overnight the rain was worse than Friday.

    No unusual rain here in Longford. Just 2.3mm yesterday.
    Unfortunately when I went to get a chart for the few days I noticed it didn't match what I saw.
    Sure enough there was a dead fly blocking the hole and a spider nesting under the rocker of my rain gauge. (Maybe animals can affect the reported weather after all!)

    Oh well, so much for the "Indian Summer" :rolleyes:
    Only 14th September, this is going to be a long winter if this is anything to go by.
    We got about a week of dry weather. Still places where crops have yet to be harvested.

    I kept checking your data as I thought it would be worse but I haven't seen rain like this in years. Road outside the house which is on a hill was like a river

    I was driving towards Maam on Friday evening and the runoff on the hills was a spectacular sight - I'm not surprised there have been landslides etc. Connemara took quite a hammering!!

    There has been a couple out towards Cleggan and also on the Sky Road. There could be more but the roads are largely still
    Impassable

    Fairly weird weather here the last hour. Short, sharp bursts of torrential rain with huge drops that stop again a few seconds later. Could actually hear the rain falling in the distance before it hit each time. Sky also looks very thundery but alas, no thunder. :o

    It's a bit all over the place though. That other thread is for B]Model/Technical Discussion Only[/B and Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Spring/Summer 15 . They are 2 seperate topics. Merging them into the same thread is just confusing. Anyway back on topic no rain since this morning.
