Those LEDs are nice alright, but come a foggy period we'll miss the orange ones' better transmission.

pad199207 · 26-09-2019 6:31pm

Garden flooded. Street outside partially flooded. 11mm in about 8-10mins I’d say.

Danno · 26-09-2019 8:36pm

Just 0.8mm here in south Laois for the day (AWS). Interestingly, a savage downpour nearby around 6.45pm. The town side of the bridge was bone dry, the north side drenched. Such a difference over 15 metres! Cool at 12.2c presently after a high of 16.4c (AWS)

Rock Lesnar · 26-09-2019 8:39pm

Dry and breezy all day here, incredibly missed all the showers, twice we missed while a neighbour about .5km across the field got soaked

Monday and Tuesday look very cool at the moment looking at MT's forecast, with highs of only 10-12c.

pad199207 · 27-09-2019 8:09am

Miserable morning with moderate rain and breezy.

18mm since yesterday evening

18mm recorded in athenry in the space of 6 hours overnight according to the met Éireann forecast at 7.55 on radio 1

Graces7 · 27-09-2019 8:36am

Just in from a lovely wild walk in between deluges; clear sky here then looking at the horizon to see vertical water falling... Now here too.

I rather enjoy the drama of this weather. No boredom, and ingenuity needed.

Just 0.2mm here in Arklow overnight at the other side of the mountains
Ground is now bone dry,its breezy and the sun is out
Just a couple of light passing showers yesterday too in an otherwise nice day
Completely different world

SleetAndSnow · 27-09-2019 9:05am

Lashing all morning in cork city but brightening up now. Expecting more showers during the day though

vladmydad · 27-09-2019 9:09am

Absolutely horrendous week.

The past week has definitively been one of the wettest weeks of the year in some parts of the country. The next week looks no dryer.

Xenji · 27-09-2019 2:16pm

Some torrential downpours in the last hour in Castlebar.

Newport holding pride of place this September for being the wettest station so far, with totals up to yesterday up to 143.1mm. Ballyhaise in second place at 131.0mm.

Big difference to the 34.9mm in Gurteen and 35.3mm at Roches Pt. Nationally, % figure is 89% of the average monthly total so far (this will rise before month's end) which ranges from 165% in Ballyhaise to just 41.5% at Roches Pt.

...Stats from Met Eireann.

I’d say most if not all of that Roches Point was in the last week! September was very good up until then.

I dunno how your escaping with such good weather! Even London and the south-east of England has rotten weather.

In fairness it's been dry here at Dunshaughlin since this morning, but there were some very beefy showers overnight.

igCorcaigh · 27-09-2019 4:44pm

Graces7 · 27-09-2019 5:52pm

commiserations.. for once west coast is fine.. windy and deluges tonight though. stay safe.

Both. I think we’re going to get the tail end of a storm next week.

Kutebride · 27-09-2019 8:53pm

Surprised how Calm and dry Meath is this evening and so far tonight. Can definitely feel how much cooler it is.

km79 · 27-09-2019 9:19pm

Just the 8.2mm last hour in athenry
Badly needed if we are to avoid a drought next year when we have 2 dry weeks in spring

It's been very wet there, we get it. No need to keep on repeating it daily.

Just 42.8mm in September as of this minute
Remember your trip looking out the plane window as you headed to spain and the clouds cleared in east Wicklow and wexford versus Cloudy Dublin airport and Dunshaughlin at the time?
Expecting over 20mm or more tomorrow night here tho

That's fine but less of the sarcastic moaning tone would be appreciated.

It has rained basically every day since July
A lot of those days 10-20mm
Record breaking August
How do you want me to feel!

Won’t post here again for a while so.
Don’t want to offend anyone by reporting the bad weather in my area
Maybe everyone should do the same
We can just look at the radar anyway
Good times

igCorcaigh · 27-09-2019 10:33pm

Not meaning to derail, but does anyone else think that we have had much more torrential downpours over the last 10 years or so?

When I was a kid in the 80's it used to be frequent soft day misty weather. Now, more longer dry spells and then torrents.

Anybody feel the same?

It has been bad here but Athenry really has been getting the brunt of it these last couple of months to the point of being relentless.

There's only been slightly more here in Glasnevin in September , so far. 47.5mm.

SleetAndSnow · 27-09-2019 11:08pm

Surprisingly cork airport is only reporting 46.5mm of rain so far this September, has felt like a lot more with very heavy bursts of rain including this morning. Roches point even less at 35.3 and Moore park at 43.6. That week of warm, dry weather must have really helped the situation though with the warning tomorrow the total will jump up a bit I think.

Graces7 · 28-09-2019 7:44am

It has gone very ,very quiet after a loud, gusty and wet night. Not a sound or a whisper..... shhh!

Personally I don't think so,the eighty's for me had plenty of thundery down pours and much more hail

pauldry · 28-09-2019 9:24am

Yes and the problem looking at the radar as Km said is that theres no coverage here so our 30mm didnt even show on it. Bad Floods down by Doorley Park.

Oscar Bravo · 28-09-2019 9:54am

There are hints that the second half of October could be dryer, but the first half of October is looking like a bit of a washout. We can safely say we won't be seeing any more 20C and sunny days till next year.

Yes the charts hinting of a better second half but they where hinting at a cold plunge into eastern America,but I fear the Atlantic is firing up and might not be easy to quite back down.
It really reminds me of autumn 2017 similar start and strong looking wind storm looking likely at the end of the week

at one stage we were looking at a quiet final few days of September and first week of October, that's now been pushed to the second half of October, I think we know where this one is going! The Long range charts is also very grim indeed for those who want a cold and seasonal winter this year.
