Really heavy hail showers overnight, my bed is right under a velux window so it kept waking me up every hour or so.

Is that snow report at Finner official? Early end to the forecast contest if it is!

NIALL D · 06-10-2011 9:25am

eskimocat · 06-10-2011 10:50am

It was very stormy last night. Electricty kept going off and on so I eventually unplugged laptop. No updates from Eskimocat Weather til I get home to plug it in again

There was hail reported locally, and heard a big clap of thunder this morning. Didn't see any lightning though

In Collooney, it has brightened up since earlier this morning, occasional showers but blue skies now.

Harps · 06-10-2011 11:49am

Really feels like winter today, bitterly cold out with strong winds and a torrential downpour of rain and hail every half an hour or so.

123balltv · 06-10-2011 11:56am

absolutely freezing cold here in Dublin

I saw it on the met.ie report section. I think it was the midnight one. Havn't seen any confirmation of it though.

Noticably cool outside here in Swords. Wind is the first one of the upcoming season that bites through you.

Snow shower reported at Finner Camp, 3.2mm

Met E website

Many of the measurements come from automated instruments with no human supervision. These are generally very reliable but, as with any system, human or automatic, errors can happen from time to time. During automatic operation, the "Weather" is estimated by an optical instrument. Classification of weather-type is significantly more difficult than measuring temperature or pressure and the result is occasionally incorrect. In particular, you may see a very occasional report of snow during periods of foggy weather.

here's the 23:00 report

mike65 · 06-10-2011 1:09pm

Nippy wind, but just the odd brief shower. Very spring like as it happens.

Pangea · 06-10-2011 2:08pm

Horrendous day here. Very strong gusts at the moment here in Donegal with driving rain/hail.

Awful day here, really heavy driving rain arriving like clockwork every half an hour or so. Got absolutely soaked walking for half an hour during a prolonged shower around 2pm

Strong gusts as well, 102km/hr at Malin on the 4pm report

Lumi · 06-10-2011 5:09pm

eskimocat · 07-10-2011 9:57am

When leaving the house this morning i had a giggle at a garden chair that had fallen over in the wind last night... reminded me of the pic of the 'damage' caused by previous storms.. but got the smile wiped of my face when i turned around to see some felt from the roof of my garden shed lying on the ground :rolleyes:

Anyway much calmer this morning... occasional showers of rain... lots of rainbows about.

Oscar Bravo · 07-10-2011 9:24pm

The radar isn't showing anything but an awful day here, visibility barely 10m at times with a constant thick fog and frequent showers. Miserable I think is the best word to describe it

I'm not sure about last night but after three days of heavy drizzle with a few heavier showers mixed in there is bound to be some flooding, it is Galway after all!

pauldry · 10-10-2011 10:34am

Road between Sligo and Geevagh saturated 30mm of rain overnight at least
