    Thundery downpours are downpours with thunder. So they're not thundery downpours then?

    Thinking a Yellow warning might have been warranted for all this rain.
    Must be spot flooding in places?

    Not that I know of, they said heavy rain but didn’t think it would be like this!!

    Surely there’ll be flooding if this keeps up

    Well It's heavy alright. Will you need a boat or some kind if it continues.

    The September dry spell has come to an end. Heavy rain now bucketing down here in Dunshaughlin and for me today marked the end of any summer style weather and the transition into proper Autumn/Winter, so the shorts and t-shirts are put away for another year.

    We can very often get pleasantly warm sunny weather right up to mid October(we did last year as far as I remember) so it may not be time to put them away just yet. Granted it doesn't look too promising for the next few weeks.

    True we can get nice sunny days in October or any winter month, but the temperature levels we had over past few days won't be there.

    Eejits. Irish windscreen wipers have three speeds. Light, heavy and Irish...

    Listening to drums on the roof just now and the garden is well watered.. No one has ever explained why the ocean does not overflow.

    all I can hear is the sound of lawnmowers, strimmers and clippers throughout the area, everyone rushing to get the gardening done before the rain.

    It has been tractors all day here! same idea..

    Sligo Airport got up to 22c on 10 October last year but such days are very uncommon.

    Very , utterly still and very utterly dark. Heavy rain in the night and the moon is shrouded in mist, a vague shape far, far away... as soon as there is a glimmer of light I will go for my daily wander along one of the lanes and see what is to see, or not as low clouds shroud and hide mountains.

    Such deep, deep silence.

    Heavy rain all night here in Meath and more on the way, as Gonzo said, it might be time to put the shorts away, but as i always wear them inside the house, i'll give them another few days outside yet anyway
