100mm in the gauge for August here now

Well on the way to my wettest August since I began recording

Meanwhile only 67mm in Arklow
Not so bad
Nice day today
Sunny 15.2c but you wouldn't be out in a t shirt unless you were doing something energetic

Mobhi1 · 19-08-2019 11:25am

And 67.1mm here in Glasnevin. It's also nice and sunny but breezy and cool. It's 15.6C.

Artane2002 · 19-08-2019 1:27pm

Really nice in Dublin today, if it stays this way then it's going to be the best day since I came back on the 9th and even so there hasn't been a dry day.

I’m in lovely scorching heat right now but my friend just told me she got soaked on the way to St Stephens green at lunch. RTÉ says high of 15 tomorrow. There’s no dressing it up it’s a manky summer climate we get.

Wrong! I'm just back from strolling around Grafton street on my lunch hour, dry and sunny there, absolutely beautiful!

techdiver · 19-08-2019 2:10pm

It's one thing having bad weather. It's the useless forecasting that annoys me the most. You can't rely on it. Example: yesterday I checked the forecast for Thursday and it said no rain zilch! I checked again an hour ago and it's to be a washout. Not just an isolated shower. Just constant rain. How can met eireann be so off?

sryanbruen · 19-08-2019 2:13pm

Heavy shower now in Dublin 13.

Xenji · 19-08-2019 2:16pm

Dull, wet and blustery in Castlebar, basically it has been a copy and paste job for the last 4 days with the odd period of sunshine in between showers.

I find accuweather better than met for forecasts

Kutebride · 19-08-2019 3:07pm

Heavy shower passed at 230pm. Dublin 2. Blue skies again.

Wednesday's forecast looks like brutal band of rain. Hopefully not during daytime hours for outdoor activities?

francie81 · 19-08-2019 3:18pm

Quite pleasant here in the northeast plenty of sunshine not as many passing showers as previous days.

Gonzo · 19-08-2019 3:31pm

crap day here in Meath, there are some spells of sunshine but alot of heavy frequent showers making doing anything outside a no go. Also feeling cool with temperatures hovering around 16C.

Tigerandahalf · 19-08-2019 3:39pm

So is the good spell due in around Friday?
It has been an awful few days in the west. The showers are so frequent and heavy.

I'd love to know how much rain fell in the galway area last Saturday week. It was an awful day. It must have been over 50mm of rain.

Lady_North1 · 19-08-2019 5:03pm

Currently in Swords....

There have been a few showers since that post alright but nothing heavy in DCC since 2pm, the ground is dry as if it never rained. Dublin 5 meanwhile doesn't look so dry.

PS I'm also with those who think this summer has been poor, I just haven't been vocal about it.

km79 · 19-08-2019 5:32pm

Jesus that breeze would cut ya
Had to put on a body warmer over the hoody while cutting the lawn
Sad times

Stop moaning ffs · 19-08-2019 5:57pm

First evening were getting that lovely golden autumn light here. It’s the best.

Donegal Storm · 19-08-2019 8:54pm

Awful day in Donegal again, constant heavy showers all day. Autumn well and truly underway

Mobhi1 · 19-08-2019 8:55pm

There were a few showers today but a lot of sunshine in between. Not all that warm but not too cool either. There was 0.4mm rain recorded. The day's high was 18.1C.

Gonzo · 19-08-2019 8:57pm

we had some really heavy showers today, but there were some really nice sunny breaks in between where it felt warm between the showers. Feeling fairly chill this evening.

Clonmel1000 · 19-08-2019 9:58pm

Found it cold tonight.

Stephen15 · 19-08-2019 11:08pm

Had that autumnal feel to the evening while out on my walk tonight. Might go back to long trousers and lose the shorts for another year tommorrow.

Mobhi1 · 20-08-2019 8:33am

Clear sky and sunny here in Glasnevin but it's cool @10.7C. The low was 9.4C.

Graces7 · 20-08-2019 8:34am

A Noah day out here... at least we have a boat at need... :eek:

Non stop deluges; it started while I was walking so got soaked to the skin, literally . Wettest rain in the world, Irish rain..

Clonmel1000 · 20-08-2019 9:45am

12 degrees and raining. There’s not much to say about how utterly average and at times rubbish this summer has been here.

Xenji · 20-08-2019 9:49am

A very wet morning in Castlebar, close to 10mm of rain in the last 3 hours and 96% humidity.

JCX BXC · 20-08-2019 10:08am

Insanely heavy downpours in West Clare.

20-08-2019 10:22am

Cloudless blue skies and sunshine on way to work in Dublin this morning, glorious walk over the Sean O Casey bridge to far side of Liffey. BUT I think this rain you're all talking about will be on the East coast on the way home !

Kutebride · 20-08-2019 10:59am

Morning run in sunshine earlier in Dublin 4.
Still bright in the East.

Rock Lesnar · 20-08-2019 11:11am

Bright blue sky and sunshine in meath has gave way to complete cloud, rain not far away i'd say

Comhrá · 20-08-2019 11:37am

Torrential rain in Limk since around 10am.

10.6mm since around 9.30am, rainfall rate @ 11.08am was 30.6mm

Gonzo · 20-08-2019 12:23pm

steady rain now here at Dunshaughlin. Thankfully it's looking dryer and warmer from Friday.

Mobhi1 · 20-08-2019 12:49pm

It's all cloudy now in Glasnevin after the glorious clear sky earlier. No rain here yet but I think it's just about arrived - I can drops on some surfaces. It's still quite cool. It's currently 15.9C after a high an hour ago of 16.7C.

pad199207 · 20-08-2019 12:59pm

Wet here now in kildare since the rain started. Could turn miserable looking at the radar.

Xenji · 20-08-2019 1:02pm

Rain has finally cleared for the moment in Castlebar, we had nearly 20mm since early this morning.

Mobhi1 · 20-08-2019 2:45pm

There's been 1.0mm rain recorded now, some of it heavy. And the temperature's down to 15.3C.

pad199207 · 20-08-2019 2:54pm

Heavy falls of rain in Kildare now

Rock Lesnar · 20-08-2019 2:59pm

2mm of Rain so far here in meath, seems to be clearing from the west now

Gonzo · 20-08-2019 2:59pm

one of the coldest days we've had since the June cold spell. Rain mostly light, but some heavy bursts from time to time.

A big improvement in the weather from Thursday and spells of sunshine and temperatures reaching 20C or slightly above. Will be a nice change after the past few unsettled days.

ah lucky you!

Still on and off deluges here; west mayo offshore

Stop moaning ffs · 20-08-2019 3:32pm

Dirty old day in Dublin central. Rain and cold.

Who said we were getting 25c heat and clear skies this week?
They were lying

Ah would you ever stop moaning ffs!!!! :P

Rain and cold today, Tuesday, does not mean that 25c could be reached later in the week.....not saying it will but it could well be pushing into the mid 20's by Friday. I don't recall reading anything about clear skies though. Can you post up your source about clear skies being forecasted?

Mobhi1 · 20-08-2019 3:47pm

There was some hazy sunshine here just now. 1.2mm rain recorded to now. It's 15.6C.

it should be decent in Dublin and surrounding areas from Thursday, with temperatures around the 19 to 24C range, warmest on Friday and staying in the low 20's till about next Tuesday, after that it is uncertain what will happen. Should be a fairly pleasant, dry and warm weekend in Dublin, high probability of it turning cooler and unsettled again later next week, so best to make the most of this warm spell before Autumn rolls in.

highdef · 20-08-2019 4:22pm

Looks like the likes of Sallins and possibly Naas is getting a right hammering of rain at the moment and due to the orientation of the very heavy rain, it may lead to flooding.

The N7 from Naas to around Rathcoole look like areas you wouldn't be having a pleasant drive at the moment.

pad199207 · 20-08-2019 4:42pm

Biblical rain in naas. Flooding everywhere

Nice sunny morning in Donegal but back to normal since mid afternoon with heavy rain
