    Memories of standing at the door in storms, yelling GO PEE! PLEASE GO PEE! at the dog.. I miss her so much; she was a scent hound and all the aromas were so interesting!

    lots of water logging in our garden and driveway after last night's downpours. Tomorrow looks a very wet day indeed with more heavy rain and a risk of spot flooding once again, especially in the southern half of the country.

    Looking at it here in East Wicklow,currently looks like rain from 11am to about 4 or 5pm which wouldn't be too bad

    Really lovely day out here in the wide Atlantic.. sunny at times, a small breeze and the most glorious sky scapes...One of the things I love most here; the clouds.. shapes, colours, just glorious ... tide low and sands exposed...

    Following on from my previous post where cork airport was at 46mm for the month of September, it’s now at 71 so there was about 25mm of rain or so possibly more locally. More to come with another yellow warning now

    After being at 64mm for September Sligo town now at 103mm after 39mm yesterday and severe flooding in Leecarrow and Doorley Park areas

    Astoundingly enough the rainfall for other stations nearby

    Sligo town 39mm
    Markree 5mm
    Finner 5mm
    Claremorris 4mm
    Belmullet 1mm

    Must have been a very localised thunderstorm but I was asleep and missed the event. Did anyone else in Sligo witness it? There are photos on facebook on Sligo County Council page of some of the flooding

    Lovely day in Donegal again with good sunny spells, looking at the radar we've been fortunate though to narrowly miss a washout of a day.

    Has been a good second half of September here, plenty of rain but almost all of it has fallen overnight with most days having some sunshine

    lovely afternoon too, the Dunshaughlin Harvest festival did well considering the forecasts leading up to this weekend, and managed to avoid most of the daytime rain.

    Lovely bright day in Kerry after all the rain yesterday, recorded about 25mm here yesterday and another 2mm overnight.

    Torc waterfall in Killarney had a great flow coming off it today, haven't heard it that loud in a long time and there was a bit of spray coming off it.

    Considering meath wasnt included in the warnings yesterday for the rain, we done pretty well with close to 30mm last night

    it's going to be some time before I can cut the lawn again (cut it last Saturday before this very unsettled period began). Today our lawn is like a swamp, and there is another 15 to 30mm forecasted for tomorrow, followed by showers and more rain all through the week and into next weekend.

    Dunsany has recorded almost 95mm of rain this month, most of that has fallen since last Saturday. If another 16mm falls between now and tomorrow before midnight, September will be the 2nd wettest month of the year overtaking March. Unlikely to beat August's rainfall total this month.
