Looking at the radar I think they got the warnings wrong certainly coming down in the North

uck51js9zml2yt · 02-11-2019 12:41am

Nothing of note on the SW.

At least you have radar

Ya. Why would we need a radar for half the country in the most weather obsessed country in the world. Even my rain gauge is working better than the Shannon radar. And it only cost 60 quid.

At least Met Eireann got all the weather wrong so we need not worry about loss of radar signal.

16mm in Sligo now but less intense rain now so we may not reach 30mm. Gardens flooded though since most of that 16mm has fallen in 4 hours

Storm 10 · 02-11-2019 1:57am

17.69 mm of rain recorded at my station in Galway up to midnight and we were taken off the Yellow warning, going by no postings from the South I guess that Amber wind warning did not happen, no sparks showing up anywhere

Wild awakening out here; deluges borne on strong gusts. Been a long while since I could take an early walk. west mayo offshore

Gaoth Laidir · 02-11-2019 9:22am

The highest gust in the UK so far has been 133 km/h (71 knots) at Plymouth (50 m amsl) between 0700-0800 am.

Bizarre looking rotation on that front!

Never seen any move with such a straight edge in that direction on radar before

pauldry · 02-11-2019 11:00am

22mm of rain in Sligo since start of rain yesterday

Rain losing intensity now so just November drizzle for the day

Harry Palmr · 02-11-2019 11:01am

It's wet alright - tipping down with gusto but the wind has failed to materialise

SleetAndSnow · 02-11-2019 12:00pm

Not raining atm in cork city but some strong gusts of wind. Leaves blowing everywhere! Could be some slippy roads if driving.

Storm 10 · 02-11-2019 12:04pm

27.64 mm rain in Galway since yesterday at my station

highdef · 02-11-2019 12:07pm

Anyone living in Birr? Of all the decent sized towns that have been stuck under the heaviest of the quasi stationary band of heavy rain, Birr looks to be within the heaviest sustained rain the longest, going by met Eireann radar.

16.5mm at Gurteen today so far according to UKMO WOW which is close enough to Birr with 12.5mm yesterday.

Seems the wind storm headed to SW England.
Should have been an Amber warning for them by the sounds of things. Only a Yellow was issued.

Graces7 · 02-11-2019 1:34pm

Very heavy rain still; a small lake by the gate which I have never seen this bad before and the cat will to swim if he wants in the house...and no respite

Over 25mm of rain in Castlebar since midnight, nearly 40mm in the last 36 hours.

Gaoth Laidir · 02-11-2019 4:25pm

That 133 kph/71 kts gust at Plymouth this morning was the highest synop reported. There was also 131 kph at Culdrose at the same time.

Here's the analysis

JanuarySnowstor · 02-11-2019 6:50pm

The UK seem much slower to name storms than Met Eireann. As it's making top headlines on sky you would think they should have named it.
In all fairness it was well predicted by the models that southwest UK would get hit hard

Danno · 02-11-2019 7:15pm

Around 10mm here in South Laois since 9am.

ninebeanrows · 02-11-2019 7:20pm

Very strange MetO didnt name it considering part of country it was impacting also.

They seem very hesitant to name- probably money at play with lots of bonfire events on etc.

lucernarian · 02-11-2019 8:33pm

Seriously heavy rain in Louth right now, UKMO radar showing some white and lots of pink in it... It's sorta got the look of a one-sided convergence zone to it.
