May shocker: strong winds, squally showers, even the potential for wintry showers

Car99 · 03-05-2021 10:36am

Wet but no wind or heavy rain to speak of near Tipperary town. Has the worst of the weather passed through by now?

Storm 10 · 03-05-2021 10:45am

The rain was badly needed for growth, the wind not so much!

First peak has passed down in Cork, gusts have abated to about 20 - 40 kmh. Round 2 this evening.

Wet and windy since about 7am here outside Newport. Sun is shining now and wind died down but the ground is saturated so no outside for the kids.

Squall line seems to be now running from Kerry, up through Limerick, North Tipp and up through the Midlands as it moves east. Just passing through my part of North Tipp now.

Estimate that all rain should have cleared here by 1.00 pm.

Cluedo Monopoly · 03-05-2021 12:07pm

Sun coming out in Galway. Still breezy. I think we might have a nice evening.

Storm 10 · 03-05-2021 12:10pm

Fair play to MT he called out the squall line in his forecast

Torrential rain here in Kildare pushing through. 106mm/hr

lolie · 03-05-2021 1:30pm

Just a wet breezy morning here, got a bit squally for a short while as the front passed through.
No idea what rain fell as i just noticed the the gauge was blocked by birds using it as a toilet, didn't cop until now as no rain fell at all last week.
11c out now with only a light breeze, south cavan.

My lightweight greenhouse flipped! Luckily it's empty.

Wine Goddess · 03-05-2021 1:35pm

Heavy rain here in Firhouse D24 and winds have been really gusty all morning, I can't imagine what it'll be like if they get worse later, as forecast......

Trampoline is battened down by its hatches.... LOL

Pa ElGrande · 03-05-2021 1:36pm

Squall Line just passing here in Dublin City Center.

Larbre34 · 03-05-2021 1:38pm

The squall passed through Dublin 15 over about 10 to 15 minutes and very nice it was too.

03-05-2021 1:40pm

15mm so far in Arklow
Max gust 74kmh
Squal line has not passed through yet

Donegal Storm · 03-05-2021 1:40pm

Nothing of any note in Donegal, some rain overnight but just breezy with some sun and a few showers so far today. Not much different to any other day we've had this past week really

Artane2002 · 03-05-2021 1:43pm

There was some very intense rain in Dublin 5 a few minutes ago, made a waterfall run down the window

Squeaksoutloud · 03-05-2021 2:01pm

Drove through that squall line on the M7 southbound near New bridge. Never saw anything like it..lucky there wasn't much traffic as everyone pretty much had to stop or crawl along at 10kph. Fog lights and hazards on..only lasted 40 seconds then through again.
