    I'm surprised Met Eireann aren't saying much about rainfall....40mm is high by any standard but with fields waterlogged it equals significant flooding for me.
    I'd say the dam in Cork will be at breaking point by tomorrow night

    Strong enough in East Galway, damn gate is rattling away. Had to hold onto one of the kids earlier when we got caught by a gust going to the car, thought she was going to be blown over.

    There's a yellow warning for rainfall?

    Because the consensus of MÉ's go-to models didn't forecast gusts in excess of 110km/h, mean winds in excess of 65km/h or rainfall of more than 50mm in 24hrs; like it did in advance of Deirdre.

    Looking at the maps are we in for worse wind gusts later as the gusts are bad in Cork at the moment?

    Yeah would think so, in the early hours . Very strong S'ly veering SW later. Gusting up around 100 km/h on the coasts, maybe a bit more, about 80 km/h or so inland.

    There is a whole swathe of country covering large parts of Cork, Limerick and Tipperary which have no official weather stations to record actual wind speeds etc. Therefore if it doesnt officially happen - there is no storm ;)

    If you look at the radar loop the worst of the rain stayed west of a line near Galway city.

    Picked up a fair bit here in South Wicklow. Rain coming down hard and strong enough gusts blowing through. Is this expected to last all night? My road was flooded on Saturday and I'd say it would take little enough to bring the levels back up tomorrow. Thankfully the house is well elevated but that won't help me get to work tomorrow!

    It sounds a bit wild out there now. I live in a hollow, so it must be worse up on higher ground. In south Carlow.

    You can see the hydrometric information here for the two Lee dams:

    https://www.esb.ie/our-businesses/generation-energy-trading-new/hydrometric-information/river-lee

    It looks like they're keeping the flow high to keep the levels down.

    The pattern would be maximum safe outflow when the tide is low and manage it for high tide.
