Risk of strong winds and heavy rain - Sunday the 23rd to Tuesday the 25th of October

MiNdGaM3 · 23-10-2011 2:23pm

I'd say the rain definitely qualifies as heavy in Cork now, with occasional moderate falls! Will go get my waterproofs together soon:D

Aren't we lucky the UK Met office show an interest in our weather over here!!
Met Eireann as per usual playing catch up

I don't think Met Eireann's rainfall radar is as good as it used to be, before they 'upgraded' it.

leahyl · 23-10-2011 2:33pm

Jesus SERIOUS rain in Cork City now lads!

Iancar29 · 23-10-2011 2:33pm

Crazy rain now on radar for West Cork/ Kerry... ( cant see to judge! ) ha

Anyone know what the level of the rivers are like?

"Heavy" ? That rain over Munster looks to be in the "Biblical" category now.

Wind stronger than forecast

Path out to the fields by the Shannon in Athlone is now completely submerged... will try get out in a bit to take some photos.

Scorpdoc · 23-10-2011 3:24pm

Who needs the Shannon River for the Garryhinch resevoir, it is pelting out here.

MiNdGaM3 · 23-10-2011 3:44pm

The water river is quite high at the moment, but still around a few feet from flooding.

The Occupy Cork protesters must be feeling a little nervous though

DOCARCH · 23-10-2011 3:45pm

Occupy Cork protesters? :pac:

Lashing down here.

Sponge Bob · 23-10-2011 3:48pm

I'd say it would be a few hours yet before the rivers start to take on the rain water from the area... so ye, those tents will become flotents! ha

ninebeanrows · 23-10-2011 3:58pm

Not too much rain here at all today so far..

Wind definitely picking up here now though.

Sierra Oscar · 23-10-2011 4:27pm

Just drove into Limerick, some of the roads are well and truly flooded now! With the leaves coming off the trees expect to see localised flooding in many areas.

After getting quite stormy over the past hour or so here and oh yea lots of rain also... It's great when we get some proper weather:D

howlinwolf · 23-10-2011 5:05pm

raining steady enough ehre in carlow for the last few hours nothin too bad really looks like we will miss some of the heavier bursts as it looks like a clearence on the way.

vonbarracuda · 23-10-2011 5:15pm

Rain is getting bad here in Dublin North :eek:

Harps · 23-10-2011 5:16pm

Rain getting heavier here but a pretty standard day really, hasn't stopped for most of October so without the weather warning I wouldn't have taken any note.

There's been flooding and burst river banks plenty of times already this month so just another day unfortunately

howlinwolf · 23-10-2011 5:23pm

same here in carlow,wouldnt have known there were weather warnings out just by the weather here,dont know about the rest of the country ... a few people have said the rain was biblical where they were so its seems a bit hit and miss.

Min · 23-10-2011 5:24pm

My weather station is being sheltered by wind breakers (trees planted to protect the farm buildings from strong winds), of all the directions the strong winds have to come from, was over from it and the wind was powerful, despite the wind breakers, the highest gust so far is 61.2km/h.

Now at 16mm of rain.
