    How much precip have you had today, or is your station out of action still?

    Went from Sligo to Galway today; last time I saw this much water on the ground was 2009.

    Garavogue is as high as it's been in years, flowing over the weir.

    The heavy rain is going to cause damage around Galway for sure, there were already concerns over water levels in South Galway before tonight's event.

    Closing on 10mm in the last 2 hours alone.

    Edit, Jan total so far has now exceeded 150mm. Funny thing about this month, and much of this winter so far is that most of the rain seems to fall around this time of night.

    Well that was one hell of a bumpy landing in Dublin just now. Haven't had one like that for a long time. Estimate around 40 knots at 1000 ft but windshear making the bumps.

    Met Eireann's Hirlam rainfall chart for 11pm. Don't think it could have been any more wrong.

    A wild night out without the huge gusts yet. My station recorded a Max of 57km/h so far and this is similar to another station a few km away from me. No rain here yet but i feel when it arrives winds will ramp up to the next level.

    Just noticing Eddy Graham's tweet in Meteorite's post.

    Wow! Didn't realise he was active in meteorology. His Dublin Weather Diary which ended when he emmigrated to Canada in the 90s was some read. A lot of top Irish Meteorologists in Canada.

    Wind picking up noticeably in north Dublin.

    Id say Casement might get a decent gust with that direction, maybe ~55kt

    Its mental out there in Salthill, I feel like the window is going to fall on top of me at times.

    Winds will be peaking in the west within next hour and will veer SW but will remain fairy strong.
