Wind up in North Kerry. Rain stopped. Saw some sunshine.
Time to go to the beach

blobbyblob · 15-02-2020 3:33pm

Dublin airport closed? Looks like every plane in the sky is circling or diverting?

(Edit: they're all lined up for landing now)

RobertKK · 15-02-2020 3:33pm

The squall line hit here in Kilkenny, a sudden downpour with rain to 71.2mm/h at 2.14pm
The highest gust of wind was 80.5km/h at 10:43am.
5.8mm of rain so far
9.1C

PukkaStukka · 15-02-2020 3:33pm

Squall just pushed through North Co Dublin. Intense but thankfully brief

irishrover99 · 15-02-2020 3:38pm

View from the Guinness Storehouse.
Absolute brutal day out there.

Meteorite58 · 15-02-2020 3:38pm

ECM showing strongest winds mainly to Atlantic coastal counties and at that mostly to coastal areas. Some strong winds crossing inland for a time in the afternoon but lighter inland from early evening.

ARPEGE similar to ECM but bringing stronger winds inland and not clearing the E coast till later in the evening, should be eased off W coasts by late evening bit slower to ease off the SW coasts.

They just changed back to using the main runway, so there was some repositioning going on.

Aye, tis a soft day begorrah

Logan Roy · 15-02-2020 3:47pm

Worst day in ages in Cork, relentless rain and grey, miserable.

pad199207 · 15-02-2020 3:55pm

6mm before the front came through in Kildare, now there’s 23mm

km79 · 15-02-2020 3:56pm

The sun is out in south mayo now!

Meteorite58 · 15-02-2020 3:58pm

More heavy rain incoming from the cold front along the S coasts. Will it just graze off the coasts or come ashore over S counties dumping a fair shot of rain , will see.

Perhaps could see an orange rainfall warning for Cork, Kerry , Waterford , the West: standing water on ground here now, small floods about. Looks like there is going to be lots of runoff from mountains.

monty_python · 15-02-2020 4:06pm

It has cleared up here in South west beara peninsula, after a morning of heavy Misty rain, wind isn't to bad either.
Tomorrow will bring the worst of the wind right??

Thank christ for that. I was getting anxiety watching the planes battle their way above the house here.

pad199207 · 15-02-2020 4:10pm

Don’t need anymore rain here now in Kildare. Back garden badly flooded and street outside is covered in water. Can’t get to the cars without a pair of wellies.

Stream beside the house is up to the banks

m17 · 15-02-2020 4:13pm

Salthill this morning

Graces7 · 15-02-2020 4:16pm

Eased a while out here, and even some sun, but building again now

eigrod · 15-02-2020 4:28pm

Squall line has reached Greystones. Deluge.

Rock Lesnar · 15-02-2020 4:29pm

Wind and rain has stopped, blue sky over head now, Meath

Jim_Hodge · 15-02-2020 4:36pm

The rain and wind are easing off now in Co. Monaghan. It has been a while since we had such a miserable spell of weather but we've also had much worse.

Was glad to see Dennis' rear end overhead a while ago.Not something I would be saying before storms were named! Lots of flooding in South Tipp,ESB gone near Clonmel.

chris2007 · 15-02-2020 5:28pm

Wheres the wind gone its dead calm in Dublin 5

Snow Garden · 15-02-2020 5:40pm

Very nice in Galway for the past hour. Rain and wind gone and there is plenty of blue skies.
I didn't think I would get outside much today but its nice to get the break.

Meteorite58 · 15-02-2020 6:00pm

ARPEGE 12Z for tomorrow not showing the same strong winds penetrating inland as the 06Z

Strongest winds very much in coastal areas.

Donegal Storm · 15-02-2020 6:04pm

Rain cleared a couple hours ago in Letterkenny, sunny spells and showers ever since. Wouldn't have even passed comment on today but for the usual media hype and nonsense

Snow Garden · 15-02-2020 6:10pm

Rain is back in west Galway. Lot of flooding around. Not very windy though.

pad199207 · 15-02-2020 6:17pm

Further rain here now in Kildare 30.4mm

uck51js9zml2yt · 15-02-2020 6:55pm

Spent an hour on Banna Beach . No sign of Dennis.

happyoutscan · 15-02-2020 6:56pm

Peaceful here the last while in west Mayo.

kenmc · 15-02-2020 8:01pm

Went to Leinster match in RDS. North and South stands were closed, everyone allowed under cover. Brutal rain at times, and very windy brie the game but settled a bit. Players were sliding 6, 8 metres easy, and every footstep produced a splash. Glad we were under cover though, I've been in the North stand for many a game with less rain than today and it was miserable.

15-02-2020 8:55pm

Today's Dennis seems over now, but its coming back toight and tomorrow???
Is it the same depression or a new one?

Same.

Dennis is not coming back, it is coming (closer). Today was just fronts associated with Dennis.

Did you get bussed to Dublin then?

Itssoeasy · 15-02-2020 9:38pm

Rotten night in cork city. It's a night for fire and a pint as it was last weekend but the problem is I'll be like a drowned rat by the time I'd get to the pub.

ALS · 15-02-2020 9:39pm

Yep , bus up to Dublin , back about 7pm ... long day !! But can’t complain ..

Very strong gusts and heavy rain started again here in Castlegregory about 30 mins ago. The eveni g was beautiful, with a lovely sunset.

spookwoman · 15-02-2020 10:00pm

Ground is like a swamp here in Waterford. Was out feeding the critters and can see puddles in the grass, puddle on the road outside hasn't drained today.

I live in South Tipp, very calm all afternoon and evening?

There was a little bit of lying rain around alright but I haven't heard of any electricity outage?

ninebeanrows · 15-02-2020 10:14pm

Dennis is a man of two rounds.

15-02-2020 10:16pm

With these major storms mid Atlantic sweeping into our shore, would there be old things dislodged and washing ashore in the West? Or is it really only a surface thing.

Fishing too, might there be some strange creatures reachable from the shore?

redsteveireland · 15-02-2020 10:30pm

Wind has just returned in Galway, welcome back Dinny.

Ambergris, I could retire if I found a big lump of that.
