    It's the perfect rain for the end of a dry spell, though. Light on and off so that the ground can slowly absorb it. Great for the windscreen too! Not looking through squashed bugs anymore...

    pouring rain here at Dunshaughlin, almost an hour of continuous moderate to heavy rain at this stage and the gutters are overflowing. At a guess several mm of rain has fallen within the last hour with plenty more showers to follow this evening and into tonight.

    No rain here in Rathkenny, showers have missed us but seem to intensify heading your direction looking at the radar, the home place is 10km away and its lashing there

    How are we missing those showers all around us. Some colours of clouds all around us. Meath. I will surely jinx it as I step outside :)

    rain finally stopping here now, I'd be happy if that was going to be it for another month but sadly there is lots more rain on the way over the next 4 to 5 days at least. The rain we just had is more than enough to turn all the grass here back green and the gardens are happy.

    After an hour of rain I've had enough of it already! Seeing rain fall get's old very quickly in this country! We need to get that Azores high going again as soon as possible!

    It's an enduring love for me. I love it and hope it lasts. My mood is lifted this evening. I need to move to Mayo. Dublin doesn't get half enough.

    For me the rain is more bearable if it’s warm and humid. I cannot stand when it is cool, wet and breezy during the summer (which is usually what we get)

    I was experiencing the same thing up until a half an hour ago. I was in a dryspot, whereas 10 miles to the east and west of me there was continous showers/shower train for most of the day.

    Looks like there could be a fair splash of rain for the north east/east from the Irish Sea in the next couple of hours.

    Just had a heavy shower in cork city, first of the day. Been one or two very light showers that didn't last long

    Lovely calm June evening in north Donegal.

    Not a breeze, very mild. Great night for a cycle.

    yep looks like it's going to pivot around and affect much of Leinster tonight, could be several more mm of rain in many places before the night is over. Plenty more showers for tomorrow too.

    We got a decent rain shower this morning in D5 but nothing in the afternoon. Mad how localised the rainfall is. Seeing footage on the news of heavy rain in Dublin City centre, how did we miss that??

    That's the way when at the center of low pressure as we were today especially this time of year. Variable practically calm winds means almost static inland convective pulses developing and not going anywhere in a hurry. Can lead to flash flooding.

    Becoming more mobile now though as the center drifts south and rain comes on shore for the the first part of the night.

    Ireland one of the coldest places in Europe this evening, only the Alps and northern tip of Scandinavia is colder. Even Iceland is warmer than us today.

    I wrote it a strongly-worded letter and I'm awaiting a response. :pac:

    Meanwhile in this part of Laois, we've avoided showers today following a persistent spell of rain this morning that gave around 1mm to 1.5mm.

    I think we're going to be waiting a while.

    The GFS attempt at extending a warm and settled ridge over us next week is now in the bin with the Atlantic completely taking over.
