    Flood warnings issued by met.ie and uk met office for n and nw. Many roads already flooded round Donegal town. My garden is a lake and I have a new waterfall out the back. Monitoring levels closely. No end in site according to radar.

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    The ground is damp(ish) :eek:!

    It's gonna bit a Big One - I can tell :D

    There is nothing I like more than spits and spots of rain and 14c and a bit of a breeze on a night at the very end of November.

    You can keep your snow, this utter nothingness is what I live for! :pac::pac::pac:

    (I need a drink)

    We had close to torrential rain here for about 20 minutes around 8pm, back to a more moderate rate again now but it doesn't look like there's any and in sight yet on the radar so there'll definitely be spot flooding about

    wind picking up fast in cork.howling down the chimney.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭superstoner90

    O dear....it seems to have passed over leaving no trace. There is a bit of a large gap till the next wave according to http://www.raintoday.co.uk/.

    :(

    Gettin' windier though; average speed 10kph, gusting to 30 kph.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly


    Latest NAE (18z) has the frontal zone wavering over the west & northwest until early morning:182990.png

    Progression eastwards seems to be somewhat slower than on earlier runs, most likely due to small waves that are pulsing up along the front itself.

    Hardly a puff of wind here in Galway so trough must be closing in.

    10pm Reports:
    Valentia: 5.6mm
    Mace Head: 3.9mm
    Finner Camp: 3.8mm (bringing 2hr total to 11.1mm)

    I wondered when a thread might appear..looks like heavy rain in Mayo and Galway ..These fronts will no doubt fizzle before they get to the East?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,312 ✭✭✭naughto

    The last one fizzled to nothingness but I think the main event over here will be several hours from now.

    And I'm not just sayin' that 'cos Easterly said it :rolleyes:

    Even heavier over Sligo & Donegal but unfortunately these counties are not well represented by the Shannon & Dublin radars.

    Fronts should slowly move eastwards overnight and into tomorrow with always chance of some heavier bursts.

    EDIT: Latest radar from the UK Met Office: (10.30pm)
    182997.png

    Front now seems to be stalling over west Galway, up through Mayo and Sligo and into Donegal. Possible small wave developing west or SW of Clare.

    I see there's a band of red extending up through Coleraine! That just has to be producing snow on the hills up behind the house! :D

    Raining here in Galway city since around 3pm.Its been really bucketing down though in the last few hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,978 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Not much rain down here by comparison but the wind is certainly getting up and threatening to kick some doors in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭eskimocat


    Wind seems to have died down a bit here in sleepy hollow :eek: << yawn, still raining though. Was howling a while ago, didn't bother getting up to look out though, too snug :D Batten down the hatches all, may the wind be always at your back... etc etc oh and snow, lots and lots of snow... :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Where did you get that radar DE? Is it publicly available?

    Nothing too dramatic here now, really heavy as that red band moved over but its been light to moderate ever since


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,150 ✭✭✭Deep Easterly


    Latest reports: (11pm)

    Mace Head: 10.3mm
    Claremorris: 9.1mm
    Knock Apt: 2.5mm
    Meanwhile, Belmullet reporting 'trace' !!

    Harps, Hi res UK met radar here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/beta/weather/observations/

    Great stuff, never knew about that. Far better than the ME radar for Donegal and the colours are much easier to read than raintoday


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,017 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    A big difference between Knock and Claremorris even though there only a few miles apart.Should be some interesting totals by tomorrow morning.
