    Notable wind convergence in place so it could be along this line that the heaviest rain occurs.

    Wexford could see some serious rainfall from this.

    Exceptional rainfall likely tomorrow.
    Looks very heavy and persistent and will surely lead to local flooding

    2116 update from met eireann

    Thursday will be wet in Munster and Leinster. Rain will be heavy at times with risk of localised flooding. It will fall as sleet in places in the afternoon and evening. Connacht and Ulster will have small amounts of rain and the northwest will be mainly dry. Highest temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees and becoming very cold in the afternoon.

    Aye,the water table should just about have recovered by the end of this after the very very dry summer

    Admittedly, I was coming off the mountains as well, but the rain got noticeably easier as I headed from the mountains north up the N11 into town this morning. A few spots on the R755 were already covered in fairly big puddles - wouldn't go as far as calling them spot flooding (mainly the usual spots), but pretty early in the "event" all the same.

    Steady moderate rainfall here in Ardfert, 8.2mm so far. I See a lot of rain showing up on the radar around Killarney, will be interesting to hear reports later.

    Ditto near Arklow circa 200kms away
    If this stalls here as expected, quite large totals will mount up by dark

    I'm bored of this.

    Very dull in Kilkenny but not much of a downpour.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,134 ✭✭✭✭maquiladora


    Flooding a definite concern over the next few days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,944 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    16.5mm in Carlow town already


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,542 ✭✭✭Tactical


    What ever about rainfall in the South East, its been heavy rain nin-stop all morning in West Limerick and the roads have a heck of a lot of surface water on them and are completely crossed with very large puddles. Run off from the hills is adding to this.

    I've been watching driving habits and there is no change. People are simply barrelling along, coming around bends straight into water completely across the road. They are driving as if it wasn't there. Far too complacent. Pot holes generally get hidden by the water and road users unfamiliar with them may come unstuck!

    Nice dry Winters day in the NW. Currently 3c.

    18.6mm here north of Kilkenny city.

    Talk that there could be sleet later.

    Flooding a definite concern over the next few days.

    We get it now everytime it bloody rains, as the field is saturated, absolutely sick of it now

    Is there any dry weather forecast in the next 7-10 days that lasts longer then a day

    Would you care to elaborate?

    42.4mm now. A five year station record of 50mm from 6/7/2015 surely will be broken.

    So sick of the constant rain in Bray, seems to be neverending.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,834 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    Flooding a definite concern over the next few days.

    Apparently there's quite a bit in the west of Dublin at the moment.

    13.8mm and raining lightly now, clearer sky off the coast here in Kerry.

    Very heavy here in D8 now


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,013 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    only 3c at Gurteen, Co Tipp so the Galtees will be looking good when the weather clears up. Pix please.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,237 ✭✭✭Macy0161


    No stats, but pretty bad in the Belfield/ Donnybrook area. The Dodder is fairly raging, and Beaver Row has it's own river running down it beside the river.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,089 ✭✭✭pad199207


    Flooding on lots of roads coming out of town
