Front has passed through. Not as good as I expected. Just a heavyish shower really. Don't think I'll bother putting the video up as its not really good at all. PLanes have just begun taking off and landing again.

Snowbie

Short but lively.

Max RR was 21.8m/hr
Temp down to 9.4c and still falling
Wind SW.

Supercell

Overhead here now, max rain rate so far 11mm/hr, barely registers as a heavy shower tbh

Wertz

Damn it that rain an hour ago woke me....and I mean nothing wakes me, especially after beers the night before. Thought the roof was gonna come in. Only lasted 20 min though....clearing up nicely now...

Gaspode

That rain an hour ago just soaked me to the skin! Tried to get the grass cut before it came but it beat me to it.

Sierra Oscar

Very heavy rain here at the moment, its coming and going in cloud bursts. Wind seems to be picking up.

Had a crazy hail shower in the 9am hour.Biggest hail iv seen in a while in Limerick.
overall, sunny with intermittent cloud bursts

Supercell

Currently 6.6°C with fair breezy weather, my favourite type (after snow).
I see the showers are making their way accross the country now, should be some here in the next couple of hours.
The Vantage has the snow symbol on it, wouldnt be surprised to see wintry precip and temperature plunges in showers. Exciting day!

Supercell

Some crazy swings in dew points, not quite sure what to make of it.
About 10 mins ago it was 0.1° , now its -1.9°C, been swinging madly like that last few hours.
I'm guessing that the air mass above is mixed and chaotic.

arctictree

Yes, DP here is -3.4c! Current temp is +5.4c. It will be interesting to see what the temps/DPs will be like overnight and tomorrow. Chance of some transient snow/sleet events??

Do you have a dewpoint reading Paddy? and what was yur lowest reading if any.

looking at the radar and from the midlands to east there is no precip as the air has dryed out somewhat.I can see them showers on the west alright that look intense.

Dewpoint is 2.2c snowbie, not changing much as rh rises, now 81%, temp still slowly falling, now at 5.2c, Altro stratus now very evident.
