We had a very wet day here yesterday.
The pc was off as was WD for all of the day as I was well away from the pc and then I went to sprinsteen.
I noticed that it was lashing rain here (as it had been all day) and for a good bit up the N11 but when we reached south Dublin it was practically dry.
The total for the month has gone up to 31mm here as a result of yesterdays rain.

Total rain recorded here yesterday was 10.9mm

Supercell

Only 4.0mm rain here yesterday, max temp was 11.8 and min 10.3°C, all in all a rather cool dull damp day.

0.6mm of rain overnight.

Some moderate rain showers early this morning-1mm total

Terrible forecast from the Eagle on RTE last night.
It was far from dry overnight here in the East and of course the MET changed their forecast completely this morning regarding today sunday monday and tuesday aswell.

Desperate bad to be honest.What use is forecasting if you keep changing it?

mike65

Weather its dynamic!

Its a fine late spring morning here - warm, sunny, some wind which is drying the kitchen floor.

Sure is dynamic Clouded over wind getting up and rain on the way.

edit more dynamism - cleared up.

Nice evening here but very windy.

nice sunny day today but that wind/breeze was bitterly cold:(

Sunny and windy but with the advancing frontal cloud now covering most of the sky to the south and south east.
12c

mike65

Windy, sunny and mild but mainly windy.

Mike.

Danno

Hazy sky, damn stiff breeze around 10-15mph with gusting up to 25mph. Good sunshine despite the haze, high cloud. Temperatures around 14c.

Snowbie

Persistent rain not a million miles from the SE coastline.
Not moving too quick though but might reach sometime mid afternoon?

uuuuugh!
I don't like the look of that last one,it would put the precip now about 40 miles offshore from here.
It's very windy here-small tree swaying stuff from the NE-my aws is very sheltered from that direction-it's getting gusts of 30mph-I'd say nearer to 40mph gusts at times from that direction at ground level right now.

The milky sunshine continues here-you'd harly know what was off shore!

Decisions decisions!

I'd imagine you are right snowbie-that stuff looks like it will be here by mid afternoon.
We'll keep watching though if you could post up another few zooms in say an hour or so-thanks.

14.5c here currently with a drying RH of 71%

Still sunny here but I can see the bank line of the advancing front as I look ESE over Arklow bay.
The pivot seems to be slightly in my favour as regards delaying the rain looking at the UKMO in the sense that the rain line is more advanced into south wexford than it is into here.
Theres only an hour or two in the difference I'd say though

Snowbie

Still no signs of it closing quick and the heavier stuff is still way offshore.
A tough one to call BB when it will be onshore.

Deep Easterly

Warm but breezy. Currently 19.9c after touching on 20.4c earlier. Thickening cirrus.

1018.5 mb falling slowly.

Rain has set in here since 4pm

mike65

Yep its arrived earlier than I hoped.
