Continuous lashing rain here in Lucan since about 10AM. On and off lightning and thunder since about 12PM with one lightning followed within 2 seconds by a very load thunder

Despite good drainage, the garden looks more flooded than I've seen it before in the 8 years I'm living here. Not very scientific, I know

Think the heaver stuff is to the east of me now so you should be catching up slowly but surely being closer to the coast

Think your right about being close to the coast.

Getting heavy bursts of rain then its stopping and starting again, that cycle has been happening all day.

Would love my own weather station for days like today.

Weather BOFH

Slept in and looks like I missed all the fun! Total of 20.7mm and rain has now stopped.

DOCARCH

18.3mm here. Still raining heavily but couldn't be for too much longer looking at the radar. Wind dropped off very suddenly (basically at 3pm dropped from 23mph to 0.5mph).

Snowbie

Anyone the ability to check dewpoints on their stations should note a sudden drop in them as the clear polar maritime air crosses over your area in the clearance.

12.9C
Dp 12.1C
Wind West and light.
