Mild dampish, windy as hell.

Haven't seen winds like this for a long time.

Don't think Supercell will be going for a cycle today as we might see him and his bike blowing across the sky. :D

Horrible hell on earth very windy & wet feeling cold despite the mild wet muck conditions, Please let this horrible weather end already. A return to cold, sunny & frosty condtions would do nicely or a snowstorm... but the weather right now I cant stand.

10.3; was 11.4 earlier and very windy and wet! Cold, clear, frosty weather of last week much nicer and didn't feel much colder really.

Supercell

Raining cats and dogs, no doubt under-recording because of the damn birds again too.
2.8mm recorded so far.
Pretty dark and very windy still, on the plus side the house is toasty warm again
What's up with the Carlow station on the weather network - 45mm rain!!, either there's a localised thunderstorm there or the cat peed in the rain gauge!!

Heh, fair enough, fair play going out in that weather to fix it, instant soakage if its anything like here atm.
Up to 4.6mm rain here now.

Where have you got your rain gauge located, in this driving wind it would appear hard for the gauge to catch much, maybe i need to find some way of securing it up a little from the ground?
