Living SE of Limerick city. Not seeing the very heavy rain in the Ballysimon and Caherconlish area. I can imagine judging by the rainfall radar at met.ie that the heavy rain would be in Cappamore and Doon.

I drove home tonight to Kerry from the All-Ireland Hurling in Croker and this was some of the worst rain I ever encountered in my life and was most certainly not typical Irish rain. The entire M8 down along was at a crawl with the worst of the rain down along from Kildare to Limerick it was unreal and there was cloud lightning around Cork city then tonight between 10.30pm and 11.00pm. Absolutely diabolical driving conditions with clouds of spray all over the place and aquaplaning.

On the plus side my car is like it was powerhosed clean and any dead insects collected on the way up are long since washed off!

Is this Hurricane related?

Very loud thunder now in Galway

Redsunset

Well all i can say is mental rain falling at the moment. Some doubted earlier the intensity of it but i had full faith because it was always gonna be a slow moving front.

ronnie3585

Yeah very loud thunder and extremely heavy rain here in Galway city. Had four flashes in the last twenty minutes followed by huge claps of thunder. It woke me up but I'll allow it.

Another flash there!!

Looks like strawberries and cream left out for a couple of days ...

... the colour pattern is based on infra-red temperature sensing in a night satellite image, so the yellow-white is cold (high cloud tops) and the darker stuff is warm (not much cloud in Spain so the sensor is getting mostly the 21 C surrface temperatures there). Not sure what the red batch is showing, perhaps it's an air mass being highlighted? Anyway Redsunset can tell you. That red area is basically the cooler maritime air mass that is moving into the frontal zone from the west. There are some showers in it so you can see a few whitish splotches.

The heaviest rain is now just moving on shore in Wexford and Waterford, so we'll have to see how it holds together as it moves further north. The UK radar has shown a slight decrease in intensity since midnight but not that much. There was more lightning with this batch than with the Galway stuff earlier so ??? perhaps more lightning in the southeast than we've seen yet in this system.

Deep Easterly

Woken up by downpour outside :eek: Davis has recorded 8.4mm so far and readinga 72/mmph rain rate

make that 10.6mm so far!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit, just noticed Claremorris recorded an hourly fall of 10.4mm up to 3am on the met site, I am not surprised.

Pissing down here all night. Hoping North County Dublin isn't too bad, motorway's flooded more than once before and with the work on the service stations I can't see it going much better and I need to get to a feckin exam.
