    Horrible wet windy morning here - and looking at this mornings models it looks like a wet first half to June as the AH does its usual disappearing act at this time of year:(

    . Didn't it get dark very early last night in comparison to say 1 week ago when it was still bright at 22.30?


    Yes, noticed that too. Whatever moon was on this week, one night was eerily bright at 10.40, a mixture of dusk and moonlight behind cloud I guess... but last night was like an autumn night, no light getting through this cloud.

    Wow Min, that's interesting, I'm just below Clonmel, and there has been no dry spell since yesterday, when it doesn't bucket down, it spits a good old spit.

    The rain annoys me during the day, but boy was it brilliant last night... :pac:

    I am not surprised, you back up what the radar has been showing, just lucky here the rain wasn't 20 miles further east or 20 to 30 miles further south.

    We had no heavy rain as the heaviest was just 4.2mm/hour.

    ok time for that to change as that rain has to move back over us before it clears...

    Exactly, it's very hard to take! The present synoptics could easily have given us a 1982 type blizzard if it was mid winter (big IF of course)
    Only 10c at the moment and 35mm in the gauge with a few more mms to come.

    59.6mm in Clonmel since yesterday evening.

    The river has risen a lot but I wouldn't think flooding is a danger to it's previously low level.

    Damn it. When I said a good soaking I didn't want this much. I think my fertiliser has been washed away :eek:

    Hasn't stopped since mid afternoon yesterday and is bucketing down this morning (sorry I have no more scientific measure than that !!)

    Feels late Autumnal with the wind and rain. Didn't it get dark very early last night in comparison to say 1 week ago when it was still bright at 22.30?

    Awww...

    Got soaked at market but it was at night the real deluge started so at least safe indoors.

    16mm in total for north east Kilkenny, about 6 miles NE of the city.

    Which was enough as we got 13mm over two days late last week - 30th/31st May.

    23mm at Dublin A. and 37mm at Casement, 37mm in my gauge and I'm quite near the Airport. Odd? :confused:

    I got 26.0 mm here in Celbridge and Dun Laoghaire harbour received 30 mm, so with your 37 mm there was a wide variation within short distances, as we said there might be. The key time was from 1-7 am, when Casement received 31 mm versus 20 mm for Dublin Airport. The radar does show a probable orographically enhanced linear echo feature around southern Dublin, with intensity falling off sharply further north, so a mile or two would make a big difference. It will be interesting to see tomorrow how much fell at Dunsany and the Pheonix Park for this period.

    Radar for 2 am.

    My station recorded 75mm in the last 24 hours and hit that figure just as the rain stopped.Looking at readings coming in from other parts of the east coast,I thought this can't be right and then I found a basin that had been left out in the garden and sure enough it had exactly 3 inches of water in it.My location is just north of the Dublin mountains,which must have had some affect on the rainfall

    The difference a year makes alright. This day last year (3rd June) was the warmest day of 2011 in many areas with Oak Park recording 25.4c and between 20c - 24c at most other inland stations.

    Heating went back on this morning, was pretty cold, its January temperatures in June!
    Had hoped the heating would be off until October :(

    85.3mm at my station on the lower slope of the Wicklow Uplands in Ashford, I often get more rain than nearby stations very much to do with location

    Thanks Delw :) although it was called well beforehand by MT, met.ie and a good few others here on the forum. I just opened the thread to focus attention on it and for others to discuss any possible outcomes. I think synoptically, it was a very unusual set up. Normally we have cool ridge followed by warm front which in turn is followed by cold polars! In this case we had a warm humid sector being confronted by two differing polar air masses from two completely different directions (SW & N/NE).

    I think overall, most of the model outputs did a good job of getting the specifics right on this particular event as did calls from others mentioned above. :)
