    Is Clare purposely left out of that? Or did they just forget the county in which they have their primary rainfall radar again?

    Well he said "warmer" than average :rolleyes:.

    It's not the drier sunnier weather that caused it though.

    Getting out of bed this morning was a hard task.

    I don't find today too bad, its been weeks or longer since we have gotten a washout day like today, although looking at the outlook I may not be so happy this time next week. At least the showers may be thundery, if it's gonna rain make it interesting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,615 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    April 2012 was horrible enough, I don't want this April to turn out like that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,247 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Feels like we dodged a bullet today in east Galway ! Was expecting an absolute washout . Less than 10 mm since it started and 2.6 mm in one hour was the worst of it
    Thank god for small mercies
    Now to hope for the same tomorrow

    Dry down here in Clonakilty, was expecting rain but seems to be staying more easterly than the models were suggesting, thankfully.


  • Registered Users Posts: 366 ✭✭kittyn


    Rain doesn't look like it's going anywhere fast ....... Looks like waterproofs for the match later on :\


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,047 ✭✭✭Clonmel1000


    8 degrees heavy persistent rain here thoroughly miserable. I'll say it again very little difference between our seasons.

    Yep and through the week ahead as the looks of things, Tuesday is the only good day. It's officially April 2012 all over again here.

    Probably, but we excel in horribly negative attitudes at least.

    The Faroe Islands. They're very rarely sunny and 10x more rare than our lack of heatwaves or droughts etc. Check out how dull they are.
