My uncle has a raing guage on his out farm, emptied it on Saturday morning. He didn't return to the farm till Monday midday. It holds 125mm, and it was overflowing.

Standard rain guage holds about 8 inches when measured through the standard glass cylinder measuring tube so I'd say that guage needs a clean
Theres a little tiny hole that sometimes can get a twig in it or some sticky from leaves or grass
Max rainfall down south at a push would have been 110 or 120 mm up to Tuesday morning including Saturday
Whilst 120mm is an awful lot,To have your guage overflowing in 24hrs,youd need to be in Bangladesh

Not a standard rain guage. He got it in America about 25 years ago and measures just 5 inches of rain.
And several guys of with rain guagrs reported in excess of 125mm for these few days. How can you state that it couldn't have exceeded "110 or 120"...... when you weren't here.

Radar images showed the heaviest and most persistent of the rain (and models) along the south coast
Cork airport,pretty much in the centre of all of it on a hill recorded 92.8 mm in 4 days
The macroom GAA pitch often floods
There was a match played there tuesday night,its beside a river ,the flood receded quickly
I'm sorry I missed the bit where you said that gauge only held 125mm when I posted
In west cork you could well have got an inch in total more than at the airport(over the 3 days) but you'd also have run off from a lot of high ground around you making things worse
Rain gauges do need their pinhole cleaned regularly as rain especially with wind comes with a lot of debris that can block it
It was an awful lot of rain in 3 days alright is what I'm thinking,just not agreeing the totals were higher than 120mm
We'll see when the official rain recorders at various sites in cork report to met Eireann at the end of the month
Doesn't matter anyway, it doesn't change the impact on farm,which would be awful messy
This week will turn it around hopefully

Beautiful full moon shining tonight as I head home.

It was 18 c here yesterday.
I reckon it's the same already and might go higher.

Getting the silage season off to a start in a few hours.

Great weather!

Just started here now, very light though. We could use 10-12mm soon:(

Mortelaro

4mm from it here so far,this main batch is pushing over from Wales and heading nnw so will probably miss cork and Kerry
Its reached Sth Dublin now so will be into louth this evening
We've had it light since 9 but wexford and Waterford had it a lot earlier and heavier
Much steadier rain now so likely to get above 10mm

Bright sunshine here, heavy ground flying, dry ground just tipping along.

Very wet yesterday. Just managed to get 7 acres sown this morning before the latest band of rain hit us. Very wet again. Rain will have to roll the seed in itself

I had to get a new display dash last week for mine, thankfully under warranty.
Expensive piece of kit

Not to alarm people or maybe I should. But the weather geeks on the weather forum are posting that this storm this evening could be in the "RED" category for the west and southwest of Ireland.

So if ye have plans for this afternoon and evening and night....?????
Ye might end up in Kansas.

As SMN said above, status RED wind warning for Clare this evening.
