    That sheer ferocity has eased a little. Still very windy and still sheeting rain, but that sharp edge has eased; met ie say force 6-7 now whereas it was 8 earlier.

    Can hear myself think again.

    Feeling for anyone who has to be out and about in it .

    Recent chart of total precipitable water shows the moisture-rich ex-Helene as the yellow 50-mm areas just to our southwest. Joyce is the more circular area down near the Azores.

    23.3mm of rain for the day in Castlebar, nothing really out of the ordinary with more interesting weather possibly on the horizon.

    Total from Helene: 1mm.
    Total for Sept so far at Dublin Airport: 24mm.
    This is the fifth consecutive month of below average rainfall (May-Sept) and April was only a little above average so I am surprised that there aren't overnight water restrictions in my parts yet? There are obviously still high soil moisture deficits in eastern areas.
    If this happens and October is anticyclonic and dry?

    I've a feeling that the hosepipe ban will be extended,Helene brought very little rain to the East last night. Heavy mist being blown on the wind.

    So was Helene a bit of an anti-climax?
    OK so the rain was persistent last night up here in North Donegal, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    West Waterford didn't have an unusual rain/wind. It's was consitent rain and mild wind throughout the night, which is not rare.

    Yesterday was actually a grand day in Galway. There was heavyish rain for about an hour but otherwise it was warm and blustery with the odd shower. I love walking in that weather. Maybe there was a lot of rain last night but it didn't seem so in the morning. A typical Autumn day, nothing more.
