    Just checked the galway radar, image attached, no rain yet.

    Rain arrived in West Clare at least. Not sure with how long, but less than 15 minutes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,524 ✭✭✭SeaBreezes


    Raining on south coast (Kinsale) with about an hour now. Miserable, but not the torrential stuff expected yet.

    ECM 12Z rolling out and showing parts of the S and SE getting 30 to 40mm before 02.00.

    Continues to show thunderstorm potential moving up over the country tonight and tomorrow.

    Expecting about 25mm or so here on the S. Dublin coast. Will probably be similar in nature to the heavy band of rain we got in the third week of June.

    Just light to moderate rain in Limk so far in a strengthening Southeasterly wind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 67 ✭✭Go Home Paddy Cat!!


    Cycled in this morning and the usual westerly winds. Cycled home and the wind had done a 180 since this morning - very strong along clontarf in dublin.

    I think I may have found my new favourite forum on boards.

    Question from a total weather philistine - What kinds of altitudes are we talking about when we seen the radar images of the incoming rain clouds?


  • Registered Users Posts: 586 ✭✭✭aisling86


    Winds have significantly eased here in mid cork in the last hour or so. No downpours yet just constant moderate rain.

    Only a few drops here in Limerick city..


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 LoxontheRox


    Rain drops started falling in North Clare, nice breeze too


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,233 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    What are we looking for in terms of those CAPE values for decent CB?

    I've read above 1000 to be sure of anything decent but that was on a random tweet ages ago and I pay those very little heed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,177 ✭✭✭pad199207


    First few drops in Kildare now. Winds continuing to pick up
