The gfs has really upped the ante for rainfall tonight over the East. I would think electric picnic is hanging by a thread this evening as to whether it will be cancelled

DOCARCH · 03-09-2022 5:54pm

Rain has stopped now in Greystones. 33.0mm. Wind has gotten up. Gusting 34 knots.

Graces7 · 03-09-2022 6:05pm

THUNDER! That startled me! So much I wondered what it was....

So. West Coast joins the maeistrom.

Cancelled? Tonight's deluge doesn't arrive in laois till 3am ish

Graces7 · 03-09-2022 6:24pm

And the wind has followed the thunder so the tranquillity has ended with the falling of darkness over land and ocean. West Mayo offshore ...and the coming of autumn sees my strength wane.. The closer to nature the greater te synchronicity.

And heavy rain wondrously hard on windows,,, TRULY autumn is here...No doubts now of that,, not because met ie says so but the weather this year does...

03-09-2022 7:27pm

Great to see the rain proper. If memory serves me well irish water loses 40% to leaks. In my part of Donegal it must be 90% ha because we had water restrictions from 11pm to 10am during July even though we never experienced anything close to drought conditions. So let it piss from the high heavens because there’s nothing more annoying than water restrictions haha

was 3am earlier. Models still cant decide if its waterford or wexford and beyond that's going to get the most.

Danno · 03-09-2022 7:59pm

Dodged alot of the heavier rain today - AWS reports just 3.0mm since 10am, which I think is a slight over-read.

Some sunshine eventually this evening and it felt warm in that even though temperatures never got above 17c.

Not much of a breeze around - top gust 13mph today and general speeds between 3mph and 6mph.

Billcarson · 03-09-2022 8:07pm

26mm I recorded today. I'm sure the trees etc will be happy....

03-09-2022 8:15pm

Thank god it’s raining. Have 2 wells and one went dry yesterday, if the other went dry I would be in serious trouble for cows drinking water. Grass gone very scarce, hopefully growth can rebound quickly.

Neddyusa · 03-09-2022 8:50pm

God the doom and despair on here in response to one wet day is nuts!

We've had how many (15?) consecutive drier than normal months...

Did people genuinely think that was going to last forever or what?!

Reality is, climatology would tell us we're long overdue a really wet 6 month (or longer) spell. So I suppose there's lots of time for the moaners to get used to it.

Anyhow for gardens, reservoirs and farmers, this rain is greatly welcome.

Funny enough we've had only 2mm so far in Roscommon, but that will change tonight I reckon.

Good to see posts like this.... reality...Out here offshore West Mayo, we are outside this weather for now but had some useful rain yesterday, The farmers have had a good crop of hay and as you rightly say, all needs replenishing.. Green Ireland ! Just been on met;ie and the map is amazing.

Graces7 · 04-09-2022 5:11am

And heavy rain now.

DOCARCH · 04-09-2022 6:04am

36.4mm rain recorded here in Greystones since midnight. Thought that was a bit mad/wrong but then looked at WOW. Looks like general Dublin area had right lashing of rain with some big rain totals! Also looks many areas under orange warning had significantly less rain.

Squeaksoutloud · 04-09-2022 7:56am

The wind and rain was crazy in north county Dublin around 4.30 until just after 5. Very exposed here but felt almost Orange wind levels right in the coast. Suddenly dropped off just after 5 then...was able to get back to sleep. 65 km/h gust at the airport I think.

DOCARCH · 04-09-2022 8:14am

50 knot gust here in Greystones around that time (...at 0422 to be precise!).

Beautiful morning now. Clear/sunny and relatively calm.

Graces7 · 04-09-2022 8:17am

Hours of hard heavy rain and a gray morning with clouds....... and clouds of midge. They love this weather.

Rock Lesnar · 04-09-2022 8:37am

32mm since i checked at 11.30 last night here in meath, well over 50mm in 24hours

Tell me about, the baby and myself woke up twice with noise of wind and rain last night.

Looks like we git about 10mm in an hour so not surprised it woke us.

What I wasn't expecting was to wake this morning to gin blue skies!

sryanbruen · 04-09-2022 8:59am

Completely slept through that wind and rain 😅

appledrop · 04-09-2022 9:04am

Looks like we got about 26mm of rain between 2am and 5am last night.

No wonder we were awake half the night!

Some higher totals on WOW from some PWS in Dublin.

61.7mm in Portmarnock

58.2mm in Blanchardstown

51.8mm at Castaheany

51.3mm at both Milltown and Churchtown

Appreciate how a weather station is mounted can dramatically effect rain totals, so they may not be highly accurate. Still, a good wetting!

Yeah I don't bother with PWS, only official. Too much randomness for me to consider, granted rain isn't as greatly affected as say temperature.

28mm overnight + 17mm yesterday = 45mm in my backyard.

Those totals that DOCARCH posted seem a bit high for amounts after midnight so I think it might include Saturday’s rainfall too?

DOCARCH · 04-09-2022 12:03pm

Beautiful day in Wicklow now! Doing the Wicklow Head walk atm.

Gonzo · 04-09-2022 12:04pm

A night of heavy rain kept me awake for much of the night with gutters overflowing. It's a nice day now, plenty of sun and feeling warm and much of today should remain dry so make the most of it. It will remain potentially unsettled or very unsettled over the coming 10 to 14 days, no signs of a respite from the Atlantic even deep into FI. Summer is well and truly over.

DOCARCH · 04-09-2022 12:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119568682#Comment_119568682

Close to 70mm in Greystones between yesterday and today.

SuperBowserWorld · 04-09-2022 12:11pm

Summer took a long time starting this year, but it was definitely a warm, sunny, even hot summer. Shorts, t shirts most days. Can't believe there were no hose pipe bans. Can't remember any wind.

Definitely feels like Autumn today. Jumper and jeans. Rain coat weather. Windy. Yesterday was wet all day. I'd forgotten what continuous rain looked like.

North Wicklow.

Meteorite58 · 04-09-2022 12:21pm

Beautiful bright sunny morning in Kerry with a steady breeze. Another 6mm last night on top of an estimated 22mm for the 3rd. Ponds filling up nicely and there is a freshness already in the lawns, the leaf fall continues apace, cant recall seeing this many leaves fall so early. Hopefully will stay dry until this evening.

The summer is still here at the Botantical Gardens, in North Dublin.

I did try and alter pictures but I can't.

Sure just turn your phones around it will be grand😉

We go every year to sculpture in context exhibition. The 6 year old does be in his element finding them all.

mcburns07 · 04-09-2022 7:52pm

Quite a nice day here in East Cork up until mid afternoon, sunny and mild but windy. Gone very autumnal now, heavy clouds, strong breeze and rain on the way.

dsmythy · 04-09-2022 8:27pm

Anyone come across many stories of wind damage from last night? A large branch snapped from a tree into my sister's house. I asked if there was anything else on her road she said someone's BBQ set went through their window. Another had a trampoline take flight. This was in Swords.

sryanbruen · 04-09-2022 9:55pm

Nice bit of colour tonight in Dublin before the rain comes.

Kutebride · 05-09-2022 12:03am

Saturday in Dingle took part in a half marathon at 9am. The rain was solid for the first 6 miles of the rain along with roars of thunder and a flash lighting. My goodness; rain falling on us and running water at our feet down the slopes of hills. The second half of the run was like a new season with the sun coming out to see those stunning views on the penninsula. It was pretty special. We struck lucky with dry daylight conditions there after to enjoy rest of weekend in Kerry @Meteorite58

It was a cooler day on Saturday maybe reaching 14⁰. Journey back to Meath today reached temps of 18⁰-20⁰.

Here comes more rain tonight.

17⁰ Meath

It would not be an Irish wind without the obligatory low flying trampoline..

Out here everything that COULD fly did so decades if not centuries ago.

Sounds wonderful Kutebride, that was a right test of a run, well done. Yeah yesterday felt quite cool, was out doing a few jobs until the rain and thunder arrived here early evening, some spectacular clouds with plenty of clear blue sky too. Indeed today was such a different day, got up to 19.5C here ,bright and breezy, great for pottering around and enjoyed taking a few pictures before the cloud filled in early evening with rain following, wet evening with 10mm at last count. Must take a spin back to Dingle soon with the season quietening down.

Graces7 · 05-09-2022 6:45am

West Mayo offshore island,

There is a little sound of wind.

I did well today, 2 loads of washing dry before the weather changed.

completedit · 05-09-2022 7:58pm

Have absolutely no idea why anyone wanted rain to fall. This is brutal. Just showered for a minute there, definitely came down with stronger force than my pressure shower.
