    After that thunder, here comes the rain... big band heading in to the city (edit: or maybe not... the band seems way too south).

    Those rain bands over West Cork still look quite intense, any reports from that area? Could be significant flooding from that?

    This system is a lot windier than I was expecting based on forecasts.

    I think Cork is in big trouble the next few days. Haven't seen this much rain forecast in a long time.

    Wild wuthering night even out here in West Mayo.

    The weather map is amazing. But we are escaping the worst.

    Hang on to your hats...

    Love when it's cool and dry in and around halloween. Looks like that probably won't be happening this yr. Mild and often unsettled seems likely for the remainder of this month. Rotten

    Orange warning definitely warranted for my part of Wicklow. 37.6mm in Greystones since midnight. Around 20mm of that fell between 6 and 7am.

    I've no instrumentation but don't think it was too bad here at Rathdrum just based on the general area. Roads that I've seen flooded many times during non warning level rain spells are clear. Maybe was a bit more of a coastal event for Wicklow?

    From radar looks like the rain/showers are dumping their load along the coast.

    The squall line over Navan this morning brought such intense rain and still pelting down.

    We're only halfway through the Orange warning I grant you that, but so far in Cobh I've had a grand total of 3.5mm worth. It underresponds in strong wind as its up a pole, but certainly no Orange just yet! Things seem to be breaking up and missing us at the moment.

    It's been a bit more here in Ballincollig. My own weather station has recorded 4.9mm today so far. I'm not optimistic for any further significant activities as there seems to be a storm detour in place around the Cork metro area at the moment.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    There's been 12mm in Sligo so far and 8mm in Cork. Why is Cork under Orange warning? Should be maybe Orange warning there for rest of October instead.

    There's one more coming then it's done. So probably 25mm in total. Hardly Orange territory. Maybe Met Eireann were concerned about all that lightning. Or maybe they were afraid what happened Sunday would happen again but nowhere near as bad as that.

    Colleague in Wicklow (town i think) says flooding in her area and bottom floor of the house flooded :(

    Radar looking very ominous for the SE coastal area right now.
