Current Weather Conditions - December 2023

Lads diabolical week here in Donegal, the wind and rain is relentless.

That's actually double what fell in wicklow Town below you,double loughlinstown above you and double what fell in Arklow

10 to 20mm above the rainfall also than most of the stations on Wow and Davis in Cork and Kerry

It seems to be happening a lot

What's going on in Greystones? I presume yours is the cove on the Davis network ?

Blackbank farm is a site near Blessington lake which is a Vue according to pad that shakes a lot on a pole,its even less and its near 1900 for the year,thanks to the shaking

Ditto the station in Gorey which consistently throws out double anywhere else for similar reasons

BTW it's not unusual for pockets of the east coast to ,for a period persistently record anomalous higher rainfall,we had that here in the October to December period of 2018

Over 2 inches in 12hours would mean a lot of flooding

Last time that happened here,both roads into the town were closed for a time

I assumed that was yours,it isn't?

Regardless there's definitely something wrong with it as it records no rain up untill midnight last night and then suddenly at midnight,its 13mm in 5 minutes or a rain rate of 156mm/hr

The rest of the night,seems to be an extra mm every 5 to 10 mins

Does that tally with yours ?

No rain to midnight looks suspicious
