    Worst summer in a long time in Mayo, only few hours of sunshine here and there, last year least we got few weeks in May/June.

    Heaviest rain I have seen in Galway in a long time. Expecting the evening to be nice.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    19.4C Mid Tipp. Dry but blustery. Not expecting any thunder in my area, it’s far too blustery.You need near calm conditions for dat in my experience. The forecasted rain should pass through quickly given how windy it is, and it’s a narrow enough band

    Currently 23.6C and warmer outside then in which is rare in an 80's house with rubbish insulation, could cut the air with a knife.

    The heavy rain has passed and it's warm and sunny in Galway.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Rain stopped in the last 20 minutes in Galway, much brighter with sun peaking out.

    Strong breeze.

    That low is impressively huge. Looks like a giant eye wall inside!

    Got very breezy earlier in Waterford before the rain arrived before 3pm. Got quite heavy there for a few about 10 mins ago. Wind had eased and feeling cool enough.

    Most a squib in Mid Tipp for about an hour, then a heavy burst of rain for a few minutes as the front cleared through

    Not too far south of you and we had a fairly wet afternoon, rain on and off since lunchtime around Rathdrum. Tomorrow looks cooler than initially forecast too, 17 rather than 20 that was showing earlier.

    Drizzle for a couple of hours in Lucan from lunchtime, then dried up. Light rain again, and gone very dark since before 6pm. Feeling much cooler this evening, especially with that strong breeze. Fairly miserable.

    For such a small country our weather is so localised.

    I was in Kilkenny today and raining from 12.30 onwards non stop till I left at 4.

    I came home and not a drop in North County Dublin all day.

    Met Eireann ought to issue a public apology and explanation for getting it so wrong, and not for the first time either. There'll be cattle starving and farmers with lost hay going broke trying to bring in extra feed for animals this winter because of their incompetence and refusal to update their hourly forecasts even though we can see the rain on the horizon.

    I've long suspected the hourly graphic and hourly forecast rain functions on the Met Eireann site is generated by computer models with no quality checks by a human.

    Why isn't there someone cross referencing their hourly forecasts with radar and making adjustments across locations in real time? They probably don't even have employees that could re-program the hourly forecast rain map to override what the computer says.

    A real "because the computer says so" organization.
