Very true SF10. Dublin having the greater population, means it also has the greater amount of "sob" stories, so gets more coverage...
I work in a public service that can get drafted in to help with floods and have done for 15 years now... I have yet to see non coastal floods as bad as these in those years... Thank God I'm not working tonight for it!
*Fire lit*
Temperature is now down to 8.1 and falling, so cloud would appear to be breaking up overhead now...
-
I know that, I meant tat if it kept raining, we'd be rightly up sh*t creek.
Anyway, only 1 thing for it:
-
The high tide is on the way, but the rain has eased considerably. About an hour early thank God.
-
Rain total in Dublin (IMBY) for last 24 hours, is a whopping 82mm.
Worst flooding I can remember in my adult life, and I don't mean coastal flooding. There are houses with shores outside them on lower levels with fountains gushing up outside them. A neighbour down the road is under 4 foot of water. Poor fella.
Took me 3 hours to drive 3 miles earlier. Crazy amount in 24 hours, topped up on the 25 or so mm we got yesterday afternoon.
-
Working in town last night, and although the high tide was just 3.9 mtrs, the liffey was perilously close to the bottom of the boardwalk.
I saw on the way home this morning that the Dublin city council had their drainage divisions out in force. Could be a rough day ahead, and I'll be watching the radar with interest! Especially with a higher tide today (due at 10.30, yet at 9.15, the liffey was still flowing outwards!!! Lots of water so!)
-
doesn't look the may west for the rest of october.
met eireann have a weather warning for flooding tonight.
Bloody sodden ground anyway. WIth all this rain, the low pressure too, it'll be interesting when the tides come in alright for coastal towns...
22.4 mm rain in 24 hours here. Kerry and the west coast had a large amount of rain already yesterday...
-
Holding steady at 10.4 C now for the last hour. Certainly a much milder night than of late.
-
4.4 C for the last hour. No apparent air frost my way soon!
Lovely crisp night though.
-
What has a chart published on 18 Oct, for a day two weeks in advance, got to do with the rest of Winter and "what's to come"?!
For what it's worth, it's a model discussion thread, and he's discussing it. I don't see your point in bringing your dismay up here!
-
temp has now dropped to 5.4 Degrees. Mental last hour of weather.
-
Getting very dark looking overhead now... Temp is holding at 14.8, but pressure is dropping fast, now 999.6 from 1002 an hour ago.
-
Looking at the radar (on met.ie) there... Wow, some deep red colours! And it's heading east. Should be in Dublin within the hour I reckon. Violent gusts here, under blue skies!
14.3 C and 1002hpa. Feels a lot colder though!
-
first frost by wednesday night?
Looking like that!
-
It's funny how quiet this thread gets when the autumnal look is in charge and no wintery weather on the verge!
Anyway, a chilly few days on the horizon for Ireland, and I'll be glad of it. The doom and greyness of late has been boring!
-
I am going for 1st air frost: 22/10
First lying snow 12/11
first Ice Days 29/12 - 5/01
-
Boring bloody miserable weather.
I do like the look of that chart I have to say... Fingers crossed GFS grabs some of that action... Very early though!
-
Ditto Pomeroy. Drizzle starting now though...
-
Brilliant. The first ramp.... That means this thread will be alive and kicking soon!
Love the anticipation!
-
Over 42mm of rain in the last 24 hours and near 10 mm for the last hour. Incredible down pour just petering out now. Looking at the radar, more to come too. My water butt is overflowing!
-
Looks like another warm up on the cards on Tuesday or so after our somewhat more milder conditions this weekend..... Nice! I love the cold and snow but you are spot on stormforce 10, last years eating bills were outrageous!
-
Crazy warm over the last few days, up to 23.9 recorded IMBY.
Anyway, looking forward to the autumnal cool down this week coming... And then into November.... Who knows?
-
you just sobered up then!
Congrats and enjoy my friend!
Maybe sober is too strong a word
Thanks for the congrats!
Looking like a wee battle ground for us in the expected good weather to our east and the powerful low to our west next week....
-
Up the Dubs!!!

Wait until you see the main entrance to Dundrum shopping centre, and the pitiful sandbags at the doors!
