[The Enforcer]

Rain seems much more advanced over Ireland than forecast - even the current 10am forecast is inaccurate - as it is clearing the east coast and is even pestering south-west Scotland whereas that wasn't expected until after 1pm. This leads me to believe it is arriving at least 3 hours ahead of schedule.
