šŸŒ¬ The Weather Thread part 2

Some craic driving down the M9 there. Could barely see the car in front at some stages, such was the torrentiality of the rain.

Driving back by dungourney into castlemartyr was fairly fucking dicey. Dark road and deep puddles.

Big storm tomorrow into Thursday? @TreatyStones

Itā€™s dark here at 3 pm.

I wouldnā€™t say big. Possibly as windy as itā€™s been so far this winter but I wouldnt be overly concerned at the moment.

Reassuring. As in the way we were told the economic foundations were sound 15 years ago.

For Christmas I want to get a rainfall measure for my auld lad. Anybody any ideas on where Iā€™d get a decent one?

We use a wheelbarrow to measure it.

If thereā€™s 2 inches of water in the wheelbarrow that generally means theres been 1 inch of rain.

You can get electronic ones too.

Or the MET Eireann website will tell you. Only at certain local stations obviously.

Iā€™ll dig out the link on my PC if interested.

Limerick city getting a good wash at the minute

Sick rain all morning. It has brightened up a bit in the west now.

The gusts are severe enough up here.

Iā€™d imagine with recent rainfall weā€™ll see plenty of trees down by evening

Iā€™ve never seen rain like that in my life. I had American blaring out the car as it began to lash. Some fun.

I think you are over egging things. Itā€™s a bit breezy. It shouldnt be nearly strong enough to knock trees.
