Southern Ireland weather never seems to get a mention! Looking at the radar
it would appear that Central and Western Southern Ireland are in the middle of at least eight hours of torrential rain. I don't ever recall seeing such a large stationary mass of rain with pink and red levels of intensity for such a length of time. Dave |

That's because it's 'uk'.sci.weather, and southern Ireland isn't in the UK. ![]() Looking at the radar it would appear that Central and Western Southern Ireland are in the middle of at least eight hours of torrential rain.

It that mass of rain headed towards these areas? |

Met Eireann give yesterdays rain totals. http://www.met.ie/latest/yesterday.asp Only 57 mm seems to be the max over 24 hrs at Valentia. Not so much orographic enhancement or seeeder-feeder mecahnism going on compared with Cumbria but nevertheless surprising considering all those red and yellows shown on the radar yesterday. Is the radar overcooking it when it comes to Ireland? Could there be more snow/rain mix in the clouds here, enhanceing reflection and giving overestimation of rainfall rates at the surface? Is the calibration of the Met Eireann radars the same as for those of the UKMO? Len Wembury, SW Devon |

In Cork alone damage is estimated at £90 million. Useful article he http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/.../breaking1.htm where these words appear: "Massive damage was caused all along the western approach to Cork city centre, after flood waters surged, following the release by the ESB of a large volume of water from Inniscarra Dam eight miles from the city" and http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...7.html?via=rel Waiting for more heavy rain right now:-( -- Mike Tullett - Coleraine 55.13°N 6.69°W posted 11/21/2009 9:52:05 AM GMT |

And now it appears "Water supplies to over 18,000 householders in Cork city are unlikely to be restored for at least a week".
