THIS IS THE weather picture over Ireland this morning as rain moves in from the Irish Sea and blankets the northeast, east and south east.
Today we can expect more rain which Met Éireann warns will be persistent and heavy across the midlands, south, and east.
There’s even a risk of thunder.
Still, slightly better news is that the temperatures will remain pretty warm, reaching highs of 18 degrees Celsius.
So you’ll be wet and muggy. Hurrah.

So as usual its the the bad weather only matters if its in the East.
Absolutely!
Would u ever cop on and listen to yourself.
Spot on Noel, finally you got it
Did you realise that Dublin = Ireland? You obviously haven’t been reading The Journal long enough!
Sat & Sun is sunny in Dublin 21 degrees.
Oh yeah
Some crazy ppl driving on the M7 in v bad visibility.. Slow down and keep some distance, you crazy fools!
TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS!!!
(and not just your pointless ‘parkers’)
I agree yesterday afternoon was the same.. eejits in grey cars on grey roads on a grey day…. i was stayed well away from them!
I have the inside light on reading this article while driving. Does that help?
If you can’t see them how can you stay well away from them:). But lights should be on at all times, even in bright sunny days
50 shades
Lovely day yesterday in the north west- the sun was shining for the Sligo races but if you were a tourist & listened to the weather reports you wouldn’t have come near the place!
Yep! Same in Limerick. But if the weather is bad in Dublin then it’s “across Ireland” right ?!
Same in Limerick?
The sun was indeed shining in Limerick – between several heavy downpours.
Same in Inishowen for a time , but sure we are so far from Dublin for anyone to care.
Apologies, it was raining in the morning yes, but lovely & sunny at lunch and dry when I left work. I don’t have windows so my sample size is admittedly small :-)
Ah Patricia, but you got the northern lights in the sky.
Eh I do believe theyve had articals the past two days about heavy rain in ireland. Jesus. Just cause it talks about the east coast at one point. Want some salt and vinegar for that chip you have there?? These reactions are getting a bit much
You’re right there Jeanie.
Even looking at the picture, by my guess that rain is affecting less than a third of the country but the report is given as “bad” for the country, forget the other 66% let’s focus on the rain. It just doesn’t make sense.
Im in the south east n we’re gettin pissed on, if that helps?
It does Bilbo – cheers.
So story should read, rain over part of the country today, possible risk of thunder.
Headline grabbing stuff.
@paul Ibbs,that system is not static, not is the rain contained in it constant.
Another day looking at the clothes horse!!!
Get the boats out we ll be sailing to work this morning!
If it’s rains a little in dublin the whole of ireland gets to hear about it. If it rains out west we don’t hear a thing from the Dublin based media. There was a tornado in galway yesterday but we don’t hear about that.
I live in Galway and I didn’t even know that!!
There was an article about it on the Journal.ie actually.
Wow its a story about the weather and you all still manage to get in a bit of Dublin bashing.. thats a skill.
Eh, yes it was reported in the Journal, and weather reports do mention other parts of the country.
Eh yes we did, it’s been on the news this morning and in the journal
To all the people on here with the “nobody hears about rain if it’s outside of Dublin” and “what about that twister in Galway” attitude I read 2 articles on the journal one was about severe rain warning in the South (Cork and Kerry) and the other was all about that twister in Galway…..
You have to agree that if it’s sunny in dublin the radio and papers go mad for it and no matter if it’s dull and cloudy out the rest of the country. If it it sunny out west and raining in dublin. We out west don’t go rubbing your noses in it.
I read them both 2 seems people just jump in head 1st on here oh well a day for staying in the dry I think it sounds bad out there.
And NOT your fog lights!!! Any time it rains people’s put on their fog lights. But the other day when there actually was a fog not one car I passed had fog lights on! Go figure!
Great day for ducks
And when dublin wins anything you certainly dont hear the end of it
So no mention of Clare last few days, or of Cork.
It’s October. Get over it.
Yea get over it. The month after next the evenings get brighter!
Great weather for plants and especially the lawn – fill patchy bits with grass seed – all this rain will green it in no time and it will be beautiful in the Spring.
Well its autumn, I have to agree John, so the rain is normal and my new planted trees need it :-)
The heat though with it makes it so humid…. waiting for the chilly days now with my stove… love it
It’s raining
have your say
