    id say the hills are the culprit for that Ger. Similar returns of 20mm + across the Eadestown - Punchestown areas
    Is your station protected much from the wind?

      Deffo orthographic lift enhancing my rainfall.
      The temp sensor and tipping bucket are protected from the wind alright the anenometer is seperated from the station and is at a good height

        Just persistant light rain here.  10.8mm in total.  Wonder will the more showery stuff over England and Wales make it across the Irish Sea?

          Those bands of heavy showers crossing the irish sea, could really ramp up the rain totals in the east

          Yes more rain will arrive on the east and southeast coast later. The frontal stuff is just pivoting around the Low Pressure which is only slowly moving to the east. The rain bands and showery stuff will move to the southwest and south around the low at it's current location.

          15.6mm here so far today

          A total of 7.6mm on the AWS so far from the front - my earlier estimate of 1.5mm before 10am read should have been 0.5mm. Rain was light to moderate throughout the day, only moderate between 5.30pm and 7.30pm.

          Currently 6.2c with 4.8cDPs. Pressure is rising slightly once more, up 4hPa in the last few hours. Winds, N to NNW, 15mph. Max gust was this morning at 39mph.

          If it doesn't rain between the showers, it'll be fine.
