Hope you brought a brolly to work with you…
Only yesterday we were being warned that Hurricane Gonzalo was headed our way next week but it looks like today isn’t going to be much craic either.
The folks at Met Eireann have warned of very heavy wind and rain in all places later
Many places dry with sunny spells. Heavy showers around &local patches of dense fog. Very wet & windy everywhere later, mild highs15-17C

And you can see that via these images from the Met Office across the water, tweeted by BBC’s Barra Best.
Cork will get hit by the wind and rain first, reaching Belfast this evening. This is 1pm, 4pm, 7pm (via @metoffice) pic.twitter.com/FbLCPcXlyD — Barra Best (@barrabest) October 17, 2014
And this image, via Meteo Times, also shows the very heavy rain that will hit by the time it gets dark tonight.

If you were thinking of having a night in by the fire, it looks like you made the right choice.
