Wet, wet, wet.
In Ireland, we’re often guilty of exaggerating when it comes to the weather, but most people are being genuine when they say they can’t remember rain as bad as what we’ve experienced in recent days.
There is virtually no part of the country that hasn’t experienced flooding of some description and judging by the latest forecasts, there doesn’t appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel either.
We’ve all seen the effects of Storm Desmond for ourselves, but it’s still quite staggering to look at satellite imaging from NASA demonstrating the level of rainfall experienced in Ireland and the UK from November 30 through to December 7.
At one point, for example, up to 304mm (12 inches of rain) was reported to have fallen in just 24 hours.

OK rain, you’ve made your point, now if you could kindly feck off it would be much appreciated.
