Conditions.
Just goes to show that
appearances can be deceptive.
My impression was that it didn’t rain very heavily yesterday
& I was surprised when I had 15mm on my gauge by early evening.
Then a band of heavier rain swept through the catchment in the early hours of this morning.
The radar picture shows how it was at 02.15 this morning when the rain was close to exiting the catchment. I have another 12mm on my gauge here which fell overnight – a total of 36mm in the last day & a half.
Air temperature here was 10ºC at 06.30 today.
The weather will continue to be broken for all of the next week with depressions coming in from the Southwest.

The upper river at
Millstreet peaked at 05.00 this morning – up 90cm on Friday’s level.
The upper river at Killavullen is up 85cm to 2.10m at 07.00 & is still rising fast.
The lower river at Ballyduff is up 60cm to 0.94m & is rising fast at 07.00.
Clarity is about 1½ feet, so ideal spinning water.
Water temperature
at Ballyduff: 9.6ºC / 49.6ºF @ 07.00
today.
Water temperature at
Killavullen: 10.4 – 9.7ºC / 50.8 – 49.8ºF.
Prospects.
Looking very promising
with the river up a couple of feet & sea-liced May fish about! Combined
with tides peaking at 3.8m at Youghal from Monday to Thursday next week should
help to bring in fresh fish.
Conditions should also be
much more pleasant with daytime temperatures of 13-15ºC & nighttime
temperatures of 5-6ºC.
