Storm Chandra

The Irish news today has been dominated by the arrival of Storm Chandra on these shores, accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and widespread flooding. The whole country has been under a yellow alert, which will last until 11pm today.

The fact that it had been raining very heavily for days before the storm must have saturated the ground, which would have contributed to the flooding. Unusually, the worst of the flood has been on the East Coast, with Counties Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, and Dublin badly hit. Usually it’s the West of Ireland that bears the brunt of storms which usually come from across the Atlantic.

It’s been a strange day in Maynooth because, despite the storm, the weather hasn’t been too bad at all. There was a long window this morning during which it was actually quite sunny and pleasantly mild, though a bit breezy. The picture on the left shows the situation in mid-morning when the prevailing wind was southerly.

The main mass of raincloud to the North had passed over us by then, and the small but intense strip off the Louth/Dublin coast missed Maynooth entirely. You can see a big gap. Rain was heading towards us from the South, and did reach us in the afternoon, though it wasn’t particularly severe. It remained reasonably warm throughout the day, though it is much colder now (I’m writing this at about 7.30pm).

Dublin is only about 25km from Maynooth and it was a surprise to see major flooding, with parts of the M50 flooded for a time while we experienced nothing particularly severe. Not that I’m complaining!

Not expecting anything to come of this email to Met Éireann, any more than a similar one I sent to Irish Rail over a year ago. But we live in hope. A reply from a human would be a start

#ExtremeWeather events to become more frequent in #Ireland

By Eithne Dodd
Updated / Monday, 29 Dec 2025

"2025 was the year climate scientists agreed it would be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

"The target was agreed by world leaders back in 2015.

"This means a certain amount of damage to the Earth's environment due to human-induced climate change is irreversible.

"In Ireland, several reports this year found that the state of the country's environment was getting worse.

"#MetÉireann climatologist Paul Moore explained that as Ireland warms, extreme weather events will become more frequent.

"Mr Moore told RTÉ’s This Week that sea level rise is 'locked in', even if global warming was limited to 1.5C.

" 'That means when we get an #ExtremeRainfall event and #HighTides or #SpringTides together, we have compound events where you get #TidalLock, you get #CoastalFlooding as well as the rainfall and not being able to run out into the sea,' he said.

"Mr Moore added: 'So those compound events where sea level rise will come in conjunction with storms and heavy rainfall events causing more impacts.

" 'That's something that's definitely going to increase.'

"There has been a 0.2 metre rise in the sea level off the Irish coast between 1901 and 2018.

"The National Climate Change Risk Assessment identified 115 risks for Ireland in a warming world, among them were coastal flooding, #erosion and #ExtremeWinds."
