Remenents Of Hurricane Gordon Over Ireland.

Ronan|Raven

Gone very strong here in Roscommon, blowing branches off some trees beside me (smallish ones)

abetarrush

Anyone else get the sandy wind earlier????

CJhaughey

Wind seems to have died right down here in SW Cork.
I can hear it a little in the trees, the rain earlier was the heaviest I have seen since I have been here, had a lake outside for about half an hour!

Strong gale at Malin Head and Casement still force 7 at 22z

Just had a pressure rise of 1.3mb in 15 minutes, 3.3 during past hour.

Mean has dropped to 25mph, but I can hear that it has picked up again.

Sky news reported earlier that a woman in a golf cart was hit by a falling tree at the K club.

Out in Tramore myself, wasnt as expected. Over-hyped perhaps? Got maybe an hour or two (at max) of heavy wind. Been calming since 9 and hardly anything now. Same in Waterford - drove through.

Supprised!

Snowbie

Pressure at 991.4mb and rising.

when the pressure goes up what does this mean

Snowbie

The pressure is filling or the low pressure centre is moving away.Pressure is lowest to the centre of the system so when it moves off the pressure would rise.The pressure gradient is tightest near the centre of the circulation ie:stronger winds.

charlie@w.d

so if we got an unusually low pressure doest this mean that the weather would be very very bad and vice versa

Mothman

That gust of 59 knots at Casement is highest Sept gust since 1973 and the 66 knots at Malin Head is highest Sept gust since 1983.

Snowbie

To put it simple.Exactly.

What an eerie silence now outside.Calm
