Trogdor

Not sure whether to start another new thread for this so i'll post it in here, there's another nasty low approaching from the south-west that will hit tonight, gale force winds and heavy rain are likely for a time around midnight.

Met Eireann
Tonight

Very windy tonight with strong to gale force south to southeast winds gusting 90 to 120 km/h. The heavy rain will quickly extend to remaining northern and eastern areas, to give some very wet weather for a time, with a risk of some local spot flooding

NewsWire

were just beginning to get the first speckels of the rain here in Limerick.It looks to be just a rain event for us anyway

Windy as hell here, lot of rain too, no station, would estimate around 70k mark in gusts though (blew over a half full wheelie bin is as scientific as I can get, sorry).

NewsWire

yes actually it is getting very gusty here in Lmerick city.The Patio chairs have vanished..i hope the neighbours return them:D

ninebeanrows

Yes wind picking up here in Dublin!:)
MetO expecting wind gusts to 75mph later.

Highest winds will affect the eastern seaboard between 11pm and 3am
with sustained 40/45mph winds likely... Expect a gust in Rosslare to tip close to 75mph later..

Along the east coast there will be widespread gusts to 55/60knots or 65/70mph

Rain hammering against my windows right now, been an interesting day.

Was a cold crisp 0.3C this morning with a nice ground frost then sunny with showers this afternon and now getting stormy, almost a perfect day!! (perfect = snow instead of rain ).

ch750536

Gone reasonably quiet now in Abbeyfeale, so about 2hrs of wind and rain. Mostly S SW, down to an average windy day now.

At least the permanet mast hasn't blown down again...

Snowbie

Supercell

ninebeanrows

Interesting developments for later this week..

After tonights stormy conditions pass.. It looks likely that some true storm winds will affect the whole Island on Wednesday night. Its early stage but s deepeninh low whistles past the Northwest against a strenghening HP over europe. Latest proggs suggest a country wide storm.. with 50mph winds around coasts with gusts exceeding 80mph with gusts even inland reaching 70mph. One to watch.. and that storm throws lots of rain into the bad coupled with the wicked winds..

With luck i'll have the site up and running for that one.. once the domain resolves after months of problems!!!

The wind is Howling down here.
Not very pleasant for my driving at all.

Frequently reaching and going above 40mph and thats with the anemometer practically on the ground.
If that was on a 30ft pole,you might see 60mph by the noise out there.

By god its windy here in 'Carla' town, and bucketing it down at the moment, not a pleasant night at all!! :eek:

Mothman

It's windy, but nowhere near stormy yet.
Max gust 39mph.

junkyard

Its stopped raining and the gales have died down from a strong gale to just a steady breeze. I'm in county Cork by the way.

mike65

Tristrame is driving whilst online! Thats got to be worth a few points.

Mike.

heh mike

powers dipped a few times here in the last half hour-wind howling like mad but not near the 50mph ground level record gust of a few weeks back.
It is more constant than that storm though ie a sustained high average at ground level often well above 30mph.

mike65

I had visions of a laptop powered off the ciggy lighter in a 1987 Daihatsu Fourtrak!

Rain ceased here in the last 20 mins and the winds dropped to almost nothing.

Wind is really howling out there now, and according to my vp2 its raining cats and dogs again:D. I can hear quite a few alarms going off now. The gusts aren't that strong here, it's just the conistent strong winds thats making it so windy

Snowbie

Max here at 35mph,high avg but not stormy.

SpitfireIV

It seems fierce windy again, but was calming down when I going to bed, has the wind come back for round 2?

Mothman

Yer weatherwemen Angie Phillips said we might get storm force winds on Thursday up north on the lunchtime weather forecast. Hold on to yer hats

Scary drive this morning into work. Was my first time driving in white rain - ie it was flooding all over the place and was so heavy it looked like a white wall in the headlights, scary stuff, took it very very easy driving in, mountain living is a whole new driving experience for sure.
Going to be interesting once the proper cold frosty weather sets in.

Trogdor

Very stormy charts tonight, just one storm after another following up from the atlantic, and it doesn't look like we're going to break this pattern anytime soon. It's only a matter of time before one of these storms really starts to cause damage. Currently some very intense wind and rain progged for thursday and Sunday on GFS.

look at this baby for Ireland on Thursday - We may be blown away
