On the Isle of Lewis off Scotland, gust of 36 knots recorded. About 10 knots higher than the max gusts for that area suggested by the GFS for this time.

I'd love to there this evening.

Gust of 31 knots at Belmullet.

Been an absolutely gorgeous crisp sunny calm morning in East Clare - been out for a ride halfway up Maghera and the views were stunning - however now it's started to grey up a little bit, no noticeable wind yet and I think my barometer's broken (more of an heirloom than a functioning article) but no sign of anything major yet.

Will post any updates and pics though - and thanks for the link to the surfcams !!!

Afraid not my friend.
Its obvious that they know the storm is coming by the way they where acting.

Coming along nicely

ha ha i find it strange that some people are giving out about papers and other media hypeing up the weather and then some people go and do the exact same thing postin about thursday storm to be bigger when we all dont have a clue if it will be a hurricane or a breeze.

The Paws

Does anyone know where to get a really good satellite link for the Northern Atlantic Ocean so we can see what is happening over there before it reaches Ireland??

thetonynator

This place hasn't been this busy since january!!! I go away for 2 hours and theres 4 new pages on the thread when i come back!

Yeah i was thinking it might be a mistake when i saw it.

howlinwolf

not expecting too much here either, some heavy rain for a time tonight maybe but not a lot else really......is there any chance of the low moving more to the east so the really strong winds out in the atlantic will move in closer to ireland

pauldry

very dark.
breeze slowly picking up.
just a normal autumn storm or winter storm if you count november as winter

nothing out of the ordinary.

lets see what transpires thurs or fri

temperature here in Cork is about 7c! see the link where you are based. Some where in the central of Ireland is slighly under 5c! Oh brr!

943mb would be quite intense but going all the way back to the night of the big wind the pressure of that storm was 917mb :eek:

also see the wind gust of 57+km/h in Belmullet

Might be fun if a few of us, in the same area, start posting huge wind speeds to make you inland chaps jealous. I heard rumour of an 80 mph gust - that sort of thing !
