Beach now deserted. Waves churning up nicely. Fire on and serving hot whiskeys. Nothing to wild or unusual yet.

You'd never think there is a storm on the way here in Dublin, it's as calm as a millpond here at the moment only temperatures have plumetted this afternoon...

We won't get hit by the rain for about 6 hours lads. It's only on the West Coast right now.

Heavy rain and strong gusts here in Galway City,but thats a normal day here:).

arctictree

Exactly 5.0c here.

Front seems to be very well defined on the radar:

IvySlayer

It seems to be moving faster :eek:

Probably only a couple of hours from the East.

First rain drops starting now.

Breeze getting a little stronger, its direction is all over the place at the moment although the drops of rain are pretty much from the west.

Calm here in Dublin city
Temp 9.1 Deg up from 7.9
Pressure has been dropping over the last couple of hours 1003 hPa

maquiladora

Gust of 77kph at Belmullet.

Damomanye

Pressure just dropped to 999 here, just starting to rain now. So cold!

Tactical

Barometric pressure reading 1003hPa in West Limerick.

Not a calibrated measurement but will serve to indicate drop as a relative reading.

maquiladora

90 kph gust at M4 buoy.

Slightly stronger than what the 12Z GFS has for that location at that time. Either the storm is moving a little quicker than forecast or is a little stronger.

Either way, still pretty much on track, no major surprises and nothing to get excited about so far.

The clouds and sky have just got that bit darker and heavier looking by me
