The buoys will probably be quoted quite a bit over tonight and tomorrow morning so heres a handy map to show you the rough positions of them.

DWCommuter

For what its worth, the wind has picked up in Naas, Co. Kildare. Noticeably different since 24.00 hrs.

Good night and bring it on!

Here's one from the met eireann site that more accurately shows the positions of the buoys.

Its kicking off in Newbridge , had a gust of 54.7KM/H @ 01.53,

Can hear the rain lashing down too,

Pressure is 980.4 and falling rapidly ,

Is this kicking off early or is there a lot more to be expected tomorrow ?

Met Eireann is forecasting general gusts about twice as strong as that for tomorrow.

Well the winds here has picked up significantly here in last hour with the rainband moving through!

Lets hope for a major storm tomorrow with major winds!

BluesBerry

A loud bang woke me something has been knocked over in the back garden , I can hear the wind :eek:

Has it started already?

Just means it probably wont get any stronger than it is now but as MT was saying earlier the energy is already there now so it shouldn't change what is forecast for tomorrow.

Limerick (castletroy) isnt very windy although a lot of light rain being dumped.

TheMilkyPirate

Just noticed this thread. Really starting to howl here in Galway in the last hour or so and it's raining too.
Hope to god whoever left sheets of corrugated iron in the field beside my house weighed it down with something!

amacachi

Probably late to be posting this for people likely to read this, but everyone be extra careful locking windows and the like, it's weather like this when scumbags tend to hit around here at least.

maquiladora

0Z GFS is an upgrade.

Goodnight.

Wind has died down here in the west. Nothing like it was last night, Infact its actually very calm.

M.T. Cranium

Models have not changed that much but the low appears to be swerving further south to me, and this could equate to even stronger winds.

The track was being shown on models as almost due east at 58N but already the centre has dropped to 57N (16W) which is going to bring it very close to Malin Head later today. Will be adjusting wording of forecasts and alerts slightly but what this means, essentially, is that damaging wind potential may be even more extensive than we had been discussing earlier.

There are no buoys any closer to this centre than the M4 and UK buoy to its west, and these are not showing the extreme winds yet. But pressures are continuing to fall.

Squaredude

really starting to pick up.fairly sure my wheelie bins just took a trip to the other end of the garden.

Mc Love

Looks like it could hit hard at Malin hd.

One thing we don't want is the center coming down over us like what happened on Sunday with the last effort of a storm. Also the swirl/hook seems to be breaking up?
