Not much to write home about here in Dublin yet ( i know it's not the centre of the universe before you all start but it just happens to be where I live, sorry) Glad the west got something but I'm feeling a bit left out TBH, is it going to pick up a bit IYO.

Here are the ASCAT winds, measured by satellite, at 11:44 today, showing 50kts or more to the west.

12z HIRLAM still has strong winds off the Donegal coast right up till evening

Wind forecast for 18:00utc (24 Ms = beufort Force 9)

Well, interesting journey.

Seen a couple of trees down, an Eircom line down and most interestingly two of those orange message signs typically used to warn of roadworks and events had capsized. Both had the wheels removed to prevent theft.

Also a shower just now has brought a decent flash of lightening and a good clap of thunder.

Apart from that most of the wind seems to have died down and its no more than a typical wet and windy day here in West Limerick.

faktisperminute

only if it was close to 0 degrees! ohh i would've loved to see them flakes fly aggressively in them hard winds!

anyways the winds here in roscommon are very gusty all day and i can still hear the wind singing a song to me!

Huge waves near Kilkee at the moment, spectacular sight.

12Z GFS downgrades wind along the east coast this evening. Still staying windy up in the northwest though for another 6 hours or so.

Gusting up to 50mph here again along as a shower passes through yay!

first light flicker of the day

Very worrying in Donegal now, power flickering on and off and wind is showing no signs of weakening, actually intensifying.

Is the Low dropping south over Scotland? That might give the NW coast another little blast. Some charts have it centered over central Scotland later

Very heavy rain battering against my study window here in the gusty wind. Although the wind isn't too bad actually!

still gusting but not as intense (unless your up a mountain somewhere)

Deep Easterly

Back up to 26mph mean here now and gusting on average around 45mph WSW


Edit: frequently gusting over 50 mph now. Gone a bit wild!!!

irish1967

Gotten dark yeah.. maybe the wind has changed direction slightly in the last while and the hill near me is sheltering me. No lights flickering just yet here up on the hill:(

The gust appear to be stronger now than at any other time of the day. I'm in Donegal. No sign of any let up yet.

Yeah sounds like local topography coming into play as the wind direction shifts.

I am in Carndonagh in Inishowen,Donegal and its fairly blustery(is that the word) but it seems to be tapering off. Should be well eased off by 7:30 or at least i hope so.... i've got to go to football(outdoor) then.
