I think that is a good point Nacho. A relatively long storm system but Belmullet has yet to beat its jan 2009 record of 96knots. I think Claremorris might have beaten its jan 09 record though by a few knots but haven't looked at the records.

110 mph!. It' terrible, but I can't recall that at all. I wonder what the pressure reading for the depression that caused it was? Also what was its track?

Left work at EIDW and decided to drive around the airfield on the way home,fecking huge gusts blowing across it. Ditto much of the M50,my motorbike was all over the road!!

Still blowing hard out there at the moment with sporadic showers.

Dublin 15 here and things are getting a bit hairy out there now. The windows in my apartment are whistling away and the door is rattling away too. Crossing the bridge over the N3 as a pedestrian was interesting to say the least!

Winds picking up more here in Maynooth as well.

Will tomorrow morning's ferry crossings to Britain be cancelled??

Chicken Run

Power going on and off in East Clare, periods of calm then big gusts. Rain has eased though...

Non event down here. Last night was far worse.

Harps

Calmed down here in the past while but still sustained winds of 80kph and gusts of up to 125kph according to Met Eireann. Rain has finally become lighter thankfully

Thanks paddy1:)

It's still very gusty here by the way. This storm isn't keen to let go.

I must say I thought it would be a lot worse for the Northwest.
When the reporter on rte news was asked was there much damage in Galway he kinda said erm eh 'not really'. In other words a violent storm with little damage, whereas in reality the winds weren't excessive.
I think it's a draw between whether 'we' or the 'met' called it right.
We were pbly ott and the Met were too conservative

I'm surprsied though because the gradient looks really tight, maybe it's the fact that the rain had passed thru and were relying on gusty showers.
So in summary of course a stormy day, just nothing exceptional!

up for anything

RUN... TSUNAMI.... don't look back.


Had wild wind earlier in Kilkenny but not constantly. We even had lots of blue sky at times. There is a tree down in my neighbours garden - not a huge one but big enough. Lots of debris on the streets where there are trees lining the road.

North Dublin weather is very odd 2 or 3 huge gusts then nothing for a few mins then more huge gusts!!!

What were you expecting it to be like? We've had winds above 80kph and gusts above 100kph all day and its still going yet. There was also about 6 hours of torrential rain which has caused a lot of flooding

Thats basically what was predicted..
