Potential Stormy Conditions 21st-23rd May

Harps

Gust up to 91.8km/hr at my local station, I'm 100m above it and in a more exposed location so probably over 100km/hr now, impressive considering I'm about 30km from the coast. A few branches snapped but the trees are still standing in the garden

Can everyone state their location, if it isn't mentioned in their profile, otherwise the reports are meaningless.


It's the unbroken sunshine that makes this so odd. It's now a beautiful day except for the 50 mph wind !.


Some nice live data here for those in the West. The wind is shifting from SW to W

It's been mental out here in Blanch, Dublin 15 for the past 3 hours.

Pangea

Heard on the radio that there are lots of powercuts around Co.Donegal and also telephone lines down. There was a 40 foot lorry blocking a road in Doochary. Not sure what happened with that.

There are a few small trees down in my estate in Galway city. But there is a large tree down in the carpark where i work. Looks like a few more could possibly go. Park wisely so!

North County Dublin. Just South of Balbriggan.
10mns ago. quite possibly the strongest gust I have ever heard/felt. Really thought a window was gonna give. Tired of picking up the bins at this stage.

Extremely stormy here in SE Co. Sligo, between Riverstown and Geevagh with squally showers. No damage but lots of branches down in the back garden and leaves everywhere.

Also experiencing power surges which knocks my electric off. Check your trip switches if you're having problems.

Stay safe!

Another wind non event here in Waterford. Average 22km/h, max gust only 50km/h at 8.30am. Some huge numbers in other parts of the country though. A major storm for lots.

Edit, A gust of 98.2km/h recorded at Dublin Airport

Pangea

The car is covered in salt water here, gusts coming straight in from the sea. Dangerous day to be out.

These lows rarely swing far enough south to make it an event down here.

Particularly vicious here last 30 minutes.

Decent sized tree down up the road.

Few hanging on for dear life.

The wind seems to be at its peak here now. A couple of trees down so far.

Extremely windy. Some very strong gusts. One of our trees in the garden is split in two.

Lightning here now too, just had a power surge that knocked everything off and has wiped my weather station data :mad:

Thats true Maq. Just thought on this occasion with the set up and widespread gales predicted that the max gust would be higher than 50km/h. Should have trusted my instinct and not get to excited

No, but it was a nice tree all the same
I planted some new ones about two weeks ago. They haven't had a break from the wind since! Not sure if they'll make it past today
