Yes indeed!
And the highest gust was 54.7kph @ 2pm; at 7pm we had a 53.1kph gust.
You really need to get your anemometer up!

Mine already as high as it will go, on chimney of our bungalow but highest gust so far was 21.9km/h just after 5pm, all be it we are in the lee of the Wicklow Uplands in Ashford.
Yours must be in the jet stream

Latest report:
DUBLIN AIRPORT W22 knots
That's 40kph current average wind run.

Location: Terenure, Dublin
Temp 10.8ºC / DP 9.2ºC
Humidity 89%
Pressure 1019.5 steady
Gust 13.3 km/h (at 3.5m)
Rainfall 0.0mm (1hr); 0.0mm (24hr).
I've indicated my local pressure as steady as it hasn't changed in 6 hours. Maybe the 'steady' is wrong. Can anybody tell me at what time intervals do we consider that the pressure is rising/falling, slowly/rapidly, steady.

If the second story doesn't get the right beaufort measurements, you might consider resurrecting this engineering feat!
