North Clare: gotten dark here afain as another band of cloud is moving in. I expect it'll pass and we'll start getting into more gradual showers.

My brother was just on phone to me and he said west Dublin is breezy but no rain yet. Are they likely to get the squally front or will it lose its power before hitting the east coast? Update from north sligo.... breezy with strong gusts. Some specks of rain in the wind but nothing out of the ordinary yet.

Serious rain here in mayo. I drove from Ballaghadreen to Clatemorris in a van and it was crazy stuff. The van is stopped now but is bouncing up and down with the wind. Deffo no flights into knock. I drove past the approach lights at the end if the runway and u could hardly make them out.

Flight from Liverpool just landed, its not quite that bad ...

Clamball

Very heavy rain here in Fermoy, beating against the window. Not too windy in comparison to other places.

111 km/h gust recorded at Cork Airport at 3pm. These winds are convective gusts being dragged down by the intense rain. The "main event" wind won't be starting until closer to 5pm on the west coast.

My WS caught that at 49km/h @ 15:04 I'm sheltered, and that would be a very high wind catch for my WS.
