I think other areas should be added to the thread title. Derry for ex, much of NI and especially the North coast

Spring Onion

I tried to bring my dog outside 15 minutes ago, she was having none of it!
Went out myself for a walk. Squally alright.

Yeah that's normal in windy conditions, that's fairly light turbulence, it can be a lot worse.

Can you back that up Cuddled? You are on here just to try to annoy others with your barbed deliberate trolling comments.

What part of winds not picking up in the East till later tonight are you not understanding. Don't know how many more time people like Maq have to post it.

Sure it might not be that bad, or get that bad overnight, but people just glancing at these threads seeing posts like you have been putting up for the last while, could just accept that as fact and head out early in the morning thinking it'll be grand and windless without disruption.

It doesn't take a huge wind to be a nuisance for travel. Stop telling people it's over when it's not. I believe Weathercheck posted time of something like 6-11am for peak strength in the East. How strong the peak will be, who knows, but it isn't over.

That's a crazy assumption unless you are living in the Azores, the main storm has barely hit us yet.

What are you reading you're not too far away. It's normally quite accurate for pressure,.
Wind no - height to low
Temp. not secluded enough.
Rainfall once I got the slugs out of it after 82 days of no rain working fine , Anemometer, need a new one, magnets a bit twitchy.

The wind has suddenly picked up in Clondalkin. The rain is pelting against the window!
