Would have to say it is officially 'Windy' here in my experience of this location, quite consistent strong winds. So perhaps we might get something.

Still some hours from the likely peak here in the east near 10am.

do the passengers know they are in one of those patterns for a half hour even more?

Yeah I think the pilots announce it. My sister said she was anxious coz she was so close and yet, so far away!

When is the west's peak ?

In Galway it's windy/very windy. There are very sustained winds that don't sound worryingly strong along with a few intense gusts here and there.

M6 back online at midnight and showing gusts very close to the sea surface @ 66kts.

I would suggest peak for Galway near 6am.

Could be quite abrupt tightening of the gradient as secondary low centres move onto west coast.

Sleet/rain coming in practically horizontally in cavan.

I intend to be fast asleep when the Big Wind arrives over Leinster at 6am and onwards!

Night all, and Happy Christmas.

Enjoyed the thread.

max wind of 70knot less likely

Am just north of cork city and temp is 2 deg. Just blustery at the mo. Willing to stay up if we were in for snow and storm but will go to bed otherwise. What will I do?

Its gotten really windy here in West Cork in the last 30 mins.

Until the bottom finger of the more southerly circulation hits the west coast, i really do not think we can be sure of windspeeds, i do hope the M6 updates in next few hours as in crucial position.

Bedtime, happy listening in the morning

Some strong gusts now in Kerry mixed with hail. Meant to fly out in the morning to London, hopefully it won't be too bad.

Latest sea area forecast :

Meteorological situation at 2100: An extensive and complex depression in mid-Atlantic has generated several rapidly deepening secondary depressions that will be close to Ireland over the next 24 hours. 

squonk

N Clare: Very gusty now in hail showers. About as bad here as last weeks storm at the moment. Cold. Things not so bad between showers.

Told everyone this was going to be Armageddon, not solely based on this thread but ME and other sites, (goes to work with head down tomorrow)

Is flight radar accurate . Why is the plane center top of Ireland doing there?

Agreed. Although it is very calm here at the moment. possibly the calm before all hell breaks out.

Pretzill

It's the weirdest sort of weather. The wind seems to be circling - gusty - then distant - then calm. Rain then sleet - warm then all of a sudden chilly - I'm a novice weather follower but it's kind of tropical - is that to do with the lows?

South Sligo

Oh and do get heady in low pressure but haven't got the snow pain yet.

kerrycork13

Anyone witnessing snow as this storm approaches yet and where if so?
