Getting lashed out of it here in north meath at the minute, Rain is unbelievable.

Worth keeping an eye on the webcam at Salthill. Waves just starting to show now and still a good 2 hours away from high tide.

Really wild in cork city at the moment. It goes from an eerie calm to pounding rain.

Faustino · 06-01-2014 7:40am

Water getting onto the road now in Salthill!

Got a squall with some gale force wind near Limerick City about half hour ago. We are getting a near gale sustained wind but no severe gusts.

Very windy here in Dublin all of a sudden.

stevek93 · 06-01-2014 8:11am

Raining quite heavily as well, hopefully it claims down in next hour as I've to walk to college.

Fitzo · 06-01-2014 8:27am

Got quite windy here in Sligo for a while but it's quiet again now

Relatively quiet in Sligo, beaufort scale 5 with the occasional gust up to 6, not sustained, and for once it was mostly a tailwind for me:) Patches of rain, it stayed dry on my way in though.

Just about to head to the quay Ed. Will get pics of Methodist church too.

All the decent cams are down now. The La Hinch one has a maximum of 10 users before it reaches capacity. What use is that?!

From the last i saw, it looks like it's well short of last weeks levels. Which is a good thing i suppose

Tactical · 06-01-2014 9:40am

It got readonsbly windy in West Limerick a couple of hours ago.

Nothing too crazy but enough to wake me up.

Nice and calm here now. Patchy cloud cover.

A bit disappointed that the spell of windy weather is coming to an end for now as it has made the Christmas period more interesting than usual.

When are the massive waves out in the Atlantic due to arrive at Irish shores???

Tactical · 06-01-2014 9:56am

Nasty looking shower approaching me from the South West. Very dark looking indeed. Wonder if any thunder potential today for West Limerick.

There is.

maquiladora · 06-01-2014 10:05am

Just looking at waves at the buoys and they don't match up with the forecasted wave heights so hopefully there won't be any significant coastal flooding.

DOCARCH · 06-01-2014 10:07am

Reports coming in now of flooding in Cork City centre in the usual low lying spots (South Terrace, South Mall, etc.).

Storm 10 · 06-01-2014 10:09am

The sea has came over the prom at Salthill again in the past hour, roads closed car parks flooded, the sea literlally rose up and came over the sea wall, we have had a lot of lightning during the night and this morning.
