Tide in Wexford Harbour is 1.3m above predicted height at the moment. 3 hours before high tide there.

How is the Lee looking in Cork?

Cork harbour. Still quite windy and gusty, but definite moderate drop off in intensity.

Authorities shutting Wexford Quays tonight apparentely

very high rain/wind in kildare at the moment but the main problem seams to be a lot of run off surface water from Saturated fields onto the roads causing a lot of floods on backroads ect......nasty night ahead,good luck all out in cyber land!!!!!!while you have power that is......

Speak Now

60kts recorded at Waterford airport.

Just passed the river lee and its just starting slightly on south terrace. 2 hours away from high tide and the water is only about 20mins from flooding

Ye need that.Nice of him to stay close to keep a look out for you.In this weather these people would want to learn to keep distance from ALL other road users,be it cars,trucks,bikes,cyclists and pedestrians and to expect any thing to happen.Unfortunatly I don't think they will ever cop on.Obviously to them being 3 feet behind you will get them there quicker than being 20 feet behind.

Found a recent pic of the Lee. Looking high. Only saving grace is that the sustained winds are gradually reducing. Won't be enough to stop flooding though.

Winds have decreased at DUB airport the last while. I see Cork isn't showing any recent gusts either?

That's hardly it?

Harps

Nothing remotely stormy on the met reports tonight, highest gust only 49kts and Mace Head is the only station at gale force, I know the wind was never forecast as particularly severe but I still expected it to be windier. Flooding os obviously the main risk as the night goes on if the reports from Cork and Wexford are anything to go by

I was on the DART there about an hour ago and past Dun Laoghaire, I thought a body went under the train and later I thought we were going through a tunnel but we were nowhere near one. I was being spanked by the wind on the walk home.

Winds have peaked in the southwest now but won't peak until later tonight on southeast and east coasts.

TextureLikeSun

Just outside gorey-Winds steadily increasing here all evening and rain is belting down. Kids are finding the sound of the wind quite scary earphones all round here me thinks!

Due to the set up of the stations we don't have any official Met stations near the east coast.

We have recent 60kt gusts at Waterford Airport and Dun Laoghaire Harbour, on forecast.

Very windy here in Fethard, Co Tipp - constant very strong winds, and power outage. Rain just about to ease off I think
