Pity I'm not in Ireland, looks like an hour or two of storm force winds (or very close to it) on the more exposed Dublin coast...impact bout 1/2am I'd say

Wind picking up significantly here now. Will be few trees and lots of branches down in the morning.

Is this the main heavy band of rain over the east coast now or is there more to come.

Some models hint at the development of a squall line at the back of the front just before it clears east. Around 3-6am.

Very rough in cork now

Just opened the flight radar app. There are 4 planes approaching cork airport at the moment. The Aer Lingus from Amsterdam is on it's second attempt to land.

Light wind gusts and little rain in Co. Dublin swords at the moment. It looks like we will have a big gap from the rainfall for a while.

How's Belfast looking? Easy jet aborted landing and headed to Scotland!

very strong gusts cork city.south

Pretty ferocious in south county Cork. Its the severe gustiness of the wind that is striking. Very quiet for a minute or so and then - wham!

All these planes landed safely.

Totally agree..gusts have definitely caught my attention along with my swaying 60 ft trees.

Very windy here in Roachestown in Cork.

Past through Douglas around 8 and the surface water was building, must be bad now.

I'm not making this up (why would I?) but nothing more than a gentle breeze here.

South Wexford
Very strong winds. Bin blown over...thank God rubbish is bagged in it. Moved both bins into shed.

Just walked dog. Difficult to stand in wind. Raining but not lashing.

Some gusts are actually frightening!!

Windy on the south coast with strong gusts, rattling the roof tiles, but so far (fingers crossed) we've seen stronger.
Near kinsale on the south coast, the rain has eased and the wind sounds quite 'high' that the wind gusts could be stronger just over our heads.
If that makes any sense.
Hopefully it wont grow any stronger.

SpaceTime

Absolutely howling wind in Cork City at the moment. Recycling bins blowing all over the place unfortunately !

i'm dreading going down stairs and looking out the back.

Met Eireann wind obs for 10pm at Cork airport are interesting. 24 kts gusting to 56 kts. Rarely do you actually see the gust speed more than twice the wind speed. That's probably more potentially damaging than slightly higher wind speeds with lower gustiness. Not good for landing planes. It must have been quite a ride for those on board.

Latest forecast.

Most areas wet and very windy tonight, with south to southeast winds gusting 90 to 100 km/h. and up to 120 km/h. in exposed coastal areas. The worst affected areas will continue to be along exposed southern coasts during the early part of tonight and later along eastern coasts with severe gusts likely. The rain will clear the west shortly and the clearance will extend to remaining areas later with the winds moderating and veering westerly. However showers will follow from the Atlantic, especially heavy in the northwest by morning.

A clearance here near Tralee now after 22.2mm of rain, . Wind has literally died down to an avg of 8 kph from an avg of 40 kph ( highest gust 60 kph ).Wind beginning to veer to the SW. I presume in a warm sector now with temp having risen to it's highest today of 14.4C.
