Delays starting to pour in here in Dublin airport,I'm guessing something big is on the way

All incoming flights in last 30 minutes diverted to Shannon, Shannon too busy now so flights going to Manchester. Wouldn't like to be trying to get to Dublin & ending up in Manchester!

Really really gusty here in Belfast - just saw people being blown all over the place outside the local shopping centre. Also two people injured and a car damaged by a pallet that came from one of the shops - one has a bad cut to the head and the other a suspected broken arm. Not pretty.

Cork airport would be happy to have the extra passengers:)

Passenger numbers were down last year

Send them all to Cork

It's currently raining sleet where I am in south Louth. Huge flakes mixed in but they're melting fairly quickly though.

Red warning is no longer listed on met.ie
Orange warnings in effect.
Limerick city centre looked a bit ominous for a while but has nicer than average weather for this time of year at the moment.

getting very dark in Dublin now

Here in north Kildare (near Enfield), the band of precip has arrived. All I can say that this is by far the worst of the stormy weather here. garden furniture from one of the neighbours is sitting in the middle of the garden. 15 minutes ago, the temp was 5.7c. It is now 2.9 and still falling. Very heavy sleet now has a lot of wet snow mixed in. If it where another degree or so colder, it would be a full on blizzard.....massive gust has just blown over 3 wheelie bins at the same time. TV unwatchable as the dish is moving too much.

Breezy on Dun Laoghaire pier right now.
Fresh mackarel in the shop nonetheless.

Annnnd I'm delayed. Crazy out here in Dublin airport,planes are rocking like mad when parked.

The long awaited Dublin Armageddon has finally arrived!

Grown quiet at last in s Sligo. Sun is fighting to come out. I've just been out to check the land no trees down thankfully! And thanks to all you weather people here for the updates during the storm. It was good to be prepared.

I was expecting a fall in temperatures behind the occlusion but temperatures have actually risen, Malin, Newport, Finner, Mace Hd, Belmullet are all on 7c making them the mildest parts of the country.
