    Very warm and very quiet in west Dublin at the moment, bar some wind a while ago. It doesn't look like there will be much else weather-wise. I'm sure the rain, if any, for this neck of the woods would have hit by now.

    ME radar suggest that the cloud is drifting eastwards. Wind has picked up somewhat too here in north county Dublin. I'd say on balance that we wont have storm unfortunately.

    Copped something on the flighradar app. Incoming flights into Dublin are being routed over the north county and towards trim and onto a westerly approach to the airport. It looks like they are avoiding routing anything over the South county and Kildare. Perhaps that area could be in the firing line?

    Change of runway, however one flight went way out west to avoid, RYR36QD from BCN-DUB went out as far as Mullingar/ Longford to avoid cells/CB's to the east

    Yep, my bad. Does look like a runway switch. I don't know whether they are going to 16 or 28 though?
