Kinsale still very windy and has been all evening, gusting 64 knots(73 MPH) at 11pm.

It's a 100-metre platform out in the open sea so it's not surprising.

not sure i said it was surprising , just posting the observation

Serious wind in greystones, stronger than Doris and really loud. Listening to corrugated sheets being thrown around the garden, can't wait to see the mess in the morning.

JESUS AND MARY AND HOLY SAINT JOSEPH....

To my untrained but accustomed ears etc this is worse than Doris.

The "gusts" are longer and far more sustained, as if that gives them greater force. Things are flying out there.

Cottage is vibrating.

West Connemara 400 ft asl, or at least I was.

Serious wind here in South Dublin . Way worse than Doris this time. I can hear the roof tiles shaking .

Please do not go out in this! I have a very vivid imagination ;) Just opened the door here as cat thought he wanted out ( !!) and things have moved.

Poltergeist stuff; it even slammed shut the bathroom window; faces north

Met Eireann on Radio 1 there "huge contrasts over the country tonight ,calm over ulster with storm force gusts further south" . "cold and unsettled over the weekend"

Meteorite; one of the maps shows a wind of 104 here?

It was a wild, wild night indeed. Thankfully eased now although still inhospitable out there.

Did I sleep through it all or did this not affect some areas at all?

Interesting thought indeed;)

The back mountains have a slight elegant dusting of white and there were the prettiest of pink clouds peeping over the more northerly ones.

Must commend the builders here as even the fragile looking roof on the fuel bay is still intact .

Nothing to report after midnight in East Galway anyway bar one heavy shower that woke me briefly

Darwin

Got very gusty during the showers last night (West Laois), I heard a noise like the electricity meter door slamming against our outside wall around 9.30pm. Went out to find it locked, and no sign of anything loose. Got seriously windy around 3am but whatever was loose didn't reoccur, very strange - might have been roof tiles who knows...

According to 'Evoke', Met Éireann has issued another weather warning for today. What I want to know is why all weather warnings issued in tabloids are always accompanied by photos of women struggling with umbrellas?
This one has two, just in case we didn't get the message the first time.







:rolleyes:

And they didn't even issue any warning today, the one from last night expires in 3 minutes.

Surely this deserves a 'girl with umbrella' warning..?
