    Looking pretty grim, check out VentuSky.

    Reports of 42 foot waves off the south coast of Ireland, stay safe M8s.

    Hurricane Ophelia is now transitioning into an extra-tropical cyclone as it loses its notable eyewall.
    We have put together a graphic giving people a rough idea of what kind of wind to expect and when to expect it.
    We recommend making any necessary preparations for the storm now. Also check in with eldery neighbours to see if they need any help. Contact your local council if you are in an area prone to storm surge and enquire about sandbags.
    We advise against making journeys by road during peak storm conditions.

    All the Schools and Colleges in Cork City and the County are closed.

    Aer Lingus flights to and from Cork Airport are canceled.

    Dont swim in the sea, dont make unnecessary journeys.

    Cork City Tides: High Water is at 1600 (4pm) tomorrow. The wind is WSW so it could be much worse, however, it might be worth avoiding low lying areas for a few hrs either side of 1600.

    I suspect town will be very quiet tomorrow - several businesses are closed already. It might be worth ringing your office/business before going in.....

    With a bit of luck, we'll avoid the worst of this, but let's not take any un-necessary chances. Stay safe! :-)

    There isn't, it's calm out.

    This report gives an idea of the times things are gonna heat up.

    Just back from town, pretty quiet there. It was a bit breezy but nothing special but looks to have gotten a *lot* stronger in the last few mins.

    Got an unexpected day off as UCC has shut everything, heard from a few friends they've been told to work from home ('til the power goes!).

    Very bad now in Douglas / turners cross area here. High tide is around 3 o'clock. Is there a possibility of flooding in inner city areas?
