Storm Brian : Orange Wind Warning Sat 21 -10-17

hatrickpatrick · 2017-10-16 16:27:29

Didn't want to post this in either of the Ophelia threads given how serious the situation is and the need to focus on current conditions, but the ECM has picked up on a currently developing tropical cyclone off the US coast, currently designated as Invest 92-L, which it develops into a system with hurricane force winds and…

I don't remember having so many storms in the 80's or 90's.

I remember well a run of very bad storms during the winters between 88 to 91.

It's been raining almost constantly for 12 or 14 hours here in kerry. Surely problems with flooding inevitable. Reports of road closures. Rathmore to barraduff, etc.

Conditions from Brian had calmed after 12.00 pm. Although windy Sun came out briefly. Thought we were in for a few hours of a regular Autumn day and even thought I might get a bit of clean up work done outside - however the wind has risen again and is gusting with heavy rain from the SW.

Of note presure had dropped to 964 aporox 7 hours ago and has now risen 16 to 980 hpa.

Boom being deployed by the Army near Spanish Arch Galway

Reckon they were in the wrong place ...

Reading the reports and comments in this thread - is it safe to say that Brian's approach was further south than that detailed on last nights Orange Warning and didn't impact Mayo and Galway as predicted?

Not windy though? I don't often use the words "nice" and "windy" in the one sentence.

Definitely windy in Dublin, relatively speaking. It’s occasionally sunny, lots of blue skies around, but very much not a “nice” day by any stretch. Lots of misty rain blowing about, and lots of convective showers passing through.

No, forecast to head a bit north of us and die out before it reaches here.
