    Very windy here in Cork right now (based on the noise above my house which is located on an exposed hill just north of cork city). Seems worse than anything in the past week.

    Tomorrow morning looks worrying for cork / kerry.

    Heeello sudden weather. Was totally calm at ground level in SW Galway (tops of trees were swaying) until about a minute ago when a howl started up and gusts started shunting Eleanir's debris around. It was as abrupt as Eleanor's arrival, if less dramatic.

    Although another shaker like that last gust and I might reconsider the dramatics.

    Very noisy and windy outside at moment -- direction seems different to the storms of the last few days -- more of the usual SW I think - just judging by which end of the house seems noisiest.

    I'd be surprised if this doesn't get named by UKMO at the least, could bring very strong gusts to a lot of North Wales and the English Midlands.

    Not clear how naming is done for this type of system (twin lows in the same system).

    Note: there's another low heading our way middle of next week (2017-01-09) according to https://earth.nullschool.net/#2018/01/09/0000Z/wind/isobaric/850hPa/overlay=mean_sea_level_pressure/orthographic=-18.62,61.51,684/loc=3.995,29.144 which I suspect will be named in due course. New thread?

    Wind speed has really ramped up in the last hour and a half.

    Moderate rainfall but made worse by winds

    Gusts in excess of 40 Knots and coming from the NW - due to local topography.

    130 m asl

    North Cork / Limerick / Tipperary border

    Hi, I'm in west Waterford, on the coast, about 200ft asl, and the wind this morning is FIERCE. Unless I'm experiencing something very localised, this has been under-warned. At the moment, and since about 0630, this is keep-away-from-windows stuff. neighbours fence already down, my dog is whimpering in a corner of the kitchen, and there's no way I'm leaving the house right now.
