    The trees around here seem to dancing a merry dance here at the moment. Obviously getting all hyped up and excited about the big rave up tonight.

    It's strange to enjoy the sound of a storm, albeit not a big one in Waterford, outside.

    Latest WV. 'Dry slot' quite prominent behind the approaching cold front. You can also see where the occlusion has separated from the jet stream:

    That's Ireland for ya!


    looking out the back window here and I find it strangely beautiful. Ominous heavy sky in the fading eerie midsummer twilight. This is what we are and this is what has shaped us and made us what we are.

    I’d regard it as very breezy here in N Mayo now. Nothing too bad yet. Lights have flickered though.

    Trees in full leaf hitting off power lines is going to be a big problem in this event. A gust of even 100 km/hr will snap branches off. All very interesting and rare replying to a storm thread on June 13th....

    Yes, 2018 has been such a vintage year for weather enthusiasts all around so far and on par with 1947 I'd say though we still have some way to go.

    I do agree that this has a chance to beat the 24 June 1962 gust but even if it doesn't, this goes in the record books if you ask me, just look at Hector below! That's a sting jet if I ever saw one.

    Met Eireann 2319 update 13/6/18

    Becoming stormy overnight in coastal counties of Connacht and Ulster and very windy elsewhere, especially over the northern half of the country. Severe and potentially damaging gusts in northwestern areas as southerly winds veer westerly in direction. Clear spells and showers, heaviest in the north. Lowest temperatures 10 to 13 degrees.

    To be honest, I actually missed the windy weather. I like it when it is windy but sunny.
