    That's mountaintop winds. But I did spot a 161 kph at sea level just north of Malin Head, though!

    In fairness, you didn't specify which level the winds should be in the post I replied to ;)

    The ARPEGE has highest mean winds of 75 knots and max gusts of 99 knots north of Malin Head Wednesday afternoon. Prone to overdoing it in windstorms but with the ECM pointing in that general direction it will be interesting to watch reports from Donegal Airport, Malin Head and the Hebrides. Definite stingjet signals.

    The newspapers already confusing people. The journal is reporting that the yellow warning for wind is for the tail end of Helene this Wednesday! :/

    The name Helene has been thrown around a fair bit over the last few days, so it's just easier to go with that.

    Anything else thrown in the mix, unless significant, is more confusing for the majority reader.

    Let's make a pact on here not to quote or be in any way concerned about how 'newspapers' are reporting on this potential. Media companies have no interest in raw facts and are not motivated by concern for society at large nor are they following any moral compass. They are driven solely by profit and they can publish horse **** like this on daily basis (not just on weather, but on many topics) because they are largely unaccountable.

    but you see the ploughing is on this week so they ain't gonna call a weather warning untill last minute in case it dissipates and they end up getting sued for loss of earnings or some such

    One thing we never really got a good read on last year was whether Met Eireann had any rules around separation of individual storm naming - as in, do they just merge the effects of one into the other if they're less than 24 hours apart.

    I'll just leave this here, if you're in Donegal, might be time to anchor yourself to the nearest solid object.

    A better night than was expected as the wind eased .
    Still rumbling away.

    Was expecting to see a stronger alert, but as others have said, all seems casual and blase.

    I'm surprised how little coverage this is getting. Can't see the ploughing being much fun tomorrow.

    Flying from Shannon early tomorrow, looks like it'll either be a bumpy takeoff or none at all!

    Just cant wait to use the Storm name.........

    If theres going to be a "Storm" , why has the local radio station (in the s.east) just said 'sunny day with some rain showers in the afternoon with a clearing in the evening, with some blustery wind"
    :confused::rolleyes:
