Any idea what it might be like around Loughrea/Galway City tomorrow at roughly 1-3pm? Hoping the winds will have died down...

Looks like 12 - 1:30 will be the worst of it.

I thought it was Orange warning nationwide? no?

No, it's just for the coastal counties. I'm in the orange zone as from now. I just went outside and I definitely heard a faint rustle of leaves in the trees.:eek:
I know I should be scared but I'm brave and resilient. I'm determined to get through this.:rolleyes:

Ryanair flight FR1349 to Shannon was in a holding pattern at Shannon and decided to divert to Cork, got far as Grenagh and made a sudden turn up to Dublin.

Choppy flight I’d say.

I can’t tell the difference between the two forums.got a bollocking for offering the real weather heads a trampoline for sale.was throwing in a half bag of borrowed beach sand to weigh her down and all to sweeten the deal.
Two titles are the same.

If you can gauge the speed and direction of the wind correctly you could get your trampoline delivered for nothing...................I'm not sure about the bag of sand though.;)

Has anyone a formula for how many wheelie bins will fit under a trampoline?

Sound.

Logged in just to thank this post

Edit : to add to the discussion, very wild wind here in Limerick City in the last 20/30 minutes. It's lovely to be tucked up listening to it!

I think this storm is hyped up by the media to the last. nothing major only a mild gust. Darwin was a storm.

bassy

its brewing up in north kk with wind and rain started about 30 mins ago.

I wouldn't want to be out in it, but it's not too awful here, despite being south-facing onto the sea. On the other hand, I think it's still mostly south of us still? South coast of co Galway

Wind definitely picked up about a 40 mins to an hour ago here. Plenty rain with it. It will be interesting to see the highest wind readings for around here. Markree castle, outside Sligo is my nearest met Eireann recording station. Stay safe folks.

Wind is horsing along in Dublin 9. Couldn't imagine it being safe out there at all now. Seems to be worse than Ophelia was, most likely due to direction.

Ultimate Seduction

Bigger winds have passed through the cheeks of my arse!
