Cork Airport TAF updated at 11am forecasting gusts up to 55knots early tomorrow morning. This of course could change up or down in later TAF's.

After turning out to be a nice day in cork city. Slightly windy sure but blue sky with some clouds. Not bad, until Diana comes

Gaoth Laidir

The next named storm will begin with E. Which name will depend on which agency names it, but the current status (as described by Evelyn Cusack at the excellend IMS Sailing Weather conference in Dun Laoghaire last Friday) is a joint agreement between Ireland, UK, Spain, Portugal, France and I think the Danish and Swedish. Any one of those can name a storm and the others will use it (though she did say that the Danish Met didn't want to use Bronagh as it was too strange).

Flores Açores airport reported a gust of 54 knots a while ago. Seems to have died down now. The IPMA don't have any stations reporting on those westernmost islands, which is annoying.

Is this coming in from the south? Due to travel from mayo to North Kildare tomorrow with two little ones and trying to decide what time is best with the warning going 500-1600. We cant leave it until after as it’s way too late. Would I be best legging it at 7 when they wake?

With respect no one here can tell you what to do, its your decision based on the weather forecast not what a board member might advise you to do, this is what happens every time Amber or Red comes up. The important thing to remember is you and your family's safety so take care .

Lovely day in Galway now and seems quite mild.

Burts Bee

Yeah, cloudy but mild, no rain or wind. North Cork. Pissing rain and house vibrating early this morning though!

Gonzo

really awful day here at Dunshaughlin. Heavy rain, dark skies, lights and heating on.

Any chance this will upgrade to an Amber or red tomorrow? Really hope not.

It is an amber warning for now , with it likely to stay that for the duration of the storm , keep an eye on forecasts
