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

One girl at work excitedly asked if we were getting a day off if it becomes a red warning. The look of disgust on her face when I told her the storm was due during working hours and as long as she made it in on time for once she would be ok.

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 .

With respect that doesn’t answer me at all and is quite patronising. I have read the forum for the last five years plus. The posters here are very knowledgeable and are worth listening to in addition to the Met Eireann forecasters. I just haven’t been following this event closely because I have a newborn. I know that you can’t tell me what to do, I’m not an idiot.

I didn’t ask if it was going to rain in my back yard. I asked if the storm was coming up from south specifically because a broad time frame yellow warning for the whole country does not necessarily mean that the weather will start being awful in every part of the country at 5am and last the entire way until 1600. This is detailed regularly by many knowledge posters who post about where it will be bad and the approx narrower time frames than the general warnings by Met Eireann. For example MT cranium posted about Dublin this morning I believe. If the storm is moving up from the south then the earlier I go the better and I will make that decision myself. I specifically asked about the south as it seems to have a separate warning. If it’s coming in from the west for example then I’ll stay put until the worst has passed.

Forecast for 06Z tomorrow morning. Diana 966 hPa west of Kerry with a strong gradient but weakening gradient to its southeast. Winds associated with it should be already past the max by the time the worst of it hits the south, but still strong and very gusty.



Winds at 100 metres amsl.

Point taken but as you may be aware when the warnings go up the forum goes mad with posters asking should I do this or that totally causing a mess of weather reporting anyway stay safe out there

Grand. I know. Hence asking if it was coming from the south and not a specific area

According to the one o clock news, it is coming up from the sw, and the south west is going to bear the brunt of this , all the way up the coast, the word dangerous was used, so , get out there and move things to safety

it is happening during nighttime, and until 4 tomorrow evening, hope all will be home and safe tonight

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).

My information says the next storm named by Met Éireann or UK Met Office will still be Deirdre.

We continued with the usual letters after Emma was used last year too.

One upside is that anyone who put up outside Christmas decorations in fecking November might have them relocated. :)

Used a staple gun this year for the roof lights. Mine will be staying put. Spent far too much time last year retrieving them off the roof.:D

GEM hints at the low risk but potential high impact follow on into Thursday AM, a turbulent few days

Met E yet again with the bizarre warning geography - how can Limerick be a yellow warning when it is surrounded by Orange warnings? The wind doesn’t decide to slow down at the ****in county borders

That is the system at the moment. Fact is that no location within the county of Limerick is expected to receive Orange level winds. Whilst some parts (not all) of the counties in the Orange level warning are expected to receive Orange level winds. It is a county based warning system.

Latest max gusts shows Diana making a fairly windy but brief event for South, South West, South east, with some good gusts inland too

Nobody seems to be talking about this storm.

EC delayed by the looks of things!

JanuarySnowstor

System looks quite potent to me on gfs and ukmo. Ok nothing exceptional but certainly a few hours of storm force winds well capable of disruption

Yep, doesn't look a whole lot on the HiRes Arome. Apart from coastal counties in affected areas it's nothing major.

Franz Von Peppercorn

The British met office (the app) indicates that it’s a normal storm they wouldn’t name in the U.K. except the Portuguese did already.

irishfeen

Its nothing major, just hitting the south at wrong time in Cork and Kerry at school hour.

looks like wicklow may be hit if I read it right

Looks like Carlow and Kildare are in line for some of the stronger gusts too as well as Wexford and Wicklow. (Around 11/12 o'clock.)

Icon brings some of the higher gusts more inland.
GFS keeps it to more of a coastal event.
