Storm Hannah : Fri 26 - Sat 27 April 2019

munsterlegend

Evelyn just said on radio that winds will be of red level on coast of cork and Kerry just not as big as the direct hit on Clare.

So basically Kerry and Cork coasts will dip into red territory but not get the warnings? That is what she said.

Thanks for sharing but....

Could they not steam it to Youtube directly and then it would handle the bandwidth

Rain just starting in cork city now

Not raining here yet but not too far away by the looks of things. Wind is getting stronger and stronger though it now seems we in Cork may escape the worst of it, those of us inland anyway.

Ah yeah forgot about that one, it's normally fairly stable actually. Now better stock up on some fuel and close shed doors!

Raining a bit in galway just now. Not massively breezy but I don’t know if that’ll be the case for long...

I think the alert is reasonable.
Everyone is talking red which covers Met Eireann and they are only naming one county so if it's not too bad they are also covered.
I would have included Kerry too though.
The reason Cork isn't red is because the wind will be offshore and as she said on radio orange is also a serious warning

Thought it was more Kerry and Galway (she mentioned Connemara)

It looks like more counties as in south Leinster should be Orange.

I'm on a hill facing the northwest so this is not ideal, sticking out like a sore thumb tonight.

Fantastic info on this thread. Glad to be seeing it move away from Cork a bit (the east at least). Any idea of what the aftermath in the morning will be? The usual weather sites are showing a pleasant enough morning tomorrow. Or will there be lingering gusts for a while?

Christ we've more posts about the warning system than the actual storm!

Give it a rest please!

Given the storm profile has shifted north on the latest guidance I find it very surprising that there is no warning in place for Co. Dublin. I would expect to see yellow level winds?

So are times of arrival like this?

Munster 4pm Severe Winds 7 to 9pm
Galway 5pm Severe Winds 8 to 10pm
Mayo Sligo 9pm Severe Winds 11pm on

Evelyn definitely did also include the Cork coastline in her comments.

It is according to where from you are driving, yellow, red or orange zone,

Southerly winds should be increasing from now on in the south west. Its when the winds veer West/North west they will pack a punch around 6pm.

JanuarySnowstor

Going by latest model guidance the storm has not moved further North. It's just Clare has a western shoreline which will be more exposed to violent gusts. The whole southwest is at risk Inc Cork and Waterford....In fact a slight nudge South and Clare will be flat calm and Cork and Kerry will be worst. I think maybe they should get rid of naming a county and stick to a geographical spread. Why not say the exposed southwest is red and not name any counties

I’d be worried if I had to go anywhere near Tipperary storm or no storm.

Those NW winds at the back really packing a punch.

Potentially turn into a red for a lot more counties?

Satellite cloud-top temperature imagey suggests a stingjet has formed during the past two hours. Will this mean the peak strength will have occured before the main core reaches Kerry and Clare later? We'll see...

Looks like a drive along Black head isn't recommended so.

It'll be a howler for sure, im wondering is it safe to drive along between Ballyvaughan and Lisdoon
