Some pretty powerful gusts here in Clare. Bricking it as old roof and a few of the tiles not so great..... Hope stays intact. It is as red here as ever was a red.

I went out to the car earlier, and im serious now..

I heard a sound off that wind which I never heard from a wind before.

It was an angry violent sound, a like get back into your house you silly man

A colleague was on tonight’s Dublin-Farranfore flight, which got cancelled. They put passengers on a coach instead. You would have to wonder if that is such a great idea with all the stay off the roads warnings around.

Sure the whole journey as far as adare is peppered in big trees, they should have put then up for the night

That’s exactly how I described Ophelia in Cork, it was a very angry ominous sound high in the sky

I read that as ha ha, landed here... and assumed you had landed on a Ryanair flight somewhere.

Some serious wind here in wexford now atm

Cork Boy 53, here's those max wind gusts for April at Cork stations I promised. Keep in mind, Roches Point's data here is not its complete records as I have data available only back to 1956 whilst it has recorded data back to the 19th century.

Interesting how 17 April 2013 appears in both, didn't think that period was that windy but stats show differently. Maybe a post on it sometime in the stats thread?

Getting much worse here in very South Tipp - rainy and the wind fairly howling, only about 7 C at the moment. Rotten night to be out!!

Gaoth Laidir

Shannon Airport metar gust (measured in preceding 10 minutes) was 58 knots at 21Z. We'll see what the hourly max gust will be in the synop.

RobertKK

5.4C here (Kilkenny hills) with a wind chill now at -0.1C, winds gusting to 63km/h at the moment.

MidMan25

Some savage gusts now in East Cork, really picking up.

Dank Janniels

I know the title says Munster but whats the latest for Galway? Orange warning for coastal +Connemara areas? Or will it spread east over night. Píssíng rain in north east of the county all evening

This gust makes it the highest wind gust for April at Shannon since 1960 and the third highest on record (again for April) back to 1945.

Dogs are on edge here in North Cork, it is getting stronger.

Third highest Shannon during April or third highest Shannon?
Surely not the latter?

Pretty windy with some severe gusts at my location outside Limerick City on the Tipperary side. Not the worst storm so far. Power still on.

Unreal here at the moment in South Limerick, a big tree down on road blocking access to our nearest village
