Just reread the marine warnings and tonight will be ...ah well! Nothing to do but thole it ( Old Yorkshire word for a kind of stoical endurance especially re bad weather

Ironic that I left the North Sea island nearly 20 years ago to get away from weather like this...

When I posted the above. the sun was trying to emerge. Now a sudden battling of hail and the sky is like evening. It changes like quicksilver

And here comes the rain in cork city.

SlowBlowin

Its very strange here, so still and calm, yet I look at the esb map and just 10 km north of here its obviously windy with all the outages.

Here nothing so far - thank god.

The area of strong winds that will effect Kerry this evening.

ECM 06Z showing slightly lower wind speeds since last run. A small nudge N of the main core and it would bring more of the strong winds into Kerry.


First chart are Mean wind speeds

Very gusty here now in South Co Limerick

Sundew

It’s gone black dark here in Sth Galway and violently gusty.Starting to rain heavily! Boards in attic rattling! That never happens. Ash tree branches in garden are bending right over and touching the ground. It’s being windy all morning but nothing to suggest anything major, but definitely it’s changed in the last ten minutes. Thanks for updates on here. Stay safe everyone👍

Very run of the mill windy day here in West Mayo, so far,Not so sure we will see anything noteworthy here in Mayo, the strongest of the winds are to our southwest and later a second batch in the northwest,personally gusts of 120kmh do not interest me,pity was looking foward to a good storm, a long time now since weve had a proper violent storm in Mayo.


The worst storms seem to either hit the northwest from say sligo northwards or down into the south west and along the south coast.




strange how consistently wrong and useless the models have been lately.


hopefully Tuesday storm can deliver something.


of course if it all changes in the next few hours i shall get the camera out.

Just seen that... Not surprised after the earlier warnings.

Super-Rush

Some ferocious gusts all morning ending in a shower of heavy rain turning to soft hail, then to heavy sleet and back to rain. Now it's calm with blue skies.

Wish they would mark the areas when making the marine alerts, tourists and not everyone can name these areas off the top of their heads.

Do not omit to close the curtains. I am serious; when things start flying it can save from injuries. All closed here.. Cat in? Dog fed extra?
