"... many National Parks will be closed."

How do you close a national park? Oh, wait, they're taking in the roads. Maybe putting the cover on the mountains too.

for that kindness, thank you We will need it. The marine forecast which applies to coastal waters, has gone orange . "strong gale to storm force".

Already the door here is hard to open, and harder still to close. A long, hard, noisy and dangerous night and day ahead.

I think this storm could be bad enough one...those squally hail/thunder showers that come with storms coming from this direction can be very nasty and have there own vicious winds...Hope we are not getting fooled again by all the hype...as I have just looked at the charts and it doesn't even look like a proper storm:rolleyes:

I'll not hunker down before a storm with a name like a suppressed sneeze.

roflol!

NB I am hunkering. Trust me on that. Getting dark already here and I need to count the cats in.

That orange marine forecast is the worst for a long time.

Mother is giving out about us asking her to go up to my sisters. Reckons it's just a gale coming. To be honest, I suspect she could be right but won't chance it.

You are taking no chances and that is the right, caring and responsible thing to do. Even if it does not develop badly, so what? No harm done and your mind at rest. Promise her a treat or three! It is bad out here already now and I will not even open the door now. Far too forceful a wind . And this is only the first stage. Tomorrow will be far worse.

Thanks for the information

OH MY! met.ie have the new forecasts up and the word " wintry" is used about showers!

But that forecast makes fearsome reading.

Easy; read the list. These are gated facilities. Off the road. Lock the gates. eg Killarney House and Gardens. Connemara National Park..

Count your blessings... It was like that here last night. Utter eerie peace. Your turn will come :eek:

Galeforce

The regular posters are gone very quiet 🀫 any update on the storm?

Gaoth Laidir

ECM mean winds at 100 metres tomorrow, in m/s. Gold is Force 12. Two cores, the first approaching the southwest late afternoon, the second coming down behind it towards Belmullet late evening. So two waves of peak winds, with the southwest getting hit with both.

Remember, this chart is at 100 metres, but certainly surface gusts of 65-70 knots possible along coastal counties.

Met Eireann going with Connemara coastline to get the strongest winds on latest update

Storm Atiyah will bring very windy conditions on Sunday. Westerly winds will reach gale force in many areas. Westerly winds strongest in the afternoon and evening with potentially severe and damaging gusts, with severe gale, to storm force winds on coasts and especially near the Connemara coastline. Winds will be strongest in eastern areas during the evening time. There will be blustery squally showers throughout the day. Many of the showers will be heavy some of hail and thunder and turning wintry over hills in the northwest of the country. Highest temperatures of 7 to 9 degrees. Westerly winds will veer northwesterly later in the day, with gale force winds continuing in places with severe gale, to storm force winds on coasts.

Gated car parks maybe. Not Ballycroy/Letterkeen though.

Yes, unfortunately, I just saw that now. It is not uncommon for the weather station at Mace Head to register very strong winds during winter storms from a W/NW direction. Hopefully, it will not materialize as severe as predicted.

Getting windy in Galway now the rain just arrived

Nice day in Galway today. Got loads done.
Rain has arrived now but at least it held odd during hours of light. Tomorrow should be interesting.

Wind blowing over flower pots here in Kildare. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be this windy this early. May bring them all in now
