Still calm in Dublin with rain

Got a power outage in the Ballysimon area but it has since been restored. Very windy since from about 9am. But I didn’t think it was stormy enough to blow out the power. Winds was gusting up to gale force but is inclining to ease back a bit.

Winds/gusts picking up around Carlow town. Raining heavily for the last hour.

If the centre is currently over the midlands does that mean that big blob of rain to the North will come back down again over parts of the Country like Galway.

Yep, it looks that way, latest radar shows the western flank moving south now.

South Dublin, I was out at 7am for an hour and again at 9am for half an hour, just back in again from a short walk.

No rain whatsoever, quite mild too just had a t-shirt on but it is very wet everywhere from what went on overnight.

The photo was Booterstown at 7:30am (screenshotted to make smaller at 10:11am).

Wind direction and pressure show it sat right over the middle of the country.

Don't have my weather station at the moment, but the rain is heavy and sideways, very windy in northern part of Kilkenny.
There will be days in winter that will be much nicer.

Crazy winds.

Crosswind problems at Cork Airport. A Ryanair flight from Luton circling south of the airport. Another Ryanair flight from Luton was diverted to Shannon. A KLM flight from Amsterdam to Cork has just made landfall over Wexford and is now aiming for Shannon.

Up to 36.8mm since midnight here in the hills west of Ennis.
Just has our strongest gust yet from this system during a little squall - 85kmh

Looks like it’s moving south easterly on the radar.

Alls quiet now here atm, very wild last night around 4am.
Felt windier than Ellen as it was less sheltered last night and even knocked over a few pots.
Only 15mm of rainfall in the gauge, expected a bit more.
Even had a bit of sunshine earlier.

Strong gusts north of Carlow town now. Cracked a big tree beside the workplace. We weren't expecting gusts as strong.

Rain is just sitting over Galway. Strange to have wind but the rain band is barely moving

I rather like it. Makes all indoors snug and safe. Fire lit. Wind changed to the north. Straight off the ocean.

Just watching the radar and guessed you would be wondering what all the fuss is about

Pretty miserable to your south

Agree. Quite stormy here but dry.

Rain loud against the windows. Wind sounds easing. Gusts rather than one long blast! I think it is starting to pass?

fits

Its wild in Carlow town.
