Getting very wild in Tralee now. Woke up at 5.40 to absolute calm and at around 6 it started to blow.

Pressure dropping 2mb in 30 mins here in Arklow

Gusting just 46kmh

Car99

Very calm here 7 miles west of Tipperary town, not a puff of wind yet. Bit windy at midnight last night but nothing now not even heavy rain

Macdarack

Quite strong winds in West clare

So far, it seems to be a suďden transition rather than a slow build up.

Power flicked off and on twice but back again thankfully. Very stormy now in Central Kerry.

Been up for two hours in Greystones and nothing but calm. Halfway through the orange warning period in Wicklow but looks like we are going to be pretty unscathed.

We got more wind from Dudley than we had from Eunice in Athlone Area, on that it was such a quite night will we get hit later.

Car99

So what I can gather Eunice is on her way but a couple of hours behind met eireann weather warning schedule.

Speak Now

Rain has stopped in Waterford, a mild 7c.

North Kerry ramping up wind now

Rain has just started in North Cork.

It was a very very calm night, not a sausage!

Just woke here in Cork city. Absolutely calm here. Must be in the eye. My weather station has me at 967mb. Don't think it's been too bad so far but I know the worst winds were always to be as the low pulls away soon..

Yes, does seem to be delayed/timings off a couple of hours. Should start to ramp up very soon/now in Kerry and move across the south of the country from there.

Shadylou

Very calm in cork city

jackboy

Gone from dead calm to quiet windy in minutes, county Clare.

SleetAndSnow

Cork is indeed in the eye, as can be seen from this photo that YanSno posted in the technical thread! Mad now calm it eerie it is in the eye!

You can see those tight isobars off the west hitting Kerry now, but you can also add the tight isobars at the bottom that we dodged, luckily

Timings are off or we dodge a bullet in wicklow

We'll know by 10am

I have some doubts as Londons red warning starts at 10am which is 500kms plus away at tge same time

That doesn't make sense

Sugarbowl

Gusts of 72kts off the Fastest Lighthouse just there.

sunbeam

Lights flickering here in Achill. Wind has been howling for several hours now.

Had some hail earlier and heavy rain but no snow.

FastFullBack

Big big pickup in wind just now. 10 mins from Clonakilty right on the coast.

It was very calm for the last 30 mins.

Wow, gone mad now

"Wrap around" front turning to snow as it crosses the country. Heavy sleet/snow showers following behind.

A really simple one for everyone, go to met.ie, beside the radar click on Wind, press play under the lovely picture of Ireland, this will give you some idea of the movement of Eunice across the country and the change in windspeeds, direction. There are gaps as it is an hourly frame rate but it gives you something to work off.
