To update you, max gust is 57 mph at 21:17. Max 10 min avg so far is 34mph, but mean for past 2 hours is above 30 mph and mean for the day is 24mph.
Haven't had many windier days, but have certain had stronger winds, but then the night is young.....

Should point out that the weather station is on a low site, so I think it's probable that the wind is stronger in many areas locally.

Wind picked up in the last 10 mins raining now very windy gusty.

Danno

Had snow for a time this morning, but ground too warm/wet for sticking.

Much milder now. Just under 5c.

mike65

100% clear skies, a 25 mph wind and fecking freezing!

Mike.

Showery and breezy

Winds getting nasty across the Country now with gusts in Belmullet
reaching 70mph just now :eek:

Gusts are above 50mph over a large portion of the Isle now

And shockingly mild earlier, 14c at 8 :eek: :eek:

I know this is cheeky, but I just can't help myself....

From the 20th of January, Will weather forecasters be legally obliged to give winds in km/hr? Just thought, since we're all going metric

mike65

Mike.

With gusts to around 150Km possible in the northwest

RE*AC*TOR

Driving down by Sandymount strand, waves coming in over the wall. Kind of an eerie quiet about.

Danno

Light snow showers tonight in South Laois. Windy too!

Hal1

Just curious as to what that is out in the atlantic looks like a depression ....weatherman ;?

mike65

Dry and bright all day bar a couple of quick downpours.

Mike.

Was in West Cork near Macroom today-Beautifull sunshine and then all of a sudden , almost black darkness, wind got up and there was an intense downpour of hail and wet sleet.
It looked like doom approaching from the direction of mullaughanish mt as it closed in.
