Storm Isha - Sunday 21/Monday 22 January 2024

Sligo Airport is right beside the sea in Strandhill. It generally gets around 120kph during most bad storms. It's a location a bit like Mace Head. Wide open and hugely exposed. Since the Atlantic ocean hugs this area I'm not surprised at that gust.

Some locals in strandhil on twitter have reported these are the worst winds theyv seen for many a year. Around 8 to 10pm was very bad and it still is.

A flight from Manchester to Dublin couldn't land so had to divert to Paris, still alot of go arounds at Dublin Airport

lot of airports that you would normally divert to are already full. might make more sense for ryanair to pug the plane back in Paris.

Lot of downed trees in Derry city area.

How many trees that were there today won't be there tomorrow?

The last of the peak moving through Sligo now. Donegal will see highest gusts until 2am.

Checking my so called "sheltered" wind gauge on the weather station....83.2kph was my top gust between 9 and 10pm. Lower since but not much.

Very wild again after a lull.

Time lapse radar appears to indicate that line squall was same feature I mentioned earlier when it was passing through Shannon estuary. Just a quick look at maps indicates very few populated areas along track from ten miles north of Limerick to central meath but there may be other reports eventually along its path and also a parallel feature further north, believe I read one post about its passage through Louth? A third candidate for localized damage ran from Sligo across south-central NI.

Malin 94km/h gust 133km/h

It's still very gusty in Lucan. I'm surprised by how long this has lasted here. So noisy still, very intense gusts and squalls still.

Seems to be all over now.

I am on kildare Laois border lots of reports of fallen trees , 6 within 2 km of me and lots of large tress so a lot of local roads completely closed. I can’t see school here starting on tomorrow.

Very sustained strong gusts started about 5:30 and continued till about 9 .. then died down a bit but after picking up strong again now .. lost power for 4 hours but lights are flickering now again .

Happy to see most people took notice of the warnings around here as some of the trees down are huge ..

I know I'm posting alot and I apologise but I am extremely surprised my power didn't go ,as all around me lost power ,we had 4 or 5 moments of severe gusts and I was like this will knock it out and didn't , for anyone sitting in the dark , your not missing much telly is crap , also keep warm and at least the storm is going away , for those in malin head or around the area your gonna have gusts above 100km/h till 5am or so

Yellow wind warning issued for northwestern and western counties from 04:00 till 19:00 only copped that there

UKMO issuing a very late red warning for a small part of Scotland later tonight. Are they seeing convective potential / sting jet?

I don't remember it was 9 months old at the time,but I do know malin head gusts hit 110mph

Not really though. If you lived in Banagher you'd often be right next to a red county (Galway) and it's not normal for east Galway to see red conditions...ever.

They really need to drop the all or nothing county BS.

It's almost always western side of the Atlantic counties anyway.

Sot ?
