    Was windy eralier Wind has died down a bit here now. Is there much rain forecast for here tonight or is it mostly the west. Pressure down to 985.4mb.
    When i was out at the seafront about 20 minutes ago.i saw a big freight ship, which is not unusal. But after a while i realized he was trying to head south down the irish sea towards the storm. The captain must be a complete nutter. He made no progress that i could see. Anyone that could leave port with a forecast like that must have a completely nuts. some really big waves out there tonight

    Don't think there's much in the way of rain for the east: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/MT8_Dublin_ens.png

    Some really severe wind gusts here in Laois at the moment. I would say something in the region of 60mph or more (the weather station only samples every 3 mins, so not great for accuracy)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Highest gust only 25mph so far.

    I'm over looking Roche's Point in Cork Harbour and the wind has just started to pick up here in the last 20 minutes or so with some serious gusts when raining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,227 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    It has certainly picked up in Dublin now.
    I'm in the attic and there seems to be small pebbles flying at the roof.

    Wind has come up again here now. Just witnessed two flares out over sea must be the poor divles stuck in it. God help them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    Gust 50mph...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Avg 25mph
    Gusting over 36mph consistenly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 254 ✭✭boardsdotie


    Pelting rain in limerick now

    Winds picking up also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,616 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Fairly blowy outside but not much rain here in Dublin.

    Think we've dodged a bullet here tbh, main rain is out west where the wind isnt so bad.

    Without the rain its missing something, but the wind is kewl - outside the air smells like christmas trees!

    Very breezy here, only came to the forum as it hit the house unexpected (like a large bang). Trees are fairly moving but apart from that one hit nothing serious yet.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    My anemometer is well away from the house and missed a gust that made the house creak. I'd say 55+mph.

    Plenty of gusts nearing 50mph but nothing recorded above it yet.

    S***, power's gone :mad:

    Looks like my weather station will be off line.

    I'll update a couple times before midnight.

    I may even get the gennie going to charge up the laptap...

    Power always goes here at a hint of a gale. :mad:


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Quite stormy!

    Gusting above 40mph all the time now and remember that wind vain is on the ground

    The ESB have been out here and apparently a tree has fallen on a transformer up the road and thats why we have the power cut.

    They say its too dangerous to fix untill the morning.

    All hail the farm generator \o/ \o/

    Saw the local bbc forecast earlier up north Angie Phillips sayin strongest winds for east up Irish sea with Co Down in firin line for flooding as it will be high tide.

    Winds like a yoyo atm.Then a gust nearly whips you off your feet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    I'll stay online for while.

    A huge pressure gradient between Rosslare 987 and Kilkenny 979 at 20z

    Gust to 51, but strongest I think still just to south of me.

    I should see 60mph+ then within the hour I'd say.

    The low (or at least one of them) is tracking up the centre of country at moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Weather station shows pressure rising sharply at the moment? Haven't had a gust over 118Km yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 172 ✭✭tonyj


    Really windy here in Citywest at the moment. I don't know the wind speed, but I've had flower pots and chairs thrown around the garden.

    And the composter (which was full up) was knocked over. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Tis pretty darn windy here now in Carlow, seem quite up to a few mins back, but then some VERY strong gusts, they seemed the strongest of the night so far :eek:

    Same here in Citywest. Tree out in the garden has come away from its supporting post. Nothing a couple of old belts couldn't sort out :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman

    would ye say it has peaked in Wicklow yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Not yet.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Just been down the fields here with the ESB making a pole with trip lines on it safe-I was holding the torch,that guy was brave climbing the top of the pole in that wind.



    He told me the power is out all over the place now and more and more reports coming in.They are only trying to make lines safe now,its impossible to even attempt to fix them.

    Our power could be off he said most of tomorrow too.

    All hail the farm generator (again) \o/ :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 536 ✭✭✭swalsh


    Starting to get very wet and windy in galway city right now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    anyone know what the sea condition in Dun Laoghaire is like at the moment. Anyone out that way? The website isnt giving me enough information .


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,338 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    just after having a 1 hour power cut, extremely windy and quite warm but dry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    would ye say it has peaked in Wicklow yet?

    I'd say it'll start easing here in an hour or so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    Winds gone down here, very calm and no rain either.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    Pressure is on the up, temp is falling and wind is veering and mean down to 31mph.

    Yes may have peaked but will be gusty for a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 254 ✭✭boardsdotie


    Do you think RTE deliberately put Twister on tonight:D
