Current Weather Conditions-February 2008

Moderate to heavy rain/sleet showers. Feeling Cold, but not cold enough. If these showers were of snow there would be quite a covering. But they are not, and everywhere is flooded, just like it should be in the west of Ireland.:rolleyes: Hope others around the country are getting something a bit of snow anyway. Temp now…

Recorded a gust of 103.2 kp/h here yesterday evening, however didn't notice it until I checked the max/mins on the station console due to my crappy C coding.

The program I wrote to pull the data via serial and update my graphs recorded it as 10.3 kp/h due to it expecting the data as XX.X kp/h!

Here's something I've always wondered; during high winds all gantry cranes seem to end up pointing the same way...do the operators leave them like this intentionally or are they automatically controlled with a vane or something?

On topic; windy asd hell here still but rain has subsided.

We don't have gantry cranes so I can't answer that, sorry. We have RTG cranes, and Mobile Harbour cranes. (Container terminal in Dublin Port)

Ah. I am using the right term for building/construction site cranes as being gantry's right?

On topic: I've no recording devices but I know what a 60mph gust sounds like in the chimney and we defo had a good 2 hours worth of those gusts between 12 and 2am last night.
