    Getting a hammering in Dundalk, lot of rain the past hour, I've no anemometer but I'd say we're having regular 40+ mph gales and gusts to at least 65. I'm a mile from the coast and it's coming straight in off the sea, rain egtting heavier as I type, squall maybe.
    Also got that light headed achy thing people are talking about with the pressure drop.

    But I mean I am in Dublin 15 and is not raining nor have I noticed it rain also the wind isn't anything chaotic. Infact its hardly blowing! Now granted maybe I am on a sheltered side of the house and I am just not hearing it, again. I'm no weather man :o

    I think I'll throw in another moral here. This winter has been astoundingly crap, not only for snow, but for anything interesting. Well all eyes blindly on wednseday's event; surely we can scrape something out of that? Or will it be yet another load of potentialless potential ?

    What is a man if he does not have hope;) all our heartache and despair over this winter's non-events will quickly dissipate as we experience the perfect storm on Wednesday:D

    I'm about a mile from the coast in Dublin and it is extremely gusty and quite a bit of rain, Don't know whether the walls along the strands have been breached though.

    Wow, some strong gust just now. Attic door keeps trying to open.:D Maybe us in South Dublin near the mountains are getting disturbed air coming off the mountains hence the few reports of strong gusts from others in the location. I'd consider myself on the lower foothills. Also now feeling the pressure in the head.:(

    Quite squally in SW Dublin over the last hour, yet its no worse that a few nights ago, tbh.

    0100 reports from met.ie.

    Loads of places now below 960 hPa. Birr, Claremorris, Finner Camp, Knock Airport

    Belmullet 955

    Casement Aerodrome has had the highest gust this hour, right beside me, 37 knots, Gust 54. So that shows that Dublin is having its bizzy spell right now.

    That's a brilliant piece of kit. Especially if you press play. Great insight.

    FYi, in Prestwick, Scotland and it started getting windy here about 12 tonight.

    Nothing major but it's getting more interesting.

    Actually wish I was at home as ye are forcast to get the brunt of it while we're only gonna get the outside bits.

    Concur with that. Should be just on the cusp of dieing down though.
