In a way today feels windier down here than last weeks storm. I'm getting more or less a constant mean of 21km/h with gusts as high as 37km/h. Well done guys again for highlighting this system a few days ago.

Some strong winds will funnel up the Irish sea, sustained 35mph winds with gusts to 60/65 are likely along the east coast and Dublin region.

Its getting wild here just outside Waterford city, no rain yet but its gone very dark and the building is shaking with the wind. Weather station nearest to me is down but Dunmore East is reporting 54km gusts. You can see the webcam on the harbour here:

Rain isn't too far away now. Heaviest rain won't be until between about 9pm-6am. Wind should pick up until about midnight and then ease off.

Very windy now - Castletroy, Limerick

rhonin

The wind has picked up quite a bit here in Sligo town in the last hour.

although the storm on thursady last was very windy for most it wasnt that windy down here in carlow,generally the south east gets away with the worst of it from atlantic depressions,but i was wondering is there any chance of us gettin some strong winds from this tonight because its pretty windy already down here

We were the same in Waterford last week, not much of an event, but i have to say the wind down here today has been stronger overall than last week. Its been from 25km to 30km mean all day and getting stronger with frequent gusts in the high 40s (max 48km/h). Feel when the rain gets going soon the gusts will increase.

Edit: Just had a 55km/h gust ( New Station Record)

Probably wont get much more windy there than it is now, shouldnt really be any worse than last thursday where you are.

As Mick said above same applies here in Waterford, picked up a lot in the last hour.

I think the South/South East escaped the worst of the last storm (which were mainly south-westerly winds), today the strong winds originate from a south east direction, later veering south-westerly.

Very wet and Very windy here in the wilds of West Cork since about 3.30pm. some seriously strong gusts out there now.

CarMuppet

Have to say the wind is substantially worse than any of the offering from the last two 'storms' over the last ten days here in Cork ( near Riverstick )

Branches down on road near my house.

Harps

Getting very windy here in the past hour, nothing on last week but theres quite a bit of noise in the trees again

John2009

Big red area of heavy rain right over Cork City and into parts of the near County :eek:

JanuarySnowstor

Yes Cork is wild tonight
Nothing major but as has been said worse than the last 2 so called events
Of course a Southerly always gets us worse down here

mickger844posts

Mean wind 33km/h highest gust 60km/h and rain starting to get a bit heavier. Really wild night out there. Last Thursday is nothing compared to this.
