@MIKE65
Well as we expect now they can't put their necks on the line too far ahead. The warning only went up last night I think(open to correction here).

Achill is mentals with wind and rain tonight.....

There will be loopers of surfers out in this tomorrow if it holds. (Jealous really i'd never have the nerve to do something like that)

Sky keeps freezing too, that's my storm indicator

Highest gust at 19:00 was 58KT (107kph) and in Valentia again, meanwhile at 20:00 it was 56KT (104kph) and in Valentia yet again.

Belmullet and Mace have gone over the 50KT gust mark in the past hour or two as well. I expect they will top munster by 11PM

Was gonna watch a film, but instead i decided id watch all the posts from the stormy parts of ireland 2nite as its only a bit breezy here in N Dublin. ... bag of popcorn and all i have!

GoneHome

It's very stormy here in North Co. Cork, worse than any of the previous "storms" we were supposed to be having here over the past few weeks, glad to be inside looking out.

mickger844posts

Mean 34km/h with gusts around 50km/h, haven't got close to my 66km/h gust about an hour ago. 5.8mm of rain since 6pm.

Deep Easterly

Met reports at 20:00hs in order of highest mean windspeed:



South bearing the brunt.

The different direction of the wind must be having an effect on how bad it sounds in the house, it sounds worse here than it did last Thursday, and you did get the full brunt of it on your road trip so your comparisons are all skewed.

Only home, car got badly buffeted on the way down the M1.
Surprised at just how windy it is here and it hasn't even started raining yet.
Definitely sounds like it's worse than either of the last two storms, but probably because the wind is from a different direction. Rumbling and whistling in the chimney and gusts seem to be more sustained than last week.

...and there's the rain.

Its a bad night here in Limerick, very gusty, I have so much admiration for the Munster and Aussie players and supporters who are braving the elements tonight. I drove by Thomond Park an hour ago and there were loads of people making their way into the stadium!!!

Gathering more pace now, just had a 63km/h gust.

Ye its very quiet here, as to wat we got over in achill ( even in the sheltered areas)

But ye, hope people get some rough sea pictures in the morning if its still raging

heavier rain coming our way by looks of things on met eireann map

Winger_PL

As strange at it may sound, it's very calm in Maynooth and there's nothing to indicate the conditions at the other parts of the country. I could barely call the weather outside 'windy', there's a few branches moving a bit on the trees but that's it...

2100 reports

Roches Point 33 gust 57
Cork Airport 35 gust 55
Belmullet 29 gust 53
Valentia 22 gust 56

snaps

to me this storm seems worse than last thursday, but i think its because of the direction its coming from. Its really whistling around the house. Much more rain than last Thursday, roads are very very bad.

Sponge Bob

Heavy rain stopping along the west coast now, moving inland.

rhonin

The winds seem more sustained than Thursday but as snaps said it could be the wind direction. Lights flickering now. Very heavy rain.

DarkJager

Weather here in Cork at the moment is absolutely dire. Street lamps are swaying heavily and the rain has been non stop for the past few hours.
