It is very mild here in the Brecon Beacons National Park and dull but dry. I am watching the weather in the States and suspect it is on the way over here sometime next week.

I think it's supposed to arrive here Monday/ Tuesday but it'll be rain not snow.
Could be snow on the top of the mountains where you are but I think it will be rain.
There giving a lot of rain for the west of Ireland, wales and north west England this week unfortunately.

Thanks so much - keep safe everyone. We have the Environment Agency coming tomorrow to check that we are behaving ourselves!

TITANIUM.

Tis an extremely windy morning down south. Strong winds and rain all night.

_Brian

Same in Cavan, wind has eased a bit but still blustery and pouring rain. Not very nice at all.

LinF

Dull, drizzling and miserable but quite mild. Environment Agency girls did not bitch about anything, must be a first!

_Brian

Oh god the rain has been relentless all night

darragh_haven

Mad wild and pouring rain

LinF

BBNP - Still drizzling but the wind has picked up.

I don't see much mention anywhere of the strong winds forecast for Thursday night/ Friday morning. They don't mention it on met eireann only on this site https://www.windyty.com/?2016-01-29-03,53.348,-6.260,6

I read their forecast again they're saying gusty sw winds tomorrow but not much about thurs night/ Friday morn.

Its blown up into a nice bright fresh day here in Cavan, some isolated showers hanging about but generally bright and breezy.

I heard on the radio storm Gertrude is arriving tonight. Met Eireann have now weather warnings out for a lot of the country but mostly for the west and southern coastal counties. I think it'll be worst from 11 pm to 5 am.

Was the storm we had the other day not called Jonas? Thought they went alphabetically?

Jonas was the tail of an American storm, it didn't start off the Irish coast.

Yea it was named by the americans when it was a storm out there but when it got here it was more a rain low pressure system than a storm. If it was still a storm when it arrived on this side of atlantic it would have been called Gertrude.

The way it's looking at the moment we should be able to reach K no problem.

It was a storm here anyway, the first one to take away part of a roof anyway

If you have any more shed roofs that might blow off it might be worth putting some weight or ropes on them as next week is looking very stormy. It looks like storm Henry will be here on Monday and even the day beforehand sunday will be gusty and then there may be more named storms during the week but it looks like there could be another biggish storm Friday.:(

Still windy. Wind blew back door of jeep closed when I was taking out buckets of meal. Walloped my knee off tow bar.

LinF

Just blowing at the moment. I think there is more to come. Keep safe guys.

_Brian

Brightened up a nice day here in Cavan, brisk drying wind.

Kovu

Snow! Wasn't expecting that this morning.
