Weather Warning Storm Tonight & Tomorrow

Villain

Not sure how many of you pay attention to the Weather Forum or Forecasts from Met Eireann but we have a serious Storm arriving now which will bring some serious strong Gusts that are likely to cause damage with Gusts of up to 120 km/h and Donegal is going to see Gusts of up to 150 km/h

See www.iwo.ie for details.

Cheers for the heads up, haven't checked the weather updates in a while. Is it just for tonight?

AnonoBoy

Thanks for the warning.

I was about to head out in my newly purchased Kite Coat but might leave that until next week now.

Tonight and Tomorrow morning, first wave of Gusts overnight peaking about 4am - 5am and then another Wave of gusts between 8am and Noon tomorrow.

Meh, it'll just be a bit windy. Country yokels will think it's the Great Wind God - (Howlie by name, moany by nature) but to the rest of us it's nothing. You'd swear there were tornadoes chasing the Weather regulars to the bathroom by the way they're rabbiting on.

I think you'll find AH is probably the busiest forum on boards.

That was horrible! Took me almost 4hrs to drive back home from the city centre. Was worse than the snow last year, well in 2010...

Is that just so you could be as inconvenient as possible?

Doc Ruby

Good I love a nice big storm. Hopefully its a raging savage of a one rather than an angsty tantrum. A nice fire, good book, a few beers, and a storm, thats me sorted.

meh Ive done bike races [bicycle] in 80km/hr winds before up north. the bastards never called the race off

cocoshovel

You mean another rainy & windy day? Why does everyone get worked up when met eireann put up a "storm warning"? We get loads of these every year and its just another wet week here.
We really do have nothing to do in this country other than get all excited about what a bit of wind could do. You would swear it was a hurricane.

150 km/h will do more than that, Strong Winds are only starting to arrive in the South Now.

Nope, that counts as CARNAGE....

International Red Cross disaster relief funding should be reserved for crises like these.

Why is it any time Met Eireann warn people about this stuff it turns out to be an anti climactic event?

Now, Michael Fish ... there's a real Weather Man!

Jake Rugby Walrus666

It doesn't look like Town will be effected.

Cantona's Collars

Planes being diverted to Dublin from Cork,they can't land due to the wind.

Seems the West and NW are really going to get hit this time.

Dublin might get a 80mph breeze and AH will go into Armageddon mode.
