Just a couple of puffs of wind, 40kmh is the max I found. Windy rather than stormy.

Wind is picking up here in Navan, Ive just been out in the garden trying to secure the trampoline, its lifting with the wind which is different to what usually happens when its windy here, must be gusts from an unusual direction. Not much rain but the wind is cold..

Some heavier bands of rain heading east coast bound in next hour by the looks of the radar.

ogimet has cork down as 87.7mm so far (misprint?

Just walked up the quays a little and across Samuel Beckett bridge.it was like walking up (and then across) a wind tunnel. Tiny painful bullets of rain

Wind doesn't like Trampolines.

Don't want this happening.

ditto in Arklow and I suspect Dun laoghaire is being over played there.
Obviously there's surf and some gale gusts but nothing too unusual.

Its very wet in London.
Bone dry now in Arklow so Dublin should be dry soon.

Its the unusual direction of the strong winds making it an exceptional day in Dun Laoghaire as opposed to inland suburbs. Theyve closed pedestrian access to the harbour due to 10 metre waves breaking over the piers, and in 10 years of working with a view of the sea here I can say Ive only seen surf and swell like this maybe twice before.

Rain does seem to be easing a lot now, visibility improved a lot, Howth now visible again

Plenty of rain & winds starting to strengthen in Athlone.

don't think so, more in the Irish sea on the way - between Wicklow and Anglesea at the moment.

I'm going to need to attach water skis to my bike to get home......

The Wicklow mountains look to be doing a fine job in killing off the rain as it pushes west, going by the radar, it seems to die out before it can make progress.
Thanks Lugnaquilla.

6 weeks of rain in 72 hours they said...

It was more or less 6 minutes of rain in 6 hours...:D

As someone said earlier,,bring back the showers and the thunder and lightening.

Much much better..

DART commute coming home was interesting to say the least, big waves slamming onto the carriages between Blackrock and Monkstown. Here in Dalkey massive waves by the coast and spray everywhere, could taste the salt in my mouth:D Very interesting day and I'd say that rainfall accumulations are higher than what most stations are reporting due to the strong winds.

rather dull i know. bring back the hail.

Min

Bring back March, just keep the days longer.

Bit of a disappointment so far. Things have been played up because of the rains in October. Sure let see how it goes from here :0

The tide was high. Think it maxed out at 4.2, half a metre above the prediction, should be gradually dropping now tho.

If it's going to be windy and rainy for a few days, it's just going to end up píssíng people off :pac:

dacogawa

Sandymount beach is a bit boring, sheltered from the big waves by Poolbeg & probably Howth, the wind would freeze your ears of though!

Storm 10

Heavy rain in Galway now, the rain so far in the South and East was nothing like what Met Eireann forecast, unless something major happens it looks like thats it for now.

and speaking as someone who was flooded out of it in dublin 8 last october, thank christ for that.

i can understand people wanting to see a bit of exciting meteorological action, but they have to remember there is often a human cost behind it when it arrives.
