I am placed well inland though but really seem to missing these strong winds at the mo, I must be more sheltered from them than I first reckoned.


Stats for last 30 mins here, showing 10 min mean speed in knots from my rooftop, taken at 5 min intervals

Shower here now in West Limerick. Some reasonable gusts with it.

Hopefully it'll get more interesting past midnight.

Actually winds a bit stronger than I thought. Nothing major though.

This is a west/northwest coastal counties type of thing. Certainly wouldn't be expecting any significant in Cork.

I feel sorry for any poor fcukers living in north western iceland right now.

Just curious, are ppl here hoping for storm damage?

There'll definitely be some outdoor xmas stuff flying around Galway tomorrow. I was at my parents gaff earlier, they live near the sea in town and their neighbours have this massive snowman thing thats barely tied down.

Given that the date is 11 Nov @11:00 I think it may have a problem, or is it offline?

No, we just like unusual weather.

Some serious gusts up here on Inch Island, Donegal, lots and lots of heavy rain to accompany it. I fear we're in for a long night here, torches and candles at the ready!

No. Because that would be stupid,would'nt it?

Winds should start to pick up on west coast around 3-4am.

AnotherYear

Showers turning increasingly wintry in Donegal. Big gusts in the showers but nothing out of the ordinary as of yet. Heard the Glenshane pass is a winter wonderland ha and higher routes in Donegal have snow but can't confirm this

Highest gust at 00.00 Malin head 120kph/75mph

maquiladora

Wave height up to 13.7m at the K5 buoy at midnight. The model forecast is for double that by 9am.

Meteorite58

Increasingly squally here on the North Kerry coast, 10 min avg wind speed 31 kph WNW, recent gust 71 kph. Rain rate 10.4mm/hr atm.

Bar 1015.5mb Rising Slowly

Just curious but why do you think people would hope for storm damage

mountainy man

Had some snow showers, not sticking as yet, high gust of 34.2 mph so far, fairly normal winters night up here on walton's mountain :P

Tactical

No major change to things here in West Limerick.

Winds pick up when there are showers and fall back again after.

Tactical

Shower now. Strong gusts that are more sustained than earlier.

It is logical you see and great enthusiasts, bless their cotton socks, are blind sometimes. We know that in extreme weather there will be damage but they see only the extreme weather...so no they are not hoping for damage .. I think that makes sense.. they see the weather but not the consequences... not judging just saying

Graces7

Wild wild night up here in the South West Kerry mountains.. Wind tunnel effect at my door with a westerly...getting out for fuel is interesting forecast just up on met speaks of wintry showers... will see what like the back high mountains are like when it gets light
