    There has been a bit of a lull in the wind since about 2am but is starting to pick up a little now. Not heard any thunder.

    Lull in winds here in West Limerick since my last report.

    The course of the night was pretty much in line with the forecast as far as I could tell.

    It seems almost to calm in Derry here to warrant the yellow/amber warnings from Met Office UK. To me this is just a typical winter day with nothing out of the ordinary.

    There is the odd squally shower, but that's all I've seen so far.

    Stuck inside a room with no view now so won't be able to see anything until end of the day.

    Strongest gust of 76 mph in the last hour. Hail shower at the minute.

    Will peep out later for some photos of waves!

    Since I moved from Mayo to Southern Poland, I'm jealous of these Atlantic storms! I have to put up with hot sunny summers and cold snowy winters here:-) Has this storm panned out like forecast or is it a bit of a let down? It looked quite impressive on the charts!
    As the front moves across Europe (Currently over Germany) it should hit our cold air (Currently -5c) and produce some more snow to top up what we already have!

    Speaking of Sky News, Adam Boulton was reading the headlines at 8pm last night and he said over a sequence of high waves...

    "800 m.p.h. winds due to batter Britain!!" I suspect that woke a few Scots up :D


    Meanwhile the larger Ferries are leaving Dublin as normal at the moment, wind gusting F:9 on the bay, I suspect Holyhead will be a welcome sight

    Is it worth making a trip to Mullaghmore Co Sligo to get a few pics of the waves?

    Quick Q wind wise for Dublin? Should I walk or cycle to work, wind's grand now but slightly concerned about the speed of them later.

    No, the aircraft will be torn apart by a tornado. Bring a parachute and a spare pair of underwear.

    If you're not used to strong headwinds, your arms may get a little tired....

    Have you considered taking the trip aboard an aircraft instead? I hear they're the latest thing. You arrive at your destination far less tired than if you fly the route yourself ;););)
