I thought this was going to make England a bit more unsettled than it has. Did it track further west? Not even a recorded gust here in Bedfordshire, just a mild breeze.

Its a bit further northwest than progged yesterday, Bedfordshire was unlikely to see much more than a strong breeze in any case.

East Galway atm, its completely calm, not even a breeze.

My station in Tullow recorded a top gust of 87km/h at 12:48

64 knots at Malin head at 1600 is likely to be the strongest gust that will be recorded. winds from now on will just be blustery in and around showers. Showers along the west coast will have lightning.

Similar here in Cork's southside

The rain hasn't really hit here in Mullingar. There was a heavy shower earlier about half 3 but there was a lot of strong winds from 4pm, still going now.

Nothing major here in west clare. Several squally showers and heavy winds from 14:00-15:00 but thats about it.

The crazy rain from earlier today,the quality isn't great,and the orientation is wrong, but you get the idea.

Got very windy in Dublin a few minutes ago, Dublin airport was reporting gusts of 48kts

HIRLAM has another zone of gusty winds passing through the central belt of the country tomorrow morning as a shortwave feature passes through.

Nothing of any interest here in Waterford city.

Is there any possibility of Saturday evening in Dublin not being a total washout?

Peak gust speeds up to 18z as on Ogimet, so subject to quality control by met eireann over the next few days.

Baggy Trousers

Nothing happening in West Galway. Colder than recent days - around 7C.

Padster90s

Yeah, wasn't much but it made for a change from recent weather! Wouldn't mind some thunder to round the day off.

Clonmel1000

Non event for most of country? Was a squally day here but nothing out of the ordinary for November.

Storm 10

Gone calm in Galway now, it was just an ordinary gale really nothing out of the ordinary for us here, is that it now as looking at the forecast after the 6 news she said damaging gusts tonight. Cant see where they are going to come from.

66 kts is only 75 mph that can't be hurricane speed as we have often had 80 mph winds and no mention by ME of a hurricane, all day they said Storm 10

redsteveireland

Heavy rain with a good bit of hail here for the last 20mins. Just need some thunder to finish the night off!

Shaped up nicely over the UK.

Yes but that was just gusts in a Catergory 1 Hurricane that would just be the minimum sustained winds imagine that:pac:

That's gusts. It needs to be sustained wind above 64 knots for hurricane force.

That's just a light breeze for them, they don't consider it windy unless it hits above 100km

It wasn't too bad here in Newport, a few strong gusts but nothing major. The rain was relentless for a few hours but cleared up nicely.

More thunder and lightning activity on the mayo coast just now,hail and gusty winds.

Just a calm night here in Newport so far, a slight breeze picking up from the SW so I'd say it won't be long until we get it.

NIMAN

Its relatively gentle winds up here in the NW.

No sign of any storm, yet.

it was wetter and windier around tea time.
