It is. hardly to blame for your being on a mobile..

Its very simple to state where you are located in your post, don't assume everyone is on desktop. It would also help us mobile users out instead of switching to desktop site just to see a location.
Anyway its not a big deal so let's not make a big deal out of it, we're just here to report weather conditions in the hope it will help other users out when planning to travel.

Weather in and around Newport was unusual today, some strong gusts and plenty of rain and hail in the afternoon. Lots of sunny spells mixed in just for fun. I'm sure this is just a taste of what the winter has in store.

We had torrential rain in Athlone this morning, then calm for most of the day. The wind has really picked up now, gusting very strong out there

Today it was lashing rain. According to the Met it was a Yellow alert but I believe it merited a higher status of Orange. The conditions were atrocious. Anyone else feel the same. The winds and rains bucketed down. Falling branches and posts snapping. Storm Barney has certainly caused a lot of destruction despite being rated near the lowest level of weather warning.

We've had very little calm here in sandyford today. Wind has been pretty much non-stop howling. Still waiting for my boiler to be replaced so we're bloody freezing. Can't wait for snow and cold outside but I can't wait to feel warm inside my own house - 4 days makes the skin of the house cold which means It's warmer outside than in!!

Sorry - moaning.

Anyway weather, as far as wind and rain is concerned has been constant here since Saturday last. We need some calm, clear (even COLD) weather that doesn't sound like the roof is going to come off while needing the lights on

The storms we have now in Ireland are very lax to be honest even in the north-west compared to 25th-26th July 1985. The amazing lightning and thunder-storms of 85 have not been beaten yet, and that was an amazing lightning storm as I remember it in Co. Dublin. We need some lightning and heavy thunder in the next storm to satisfy my needs of the beauty of nature, light the sky up to a beautiful spectacular event.

No storm today here...there was one for about 3 hours yesterday.

Honestly, I thought today did't merit a warning at all...maybe its because of yesterdays wild day but today seemed grand!
Grand in a sense that we're on the home run into winter.
