Much ado about nothing. Maybe force ten for parts of two counties for a couple of hours in the early hours tomorrow. A yellow warning for two counties at best.

Heavy rain in Galway now. Much heavier than anything we got in Awfeelia.

Get ready with your cameras! ;)
Ok, Fastnet is not reachable during a storm , but Baltimore beacon is just 5 km away. Shot during Ophelia:

The beacon is 30 meters above sea level.

Ridiculously heavy rain here in Kerry for the last two hours, localised flooding already, not a puff of wind however but if it keeps up raining like this then it will get serious quickly. By far the wettest day of the year I would say.

Producing a lot of rain so far in Tralee , blustery too. In noticably milder air now.

Yea warm front going through, in the warm sector now I'd say.

Bucketing down here, reports of local floods.

Rough night in store.

I agree with giving people fair warning for travel and outdoor work (particularly this weeks dangerous clean up work), but if this was a little later in the season and hadn't arrived on the tail of a major event, it would just be what my granny describes as a 'dirty night'!

Good excuse to get the fire going, bake and make stew

Wind has just started to whip up in Mayo,very heavy rain too.

Ironically I think that this one might be downplayed for that very reason. Very gusty here (mid-Limerick), I wouldn't like to be standing under damaged trees.

Will the storm have passed through by tomorrow morning or is it expected to be around all day tomorrow. Was planning to head to galway for a 3pm rugby game tomorrow.
