Do you think we could have a developing storm situation that will catch most of the country off guard?

There is a warning system but with majority of people asleep at this hour, it’s not going to be very effective?

Nope our National weather service Met Eireann will let people know via the much maligned weather warning system if they see fit

If your asleep its not much of an issue , most other times I get a notification from RTE when a weather warning has been issued ,

It would be on the morning news bulletins also .

Satellite doesnt seem impressive. Do you think it’s still instensyfing ?

Looks a lot more to the north too...

It was so still and silent until 05.10

Scarily strong winds here in Kerry at the moment. Feels like the house could take off at any minute!

Semena Mertvykh

Very strong winds in Cork City, really picked up in the last half hour or so.

force eleven

Literally flat calm here in Offaly. Zero on the windspeed indicator. Pressure 982.8 is lower than Eleanor got, and still falling.

Latest from met eireann

Extremely windy,severe and damaging gusts at the coast...

donal.hunt

Very windy here in Cork right now (based on the noise above my house which is located on an exposed hill just north of cork city). Seems worse than anything in the past week.

Tomorrow morning looks worrying for cork / kerry.

Samaris

Heeello sudden weather. Was totally calm at ground level in SW Galway (tops of trees were swaying) until about a minute ago when a howl started up and gusts started shunting Eleanir's debris around. It was as abrupt as Eleanor's arrival, if less dramatic.

Although another shaker like that last gust and I might reconsider the dramatics.

BionicRasher

Really picked up here in Cobh all of a sudden. 40knt gusts in the last 15 minutes

lottpaul

Very noisy and windy outside at moment -- direction seems different to the storms of the last few days -- more of the usual SW I think - just judging by which end of the house seems noisiest.

74kts recorded in fastnet in the past hour. Thats 137km/h.

68kts / 125km/h recorded in the past 20mins.

MJohnston

I'd be surprised if this doesn't get named by UKMO at the least, could bring very strong gusts to a lot of North Wales and the English Midlands.

aisling86

It's absolutely howling here in Macroom, must drive to work in cork now, should be interesting! 😳

Windy outside in Renmore, Galway.

MidMan25

Seems windier than anything since Opehlia currently in Cork!

donal.hunt

Not clear how naming is done for this type of system (twin lows in the same system).

Note: there's another low heading our way middle of next week (2017-01-09) according to https://earth.nullschool.net/#2018/01/09/0000Z/wind/isobaric/850hPa/overlay=mean_sea_level_pressure/orthographic=-18.62,61.51,684/loc=3.995,29.144 which I suspect will be named in due course. New thread?

This wind is wild in cork, just woke me up. Really gusting strong.

corsav6

Dead calm here in Newport, Mayo. I'm happy with that for a change

Gaoth Laidir

Aerodrome warning for Dublin Airport, valid 10 am to 3 pm, but not too bad

Gusting to 58kts in Cork Airport currently.

banjolin

Wind just suddenly hit west Waterford.

gozunda

Wind speed has really ramped up in the last hour and a half.

Moderate rainfall but made worse by winds

Gusts in excess of 40 Knots and coming from the NW - due to local topography.

130 m asl

North Cork / Limerick / Tipperary border

Has Tipp moved or migrated from Munster?

Gaoth Laidir

dexter647

Winds have really started to pick up here in south west Laois...It was like someone flicked a switch

pad199207

Gust of 65mph in durrow :O

galwaybabe

Quiet so far in Kinvara

curfumsarinn

Hi, I'm in west Waterford, on the coast, about 200ft asl, and the wind this morning is FIERCE. Unless I'm experiencing something very localised, this has been under-warned. At the moment, and since about 0630, this is keep-away-from-windows stuff. neighbours fence already down, my dog is whimpering in a corner of the kitchen, and there's no way I'm leaving the house right now.

RobertKK

This is stronger than Eleanor was, here in Kilkenny.

Villain

Fastnet Lighthouse hit 137kmh earlier.

banjolin

Looks like this system took a little bite out of Munster and is now heading for the UK. 60k gust near Cahir is highest I can find around here. Pressure rising rapidly.

gman2k

Windy gusts in Waterford city are vicious at the moment.

sideswipe

Reading these updates with interest and trepidation. Inbound from Dubai to Dublin.... pretty bumpy up here! Gulp.

natty_asha

Power gone in part of Carlow town now in the last 10 minutes. Not sure if weather related but some pretty strong gusts here the past half hour.

pad199207

My god sudden roar of wind here in Kildare.

Yeah I see that on ESB PowerCheck, about 1150 homes without power there.
Estimated restore time 1.30pm

pad199207

Windy now but certainly not as bad as Ophelia

kod87

Breezy morning here in Tipp but nothing exceptional

mickger844posts

Definitely the windiest its been over the last number of days with a gust of 85km/h recorded at my station in Waterford City. Certainly dangerous out there for a while but has eased somewhat now.
