Still calm in Dublin 5. It's very mild with a few spits of drizzle.

Since 4 its been wet and wild, but the first storm worthy winds only just arrived. The roar in the mountains is there now and slowly ramping up.

In common with others, the wind has really ramped up in the last few minutes. |Sudden loud gusts and heavy rain on the windows.

Still waiting for this morning's AMSR2 scan to come in, but this was yesterday afternoons scan, with a wide area of up to 70-knot mean speeds associated with Diana's sting jet in the far southwest (time of scan along the bottom of the map).

some really strong gusts in the last while in North Cork. Plenty of lorry tyres been blown over around the yard ! No damage to any sheds so far

Nothing in Dublin city as of yet.
It's an excellent morning in comparison to yesterday morning here

Sounds like the end of the world out here now.... OUCH!

Torrential rain in Cork City now.

Really getting going here now - creaking noises from the roof - never a good sign - the letter box flapping and trees bending over in the grey light outside - loud booming gusts - heavy squalls of rain too.
Kerry county council twitter warning of trees down in Inch, Kilgarvan and Fenit - and tidal flooding in Dingle. We still have power though.
Difficult decisions for parents to make re bringing children to school.

Is Dublin due to get hit by this storm? Very calm here in the city this morning just a normal day

Sycamore Tree

Quiet enough in Galway. Not sure when winds and rain peak here but just seems like a typical November morning so far.

Baybay

Wet, grey morning out there. Rain looked heavy enough while the street light was still on. Harder to see now as it’s so grey! And I’m not going outside until I have to! Wind has been picking up steadily over the last hour or so. Frequent gusts now.
Wicklow Town.

The storm is starting to effect the south of the country as the number of power outages are increasing.

Eventually Dublin will see some stronger wind gusts but probably not until the wind shifts to a more westerly direction, however some coastal areas could see strong gusts before that too.

DOCARCH

Max gust in 0800 reports of 58kts at Roches Point and Sherkin.

Looking out the window, still dark here in Fermoy. It's as if someone is throwing buckets of water at the window.
Very strong winds, but only really started since about 8 am.

Stronger wind than I was expecting this early in Wicklow town. The thoughts of school collections later when it's worse!! Only a yellow warning here too.

Seriously wild in limerick city
