    The queue in Penneys Galway is miles long and the car parks are full. Consumerism trumps Deirdre.

    Thank the Lord for online shopping.

    Managed to do an oil service on the Mrs car this morning, not too bad out there

    I bought a 40ft trampoline this morning and was hoping to put it together and have a bounce on her later this afternoon. What do you think my chances are?

    Tie it down with wheelie bins and you should be fine..

    LOVE it! Thank you.

    I hated and dreaded gales and storms for years after we lost so many family members. friends and colleagues in the big tsunami.
    They were working with the very poor and died with them.

    Getting easier now thankfully

    west mayo,, rain lashing against the windows and gusts shaking the air.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,924 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Rain is really coming down here in South Wicklow now but hardly a breath of wind. Could be my location though which I think is well sheltered geographically.

    Edit: just now seeing Arklow weather's posts. I'm only a few miles from Arklow and it seems you're having a much more windy time than me!

    I don't think you will get any more than a gale up that way, it's just going to hit the south coast a glancing blow as it passes to east south of the country

    different story out at sea on an exposed island,
    marine warning applicable to grace

    2. West or northwest strong gale force 9 or storm force 10 winds developing this afternoon and evening, on all Irish coastal waters and on the Irish Sea. Winds may touch violent storm force 11 for a short time between Carnsore Point and Valentia.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,693 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Rains stopped now in cork city and wind isn’t too bad. Going to be interesting to see the change later on.

    must be an oversight by met eireann.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,984 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    I think there will be a few casualties due to the freezing rain in the north of England, given the time of year, and some people just don't take heed of weather warnings.

    Currently calm in cork city Northside no rain. My husband has just gone out with his mother to do the shopping,I reckon it will be very different weather on their return. They still don't believe what I'm saying about this evening. This is going to catch alot of people off guard due to the timing, they will say let's head out after lunch sure isn't it fine!

    I think it may also be because a lot of the storms with alerts we have had recently have been during the night / in the morning so people saw that it was issued, it was windy and wet this morning, calm now so it must be over even though the worst is to come.

    Fastnet has seriously ramped up in the last 20 minutes. Was gusting 24kt in last report I saw. Now gusting 74kt!

    And that applies to all coastal areas. The gale does not just stop at the edge ;)

    OK I was only giving my opinion, belmullet will record it and I believe it won't be in warning territory.

    Calm in Lucan, Lashing in Bray. Was a fun drive on the m50, people doing their usual efforts to save their headlights and driving into torrential rain at high speeds.
