Well thats above forecast!

Douglas looks to have lost power too.

Only by 4 knots (as per TAF) and 54kts is only 100km/h, well within a yellow warning.

Think about this logically, has a marginal wind event ever lasted 36+ hours?

No disruption to flights in any airport other than Shannon also.

Big gust of wind here in South Dublin just now

never said it was above a yellow, wasn't it meant to reach 50kts at about 4am? Still learning how to read these TAF's

Does this wind have a name? or is it not classified as a storm. just strong winds?

Yeah strange that

This is stronger than anything the last year up in Donegal that had a name attached to it.

It's probably not going to hit Dublin as bad then.

Now lads i'm from Dublin too.

No, from 9pm-11pm.

The remark about it being within yellow was not at you, but directed at another user who said it's at least orange in Cork.

Cold front has moved through perhaps?

I'd say so, I doubt the previous max of 66kts will be topped tonight, still going to be a wild night though in some parts.

Sorry. Logic goes out the window when it comes to me and flying. Such a wimp

Fairly wild here in Laois , loud gusts . Was out in the car about an hour ago , lots of small branches , debris on the road .

Monkeynut

Starting to get rough here in south Carlow. My house is fairly sheltered in a hollow with trees around, must be rough up on high ground.

A lot of trees down in County Sligo. Sligo County Council crews are busy tonight.

Xenji

Malin Head gusting 106 km/hr on the 23.00 report, most stations now seeing a drop in gust speed abeit still over or close to 100 km/hr.

holliehobbie

My mum just rang from Dundalk to say they have no electricity. Wasn't the wind though as they heard thunder so a generation possibly hit by lightning.

That's the problem with northern wind's, it blow's the tree's at a different direction, even though a tree surgeon might have cut the sail for the Westerlies and south Westerlies...
The north will batter them.

SlowBlowin

Been calming down for 45 minutes in Kerry.

We didn't have any sharp gusts, just slow increases in wind speed over about 30 seconds. the winds were very sustained.

power went off a couple of times, but back now.

600 ft ASL MacGillycuddy's Reeks - North of Sneem - Kerry

Now its starting to pick up in swords. My giant Jenga set out the back has fallen over.

Akrasia

Gusts 109kph outside Ennis. Nothing to write home about yet

JanuarySnowstor

Lots of power cuts across the country with over a 1000 in Cork alone. Worst storm of the winter here.....even though it wasn't named.

I think that's force 13 on the beaufort scale

yes its the worst so far but it hasn't gone above the yellow criteria at any station as far as I can see. Storms are only named at Orange level.

Both Malin Head and Mace Head gusted over 120 km/hr putting them firmly in Orange territory.

Meteorite58

Gusts so far and the track of the Low bringing down the strong N'ly winds.

2013Lara

Can hear it picking up in coastal Wicklow now.

weatherfiend

Been very wild here in Sandyford since 10.30 or so. Also feels very cold when I let the dogs out just now, though temp saying 4.3 - feels colder

superdog

Whereas the strong winds earlier were coming from the North, it appears to be coming from a more WNW direction now, in North Co Westmeath when the dog was brought out to go to the toilet.
