Getting absolutely smashed here in Mallow since 7pm. House is still rattling.

Brutal night in south limerick. Powerful gusts and rain.

Pretzill

I'm hoping the yellow warning has fizzled out. Calm here in South Sligo except for the occaisional downpour. Sometimes yellow warnings up here can feel more like orange but not tonight, thankfully.

Non Event in Cork city southside so far anyway. A bit blustery is all.

I dunno why kind of weather system ye have on the south side, we have had a light drizzle and nothing else all night

I think the wind has eased near Limerick city in the last hour but there is still the odd severe gusts around.

no.8

Great to hear ..... Must be wonderful to live in such a sheltered dwelling.

Not the same elsewhere

Doctors room ghost

Very windy with dirty showers in Galway.

Jojo37

Winds howling for the last few hours in North Cork. Lashing rain also. Thought it would have died down by now.

SlowBlowin

Has it stalled ? Going much slower than I expected.

I always see reports from you saying nothing is happening in Cork city, in contrary to other Cork posters especially during Emma last year.

It's like San Francisco Cork, very open and easy to take the wind head on....

shamrock55

God help us if this is what we class as a storm, few gusts in bantry, unbaton the hatches

Mortelaro

Quite windy in Arklow but steady 40 to 60kmh last few hours
A few in the 70's,highest 76
We are south of the low,so staying windy
No let up,but not severe
A squal associated higher gust is possible in the ongoing south of low shower train in the next few hours here

Any idea if its nearly passed?

SleetAndSnow

I'm the contrary, there are strong gusts, south side of cork city. There's a difference between "blustery" and the gust that is happening atm... Or else it's just very localised.. which I can't see being the case.. trees practically bending in the gusts here.

It will give one an idea of the progress of this. The strongest of the winds are to the south, southwest and west of the storm centre with the winds flowing in from a southwest, west and northwest direction accordingly.

Depending on your local terrain and geographical position, this storm will hit at different times as a result.

In particular I note the Cork City statements - those elevated above the city on the north side will have experienced the worst of the winds from a southwesterly direction mainly so far. Those on southside hills will be wondering what all the fuss was about. Later in the night, the northside will feel alot has died down while their southside counterparts will think things are finally happening, this is down to the terrain of the city, higher land between you and the prevailing direction will mean the wind, quite literally, blows over your head.

The best way of understanding this is to understand the way wind circulates around a passing storm and how the local hills affect this.

In my own neck of the woods, river valleys and upland areas play a vital role in this - not just during wind events, but shower formations, frontal rain events, snowfall and frost too.

It's what makes the weather an interesting thing to observe, because it differs so much from district to district.

It’s absolutely bitter here in cork city. Christ there’s a cold wind.

Dank Janniels
