Sitting here looking out at the marina in Grand Canal Dock, D2. Boats are dancing in the wind. trying not to stand on each others toes. Lots of spray in the air. Thought it was a fire earlier it was that bad. New building soundproofed, so cant really hear outside. Watching the ripples along the water, less than 2 metres away from where I am. Waves building along the water, and watching it cleanse itself, by pushing all its rubbish towards the grand canal basin.

No wonder there is such a big wind field with hurricane force winds at Fastnet Rock.

Hurricane force winds at fastnet are by no means unusual.

Ha that squall line has just hit me and put out my satellite for a moment! The coax is hanging on for dear life.

Squall line just passed through (SW Laois), definitely the most intense wind gusts of the day so far but nothing exceptional.

Had one intense blast of thunder and lightning then a deluge of rain and hail that blow off again as quickly, few minutes ago- Kilkenny

Weather worsened slowly all morning here at work in West Waterford, finally coming to a head when the squall line passed over about 15 mins ago. For a few minutes it was absolutely horrendous, but now it's just a bright, breezy day. I'm glad we didn't have to face what the west/NW coast is after taking.

I think I'll head home at lunchtime and see has anything come down - I left the dog in charge.

Wind died off there for about 20 minutes but is back now here in Laois with that driving 45 degree rain. Road looks like a river outside.

Downpour in Kilkenny City, some seriously heavy rain and a mighty flash of lightening and rap to thunder to boot...

At the rate the squall line is moving, would say most of Kildare will get the severe storm conditions being reported from points west around 1:30 to 1:45 pm, Laois and Carlow more like 1:15 to 1:30. Then into Dublin and Meath by 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. ... effects of mountains for Wicklow coast may be to split the feature so that they get two squally intervals.

Currently thinking that round two for parts of the northwest will not be quite as intense as the first part of the storm although close perhaps. That second round will only be a bit of an afterthought for west Munster and south coast.

That's a visualisation tool, it was never intended for accurate meteorological observations!

When is this expected to peak and recede in Dublin, please.

Only difference is its raining now, but early sat morning seemed stronger when I was out running.

I don’t agree, the wind is frighteningly loud now. ( South Dublin)

Very calm and clear in east Co. Galway, is that the worst gone past so? Can I relax wondering when the electricity is going to go?

In Leopardstown, fairly windy and the rain is almost horizontal. The building is well soundproofed so can't hear the wind but the trees around the golf and racing courses are moving.
Husband in Meath also reports it's fairly windy. Cats are not impressed but then they rarely are.

Honestly either I'm just lucky or that's a very geo-isolated moment. It's very underwhelming so far, it's a winter storm but subjectively nothing atypical.

Space of 10-15 minutes or so. Seems like a lot of the country is getting hit with a short intense burst. Obviously coastal areas are getting battered more consistently but I'm kind of hoping to catch a squall but I'm in the IFSC so doubt there'll be anything spectacular.

Post above shows Saturday gusts were stronger. Could be just the direction the wind is coming towards you.

The squall line passed over Clonmel about half an hour ago. All of sudden, torrential hail, massive lightning directly overhead out of nowhere, electricity immediately went out, lasted for five minutes. Since then, drizzle and calm.

If you're in the path of that squall line, you're in for a treat.

Just arrived in kanturk after driving from dublin.
Took about 3 hrs.
6/10 for danger
7/10 for general unpleasantness
Some crosswinds and plenty of sheets of water on the M8 southbound.

Dublin 18 is pretty bad now

Super-Rush

Our building was hit by lightning about 15 mins ago in Kilkenny in the middle of a deluge of rain. Calm now.

Scary sh1t.

Yeah, weird that the wind map showed what conditions were like at least an hour ago

Windguru has it peaking at midday and decreasing from then. Not sure how accurate this is!!
