    Some very strong gusts in D14 too- they do feel stronger than Ciara.

    A good deal stronger than Ciara here (in Dublin 16).

    No strong wind in Galway but plenty of rain with a heavy shower there that had the gutters overflowing for about 20 mins solid

    Is that what's called a Squall Line running through Ennis at the moment?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,033 ✭✭✭redsteveireland


    Sheets of constant heavy rain in east Galway and a strong wind driving it.every place already water logged.floods and water closhes everywhere.
    She’s down for the day too by the look of it.
    I’m mighty sick of this weather

    First band of rain forecast to clear Galway by 2 or 3 pm?

    Is it?

    Is a squall line not a line of intense thunderstorms? That's not what this is at all. Seems the term is very misused here lately!

    Squall line is heavy rain and strong winds not always accompanied by Thunder

    Fair, it's very hard to find a solid definition online.

    A Squall line can have thunderstorms imbedded in it also hail and strong winds.
    They can be just heavy rain and wind

    What's the outlook for Sligo tomorrow from 9am onwards? Will it mostly have passed by then or is there a chance of a further warning?

    Nothing issued on MET Eireann as of yet for past Saturday.

    Some decent gusts in Kildare now.

    Sounds like Leinster is getting decent Atlantic type winds, glad to share it around with ye! Not too windy in North Clare currently, a shocking amount of rainfall since early this morning though. Flooding will be inevitable.

    Dublin 2, Grand Canal Dock. Not bad here yet, some light rain and a bit of wind.

    Above was at 10am. Now it's quite blustery and raining heavily enough. A good kick out of him now! It's lovely and fresh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,114 ✭✭✭pad199207


    Really turned up a notch now in Kildare

    Going by GFS the mean speeds for North Clare will be pretty high but the gusts won't be as high as last weekend. Like last week though, the event is going to be a prolonged one.

    It is still soaking in out here and then flows to the nearby ocean. Soon there will be two small "lakes" at each end of the path where the raised concrete ends. No danger yet.
