A few vigorous gusts in mid-Clare, but nothing unusual to be honest. Regard it is as a standard winter storm, the red warning surely only applies to immediate vicinity of coast. Around midday, the local shops were clogged with people rushing to buy "emergency" provisions. Met Éireann need to doctor their warnings system to exclude county boundaries, accuracy as number one priority.

There is a specific thread for whinging about the warning system, perhaps you should go use it.

Your quote was probably not really intended to be in that post, did one of them quote you? I wouldn't take that as directed at you, just some accident of the multi-quote perhaps?

I was quoted aswell

Very crude, childlike example but something like this would work far better in my opinion, because its just basic common sense.

Landed on the shorter Runway 25, another ATR from Birmingham following it in now. Meanwhile RYR14NB from Stansted is in the hold to the north of Cork Airport and it looks like RYR4776 from Manchester to Shannon is off to Dublin after two missed approaches at Shannon.

Yes, the warnings should be based on geographical regions not political boundaries.

Just did my drive, as far as Liscannor now.
This place is epic, cars shaking.
Pebbles flying through the air.
Up high along the cliffs of moher its car shakingly serious.
Back to Doolin ypu couldn't walk into the wind.
The swells huge from Black head down.
There's a ship sheltering outside, its rocking.

There was a sleet blizzard between Corofin and Ballyvaughan.

I think it could be winding down soon.

Would love to see a dashcam video of that drive put to Kanye Wests " Flashing lights"

My apologies, though it was weather related. Will do that in future.

Its true, a system like the UK Met is more credible. I mean in the previous storm they posted an amber warning over the Welsh mountain ranges that looked like a mickey.

Or how about people just not react completely disproportionately to a red warning of 4 hours duration. The advice was perhaps consider staying in for the afternoon, not clear the shelves.

It is weather related, so feel no need to apologise.

Ya,as the crow flies there are parts of North Kerry that would be very close to Clare so as one of the lads said last night when we were chatting about a red warning for Clare we were saying why wasn't Kerry included

Its wild enough here now

After an hour or so of relative calm while pressure was at its lowest (around 962hPa),and the temp. creeping up to 5,8º, it is now blowing roaringly hard again close to Westport. Pelting rain sideways with current temp. 5,3º and barometer 963hPa, rising slowly.

And barely a breeze only a few miles north close to Newport. I'm sure it'll pick up again soon thought.
