Strong winds approaching now that will sweep across the country. Nice and bright and windy here near Tralee with big convection about.

Severe wind gusts are possible in central, southern and western areas, especially near squally showers. Also the chance of isolated tornadoes.

Same. We must be in the slack gradient at the moment between the two lows mentioned by M.T. Cranium.

SleetAndSnow

That was a wild night! Still gusty this morning, clear skies though there are dark clouds to the west. Could hear the roof tiles rattling most of the night, especially 2-3 and then 5-6 also. No damage thankfully

Storm 10

Wild enough in the early hours in Galway for a while there was thunder and lightning around 2am in a very heavy shower very quite at the moment heavy rain moving in from the West.

Seems to be a covering of snow on the Galtees to lower levels, someone nearer might have pictures.

Mace Head always gets very high wind readings, especially in a NW wind, it's a little flat peninsula sticking out into the sea with little to diminish the flow of wind. Looking at the 6z models, the low is a bit more elongated to the North and maybe not as potent? I seem to remember this happening last year with a little system too, where the low moved a bit north and lost shape as it reached Ireland. The odd gust but nothing crazy 15km inland in Mayo right now.

12 counties overall removed from the wind warning this morning so yeah definitely were changes. The red marine warning was downgraded just before midnight as well.

What a disaster of a forecast,just as well they didnt name it. All oranges warnings removed now including orange and red marine warnings

just a regular windy day here in Mayo.

Doctors room ghost

Wind is gathering now again east Galway.

pauldry

This is just a fast moving jet really. Very hard to pick down winds but some respectable gusts so far. I'd say after midday to 5pm sligo will hv gusts of 90 to 110 kph in a direct NW wind so dangerous enough.

Cluedo Monopoly

Yes, the most noticeable thing so far in this region is the wind chill, as you say otherwise it's just a standard windy day. You may have heard it said once before, but if only this was two months ago we'd be likely having heavy snow on lower ground now instead of cold rain.

Biden won’t be travelling to Louth by helicopter because of the weather. Motorcade it is.
