Seems as will verify as a yellow wind event for many counties.

Dont remember anything overly dramatic being forecast

There are some heavy gusts here in North Clare today. I think it’s one of the more potent storms that has come this way in the past year. It’s as bad now I think as it was at 6AM this morning. I’d venture it’s worse actually so the warnings seem a little off for here at least.

I think many people were caught out in that we haven't had a decent storm for a long time. There is a lot of rubbish and stuff blowing around people's gardens including my own!

Has calmed down a good bit in Galway now but can get gusty in the squally showers.

Mace Head hit 117 gust at 11am. Athenry seems to be on the blink but is now recording 60s or 70s only.

Some large branches broken of trees around Galway racecourse damaging the perimeter fencing and blocking the ambulance road, not sure what time of the day it happened.

Definitely bit of everything today. Windscreen frozen at 645. Cold and dry morning. One manky afternoon of rain now and fairly blustery.

Dark and baltic out. 7⁰ Meath

Heavy rain and blustery in South Wicklow now. Nothing crazy wind-wise but forecast to peak in the next 1-2 hours according to Met Eireann. Be glad to see the back of this system and look forward to some warmth and sunshine next week.

Wind has arrived in Greystones. Gusting 45 knots atm.

Most stations gusting over 70kmph at 5pm, Roches Point recorded an average of 74 and gust of 102, several over 80kmph, not often you see Belmullet one of the lowest on 69, shock to the system for a lot of the country today. Mostly clear skies in West Mayo since 3 or so.

very wet earlier. but seems to have blown through pretty quickly here in sw donegal.

Max. wind gusts for Irish stations as of now with Storm Noa. I also threw in Hannah from April 2019 as it was the most recent April named storm, rather than the big storm comparison table which I will reserve now for more significant events.

As anticipated, the vast majority have had wind gusts that do not reach yellow warning territory and any orange warranted gusts have been on exposed coasts. Hannah was generally more of a notable event than Noa relatively speaking.

*Durrow figure is not confirmed.
