Athy doesn't have a Met Eireann station for wind speeds.

Unless you mean Athenry?

Mullingar is a relatively sheltered location, if they break 100 km/hr it will probably indicate 120-140 at more exposed inland locations.

I would say top gust of 132 km/hr at Casement, storm track may not produce for mace head which is often a top contender but if strongest winds go a bit further north than most guidance, then mace head would likely get to 150, some exposed location not at a weather recording site probably will.

Athenry 122kmph, I hope that's the max anyway since I live near the weather station.

Mount Dillon could be a decent contender based on current observations in the athlone area. Don't know how far north this storm has pushed

Athenry with 115 kmh, I believe, but should have confirmation tomorrow.

M.T. Cranium

Galway marine institute was up to 148 km/hr. I would consider it a credible observation even if not an "official" one.

Their page ENVIROFI (marine.ie) says it's on a roof, so likely to be an erroneous reading.

M.T. Cranium

and/or a damaged roof. :)
