    hi all,

    I got an alert of a sudden gust of wind of 71kph at 2:45 am. There is branches all around my house this morning. Did anyone else get this? 4mm of rain since midnight also.

    Very windy this morning up here in North donegal.

    And heavy hail lying on some stretches of road. Like a real winters morning.

    Posted in the Spring thread about this too but we got battered in Oranmore Galway last night from 11-3am-ish. Was watching these squalls on the met radar. Powerful gusts and what sounded like hail. Bins all over the place in our estate this morning which is my litmus test for strong gusts!

    Geographically I find that being at the pointy end of Galway bay we sometimes get strange funneling of wind from between the Burren hills and Connemara Bens (just my theory), but sounds like it was more widespread last night.

    I second that. It was a little after 2, very strong wind and heavy rain hitting on the windows. A couple of alarms went off too.

    Was driving home last night around 3am I think it was. Really high wind and heavy hail for about an hour in North Dublin. You couldnt even see the road it was so heavy. Had to stop.
