Am I safe wearing a hat?

screamer

Next update of the main models will be 5pm so we won't know much more than we do already. Best advise I saw from Carlow weather guy was don't park cars overnight in areas prone to flooding! Goes without saying but I won't be surprised if we see floating cars tomorrow!

Only if you wear it down your pants

Will this storm be blowing offshore on the West coast ?
Its just I'm hoping to get a surf in this weekend...

An off shore on the western side makes the ocean flat calm, when there's a nice swell you'll get absolutely straight sets of wave's maybe every 15 minutes anything from 5 to 7 waves per set.

The easterly wind holds the wave's up until they hit the shore, enabling the surfer to get a good line along the wave.

When it's blowing onshore it's all choppy and messy.....

This may help with wind direction confirmation.

Apologies, I have deleted my "silly" question on the other thread.

Perhaps I can ask here and I will word it differently. Is there a formula for working out the weight required to secure an object in relation to its surface area and the projected wind speed.

Thanks in advance

In fairness that question still looks silly here:D

Mr.H

Same formula for gravity speed but change gravity to wind speed? Maybe?

Sure, what's the coefficient of lift of the object in question in the wind direction in question?

No, it depends on a lot of things... How heavy it is, the aerodynamics of the object, predicted wind direction. Just anchor it to the heaviest thing you can find.

Safe enough to travel within Dublin tomorrow between 7-9?

Should be o.k., but keep an eye on forecasts as a smaller secondary system may move up the Irish Sea tomorrow afternoon giving strong winds to the east coast.

When is this starting? No wind yet

Will it be windy enough for flying a kite?

Or will it be too windy?

Been a scorcher of a day here in Kerry.
Very balmy.

Cloud starting to form and the trampoline is in the shed. I'm on top of a hillso should be fun tonight.

I'll be on the bike at about 5 near the Dublin quays, so should start gusting at 5:01...

I'm due to fly from Kerry to Dublin at 7.30 am on Sat morning. How are things looking for Saturday? Any likelihood of flight cancellations then?

Anyone know when we will hear from the Emergency meeting? Was there a meeting before Ali?

Looks like the storm center is heading North.

So it should mostly miss us? Or is North earlier than expected bad?
