Starting to hear gusts now in Dublin, just as I'm heading for the leaba. Not expecting anything earth shattering enough to stop sleep!

Peak rain&wind is 0600-0800 for Dublin, so a while to go yet.

Orange Marine Warning - no need for thread to change as does not affect land

Storm Force = F10, 89-102km/h mean winds so not unreasonable to expect isolated gusts exceeding 130km/h over M2 buoy

Status Orange - Gale Warning
South to Southeast gales or strong gales tonight on all Irish Sea coasts and on the Irish Sea, possibly touching storm force locally in the East and South and in the Irish Sea. Winds abating from the West overnight and during Tuesday.

Sounds a lot wilder than it did at the weekend in South Kildare.
It seems to be picking up and I think it will stay strong until 5/6.

Irish Ferries operating 08.55 Ulysees from Dublin with 90 min delay

Inbound Stena operating at 03.00 ex Holyhead

lots of seasick passengers
lots of trucks heading to and from the ports between 0600-0800

This must be a very slow moving system, the worst winds have been sat on Kerry for about 6 hours now, its relentless. I would really like to share this with the rest of the country to so hoping it starts moving east soon.

Maybe it just seems slow moving because of its size.

The winds are still at their strongest, and its raining a lot heavier now, but we have power again.

Some very big gusts hitting Carlow now. Looks like its going to peak around 5/6am. A wild night. (Gusts loud enough to wake us up.)

Take care on roads in the early am. Could be quite a bit of debris/trees down after such sustained high winds throughout the night. I think Callum and Ali weren't even as strong and they left their marks locally. Will be interesting to see what max gust is at Villain's station tomorrow. (A little higher at this elevation i'd imagine.) Quite a howl and whistle outside.

I can hear stuff banging outside, just hope there is no damage.

Seems to be a lull now in N Kildare. Highest gust so far is 56mph. No substantial rainfall yet

Nothing untoward all evening in North Kildare. Quite windy but nothing compared to Deirdre. Having said that, the current trajectory of the wind means that I am being sheltered by a hill to my immediate south.

For Kildare^ it hasn't really started (0530+) and it won't be nearly as bad as actual coastal areas, unless elevated. But still worse than more central inland areas.

Thank goodness, all quiet at the moment in Kerry, I think its just slipped by us.

Off to bed now.
