    Mace Head leading the way now with a gust of 124 km/hr on the 21.00 report with Malin Head at 122 km/hr, a lot of faults showing up in Cork and Kerry now as well.

    Highest gust in Castlebar so far was 98 km/hr.

    MÉ went the way of keeping this a yellow warning with the comment "may exceed these values in exposed coastal locations". Playing it safe no doubt and probably with good intention given the negative press over "unnecessary" warnings.

    That said, gusts already recorded well in excess of the last issued Orange warning.

    The take away is that impact based warnings need to come online. Yesterday.

    Yeah strange that

    This is stronger than anything the last year up in Donegal that had a name attached to it.

    Winds really starting to pick up in Cork City now. Feels quite strange given how calm it has been of late.

    Unless your flight arrives before midday, highly unlikely.

    Was thinking the same. Forgot what real wind was like.

    I’m close to the city centre and it’s stronger locally to me than the last orange warning was.

    just after picking up even more in Cork City. Had a gust hit my window (back of the house) died down for a minute, walked to the front of my house, opened my front window and it got slammed shut again, same with the front door when I tried that and its still gusting strong. I missed this weather during the high pressure.

    Front of my house is North Facing so it is veryyyy unusual to have the strong wind up there!

    Only just now died down again that was almost 5 minutes of strong wind there.

    Very windy in Cork, I wasn't expecting much with a yellow warning but the wind came on very fast and is very strong. I feel like I've seen weaker storms than this get an orange warning

    Yeah it went from pretty much calm to just a blast of wind out of nowhere and constant since. Surprisingly enjoying hearing it though :)

    Just two flights left due in to Shannon tonight one of which from Gatwick was circling around North Tipp at 15000ft for half an hour but now looks like its been diverted to Dublin. The other from Malaga probably destined to do the same.

    Getting gusty now. First big gusts of wind I have heard in weeks. Rain blowing against windows. Palmerstown, Dublin. There is an unusual feel to the wind... the unusual northerly direction. If its like this here in a housing estate on the east coast, it must be a rough night out west.

    Without power the last 2.5 hours here in rural north Kerry.
    10 outages in total showing on the electric Ireland fault map across the county, mainly along the coast.

    I missed that one, maybe diverting to Cork but from reports not going to be much calmer there.

    Nope, Lanzarote managed to land though so they may arrive just before it gets any worse!
