On today's show, Hannah visits Clare

Oscar Bravo · 26-04-2019 12:28PM

Cork airport TAF continues to downgrade, only forecasting max gust of 56 knots now.system is moving north

pad199207 · 26-04-2019 12:28PM

Chatting to my uncle there who lives right beside the cliffs in Liscannor. Safe to say they are nervous!

JanuarySnowstor · 26-04-2019 12:28PM

Kerry looks to be hit hard I can only assume Kerry and Cork will be added to red later

aisling86 · 26-04-2019 12:28PM

Probably miss cork now after all the build up! Just shows how unpredictable it is.

JCX BXC · 26-04-2019 12:28PM

Oh great! Clare!

Obviously met eireann models see it tracking further north. For Darwin counties were added at the last second so becoming a nowcast.

pad199207 · 26-04-2019 12:33PM

Gusts to 150KPH and trees practically in full leaf. Jeesh it’s going to be nasty. ESB going to be busy I’d say.

Damokc · 26-04-2019 12:34PM

I presume Kerryhead area will get the same battering as Clare then!

So only orange for Cork....don't know why I'm slightly jealous of Clare....:pac:

jasper100 · 26-04-2019 12:35PM

This warning system is a farce. I cant see how somewhere like killaloe in a red zone will be impacted more than say ballybunnion or the aran islands.

How can doolin be red and 6 miles away out in the sea the aran islands not?

They need to be more specific, west clare, north kerry, north clare etc.

I was waiting for you to surface. You are always giving out about Clare missing out, so your day has come!

If Clare are red,north Kerry will probably get the same battering as they will ..

I also think so, they are very close

Maybe they could use the Eircode system to pinpoint it..

I assure you we are a lot closer to the sea than six miles chief.

sryanbruen · 26-04-2019 12:39PM

These are the top 5 maximum wind gusts at Shannon Airport for April back to 1945 - posted about the 1947 one (which holds the Irish records for April at the same station) yesterday. Will Hannah beat any of these or at least fall within the top 10? More than likely in the top 10 I'd say.

1. 23 Apr 1947 - 89 knots
2. 13 Apr 1960 - 65 knots
3. 8 Apr 1962 / 5 Apr 1993 - 62 knots
4. 20 Apr 1947 - 61 knots
5. 5 Apr 1947 / 4 Apr 1962 - 60 knots

I really thought we were looking at a red for Cork and Kerry too - just seems bizarre that Clare is singled out.

Meteorite58 · 26-04-2019 12:41PM

ARPEGE 6Z

That is a big shift North, certainly is a nowcast.

okatied · 26-04-2019 12:42PM

Just off the phone to my parents who live on the tip of Loop Head. Not windy there yet but starting to rain.
Everything that can be tied down, has been tied down. I remember storms there when I was growing up. Power usually goes. We hated if it went for more than 12 hours cos our dad used to get us out to help him milk the cows by hand. So glad I'm living in a city now.

they must know something we don;t - yet! watching it creep nearer and nearer to Mayo... although we out here in the ocean are well "covered" by the orange marine.

No trees out here to be damaged as they got erased many decades ago by gales.

pad199207 · 26-04-2019 12:43PM

Right call for Clare. I’d imagine Kerry will be added later because for sure N Kerry will get similar violent conditions.
If I was in S Galway I’d also be prepared because another nudge north and that puts Galway into High end Orange/Red territory

Imagine the cliffs of moher this evening!

Someone telephone Trump about Doonbeg quick!

pauldry · 26-04-2019 12:44PM

I was looking at some charts and the isobar gradient seems to tighten specifically in one area due to low centre "pressing" it down..

Its a very small part of the chart but at the moment seems specifically to be headed towards Clare

Heading for a look to Doolin pier now, see how the sea looks.

leahyl · 26-04-2019 12:44PM

Seeing as its such a nowcast situation, could it shift south again? Clutching at straws here

Just trying to lighten the mood
