Storm Hannah : Fri 26 - Sat 27 April 2019

Meteorite58 · 2019-04-24 13:10:24

Time to start a thread for the potentially stormy weather in the SW for Fri /Sat coming. Bit of a spread on the models yet which is to be expected at this stage but it is being well flagged for a number of days now. Warning levels will probably change upwards as we get closer to the event. EDIT: Updated Fri 16.11 STATUS…

I'd say it could actually be a combination of wind burn and some frost too. The nights have been colder lately. Had some sycamore saplings that were damaged also.

It's that time again.

Here's the maximum 10-minute mean wind speeds for selected Irish stations during Storm Hannah in comparison to other named storms.

Added Newport to the table due to request.

In terms of the false readings, the historical database gives the same max wind gust for Cork Airport of 63 knots (117 kph) that was reported in synops and yesterday's weather on met.ie a few weeks ago when we initially had the event and I did my storm comparison table. So I'm not sure about this.
