Storm Lorenzo Chat Thread.

Oneiric 3

The suggestion was made earlier in the 'Lorenzo' thread to open up a separate thread for general discussion on this potential storm. I think this is a good idea as that thread is now incorporating both technical discussion and more banterish posts, which is making it harder to follow.

It is probably best if we keep the original thread where more technical discussions & charts etc can take place to allow people to have a quicker access to the latest thoughts on the storm, and keep this one for more general chit chat and reports etc.

Getting fiercer out here. Stronger and more sustained gusts.

So this will continue until the Orange warning takes over at 6 pm? Long night ahead. west mayo

So now we've gone from countrywide warning to "only the west" according to people on here. Way to make people not heed warnings in future if it's true..

Still a national yellow warning. In case you are not sure, a yellow warning is a "Be aware" warning. It does not forecast damage but aims to let people who may be more exposed or involved with weather dependent activities that they may need to take additional precautions etc.

If you go to https://www.met.ie/ you can click on your area on the map and get a decent forecast of how you may be affected. Joe.ie or "my-mate-said" is probably not the best way to inform yourself.

It was always a west event. Lorenzo coming in from the Atlantic... As the warnings clearly said,

North Kerry windy but nothing exceptional yet.
Been raining on and off all morning

Also in Sligo. Not sure how they’ve taken us off the yellow warning later looking at charts? Seems bad enough already.

Southeasterly gales in Sligo. Strong enough to bend trees. The problem is when it switches to the Northwest the trees will be looser.

in sligo too....coolaney...so mayo side of sligo....very surprised how strong wind has been already (2pm now)...10 hours to go before landfall off coast of mayo...this could be a tricky one alright.

Opening a separate chat thread was a dire mistake. At least when the charts etc were in it diluted the *****. Has made it into an AH type thread. with a few wonderful genuine posters fighting a rising tide. And no meaningful moderation?

Off back to the real thread!

The other thread is for technical analysis as per title. This is a chat thread

Mid Mayo area. Wind fairly picking up the last couple of hours.

With all due respect I don’t understand why people on the East coast are even commenting on here with weather updates. Saw a few posts on here from people describing the scene as they went to work. I’m guessing they do that every morning since essentially in Dublin the weather is not due to be anything out of the ordinary.

Sorry but the thread is just getting clogged up with weather updates from areas that aren’t due to be hit badly so what’s the point? It’s the west coast that will worse hit so it’s there that the updates of the conditions are actually relevant.

This is a chat thread, just skip by the ones that mention Dublin. It's hardly that much of an inconvenience.

Travelled to West Galway city from the East this morning and back again, it was fine on the way over and traffic was notably quieter enroute. Definitely more gusty on the way back, not consistent, just isolated bursts of gusts that aren’t too bad at all yet thankfully. A few wheelie bins have been knocked over on the road.

61km/h the Max gust so far at my Waterford station

Most inconsiderate of them. I'd try Met Eireann if you want updates.

Breezy in Galway thus far but nothing too strong. Seemed a little windier earlier. Not a bad day so far really. Some light rain.

When big wind?

They say yellow until 6pm today but it's nearly 2pm and it's calm and sunny in the midlands.

South Dublin wraps around the Dublin Mountains, depends on what part of the area you are in, the winds come from different directions in different strengths.

Very disappointing. Im sat at work and the roof is showing no sign of coming off. This is all Met Eireanns fault. &#55357;&#56834;
