    Sadly sat24 is about to be put out of action from the arrival of the pitch darkness.

    Only if you are looking at the visual. Go to IR. That works in the dark and is clearer.

    No I didn't think you would..ignorance is bliss I believe. Stay safe in the storm out there & watch out for the mind your head signs...

    Still no clearer what you are on about, and it appears neither do you.

    No that is a reasonable risk - whatabout answer and the roads are a lot safer now as well

    Roads around me are same as they were 20 years ago, but way more traffic. So far more dangerous.

    People are getting well confused. The initial warning for the first wave of wind and rain generated the orange warning has passed for most of the country. That was the initial wind and rain today.

    The passing of the storm tonight is going hit North Western counties worst. Winds while high for the rest of the country probably aren't going to reach warning levels.

    Rain warnings are still in effect for the whole country.

    That's my reading of it anyway.

    What is with people who are dismissing this storm before it has even made landfall ? Surely people can understand the need to warn people and keep people safe before the sea becomes a danger ?

    The forecaster who cried wolf is the one who reds everything that comes. The orange and yellow status areas will likely deliver the wind gusts you'd expect from those warnings. Only thing I'd change is the wind speeds in each colour slightly to make them slightly less common which probably would still produce the orange wind speeds in the areas pegged.


    I AM SUPPOSED TO BE IN AN ORANGE ALERT AREA & wind is hardly moving & even the sun was out. (sorry capslock was on)

    How is it turning in to a flop when the orange warning is in effect 40 mins now and has another 11 hours 20 mins to go????

    The sea only effects a tiny part of the orange alert area.

    Its trees down and power cuts that would be a bigger issue. And I can't see much of that happening in the Limerick and Kerry orange alert areas.

    You’d be surprised, ground saturation makes it lot easier for posts and trees to fall over in strong winds.

    Not if they are just scare mongering (like if u cut your hand & the doctor said we might have to amputate that & u have only a minor cut.) thats what they are doing sometimes with the weather

    Yeah orange alert here and dead calm right now but looking at hourly forecasts it won't kick off properly until midnight and then it will pretty much rage through the small hours of the morning.

    Nice sunny evening out there.
    Little bit of a breeze.

    We could do with more of these hurricanes.

    Looking at the visible satellite...

    It's still off the west coast?
    Did it not track inland at all?

    Yellow warning for rain.

    From following the experienced people on the technical thread.

    The media have hyped this to the last.

    RTE live now from Killybegs and it looks like a perfectly calm evening.

    One trawler hasn't bothered returning to shore.

    Live from Kerry now and its a perfectly calm evening, almost one hour into an orange alert.
