ECM 12Z
Very fast moving deepening system on it's approach towards the SW hitching a ride from the Jet. From what I can make out the disturbance is 984 hPa at 03.00 and 968 hPa at 21.00, drop of 16 hPa in 18hrs, not quite a bomb but a decent fast drop. Unpredictable , the fact that the stronger winds are predicted later in the day gives forecasters a bit of time to see which way this goes.

ECM 12Z
This last run sees the strongest winds graze the SW and showing some very strong winds in the W later that evening. ECM has upgraded the winds a lot in the last run bringing the system much closer to the coast.

ICON in between runs but they look similar , earlier had shown very strong winds (in the Red level ) over Atlantic coastal counties but has pulled this back now to more over the sea and up along the coasts so this now more in line with the ECM.

!CON 18Z looking extremly windy, has brought the strongest winds in overland again on this run.
Orange warning levels at least from Kerry to Donegal if this verifies. Showing very high gusts inland as well.
Will the other models follow suit.

ARPEGE 12Z just rolling out, bringing stronger winds in over Atlantic counties on this run, still not as strong as the ECM or ICON but stronger than the last run and stronger across the country gusting widespread up to 90 km/h
Currently up to 110km/h in coastal counties from Kerry up to W Donegal and possibly up to 120km/h on some coastal fringes.
Still not certain but I personally would be leaning between ECM and ARPEGE. In saying that I thought in the last couple of wind events, or near non events for many, ICON did very well especially in the last couple of runs.

EURO 4 I think tends to overdo it but even so looks extremely windy up along Atlantic coasts. Not showing the winds penetrate as far inland on this run but showing stronger winds in coastal areas.

ICON has toned down the wind speeds in the 21Z run.
Looks like it is falling more in line now with ECM and ARPEGE.

ECM 18Z has the system closer again, bringing a bit stronger winds into Cork on this run but probably keeping in the yellow level for the S and SW, as the wind core moves up along the coast possibly going higher for the W. All moving along very quickly.

Yes the ECM has eased off the wind by quite a bit, other models have eased the strongest gusts more to coastal areas but are still showing stronger than the ECM in general.
A cross between the ECM and ARPEGE perhaps.
ARPEGE probably a good average .

Interesting, Rural houses in Ireland tend to be front facing south, back to the north. The coldest house I ever rented bucked this trend. A modern build to face the road and impossible to heat ( up in the mountains) Its old ruined neighbour was in the north /south tradition,
Out here on the north coast shore, they built the ruined cottage next to me, 150 years old, gable ends north and south. Square on to the Atlantic gales And my demountable dwelling the same way.
The nearest house, a few hundred years away around the same era, , is the front to the south and back to the north tradition
As for trees.... all gone. A few stalwart fuschias un perturbed by wind direction.
One day I shall have a look at the other houses out here
