    Squall line has passed Waterford city, back to your normal windy day now. Will wait for the 1.30 reports to see if 61kts was exceeded.

    At the rate the squall line is moving, would say most of Kildare will get the severe storm conditions being reported from points west around 1:30 to 1:45 pm, Laois and Carlow more like 1:15 to 1:30. Then into Dublin and Meath by 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. ... effects of mountains for Wicklow coast may be to split the feature so that they get two squally intervals.

    Currently thinking that round two for parts of the northwest will not be quite as intense as the first part of the storm although close perhaps. That second round will only be a bit of an afterthought for west Munster and south coast.

    Thank you as always MT for this update.

    We will be collecting our lads between 1.40 to 3pm and it’s good to be prepared in the event of one of these squalls. You said it will pass Meath (Bettystown) Batween 2-2.30 so Ive taken measures to be ready. Even just knowing it gets intense for a few minutes and then passes is helpful.

    I’ve also warned friends who maybe collecting children. You would br worried sitting in a car waiting for that to pass if you didn’t know it was only for a few mins.

    I just got in from Seville. We even got the Yer Early klaxon. I think we might have beaten the worst of the gusts that MT is talking about. Good pilots and great systems make flying into bad weather look waaay easier than the experience might otherwise be. Clearly, we had a very good one today. I've seen waaaay more adverse effects of big wind at manys an Ard Fheis over the years. ..

    Now we just need to face the journey down the Wesht. ..

    Be safe y'all. And Micky, give them pilots a bonus for their great work on days like this...

    Squall line just went through Carlow town, intense rainfall for a few minutes, 98kmh gust at Oak Park before it hit so interesting to see next update.

    Was that it? Was expecting worse from a squall line i.e thunder etc. Is that the worst over now for Carlow or is the second band later coming this far east?

    Just back from the Prom in Galway. As wild as I've seen it in a long time. A genuine struggle walking with that squall blowing in from the sea. No-one else to be seen (Not even the hardy Jehovah's ;-) )...Has calmed down considerably now.

    Always hard to get these things right. I fear parts of the west got hit hard, but Dublin was just a bad day. Nothing special compare to other winter days in the past.

    That's a bit disappointing, as i was hoping with the low moving away we might get even stronger winds for a time. It's just a pity the low did not track a bit closer to us. I know a lot of people will be thankful it did not.

    Got one big rap of thunder and about a 3 minute hail shower here in Wexford seems to have passed over now.

    Hoping for stronger winds..... Obviously you don't have anything to worry about!

    From radar would say it's a broken squall line meaning it has some gaps that are not that intense. Expecting some reports of damaging winds in Wexford though.

    Earlier the Kinsale energy platform had gusts to 135 km/hr. That is of course some height above the sea surface. The M5 buoy was reporting gusts to 96 km/hr. Unfortunate that the M6 buoy has not been reporting wind data today. But its lowest pressure came around 1100h at 955 mb.

    The day is only halfway through, you know.

    The squall line is only heading for eastern counties now.

    Why the rush to be so smart?

    Again I said early sat morning, doubt you were playing early sat morning as it was still dark. From about 630 - 8 30 it was pretty bad.

    Looks like it. Meath, North Kildare, then Dublin & Louth possibly to get squall line conditions next.

    From the looks of details on 06z GFS there is one area of the core about 100 miles north of Belmullet now, where winds might be as strong as 80 knots. It is a good thing this didn't track any closer. When I say part two not as strong, still may be similar peak gusts but less squally so it may seem like it's not as intense.
