Bring it on?

I'll let someone better qualified to do the technical thread.

Looks like lasting about 4 days as its progress bogs down south of Iceland - around 945 mb at the peak.

Much worse than Storm Ciara, very high gusts here and the rain is bucketing down, a day for the high stool as the saying goes. South Co Limerick.

Windy but not much rain so far here in meath, expected more rain then we have got so far

A dirty enough day at Dublin Airport. It was announced that some flights were running late due to strong winds.

Hopefully you are in a boat?

Seeing now that flights are being cancelled in Dublin Airport.

We are due to fly out if Dublin to Edinburgh on Tuesday morning at half 6 in the morning.

Should we be concerned or should it be dying off at that stage?

Thanks

Extremly windy atm with gusts which can be felt in the house. North Cork.

Flights from the US to Heathrow arriving on average 1 hour ahead of schedule from a quick look at a number of flight info websites

Cork Airport - planes arriving and departing

Even on a normal day, the early morning TATL arrivals can be an hour early! So much slack built into the schedule.

Dublin airport facing delays due to the use of RWY16, aircraft not having much trouble landing or taking off though.

Ah here, read the forecast!

A storm does not last 4 days, and cancellations on a Saturday don't affect your flight on a Tuesday.

Rain easing off in Galway. Somewhat windy but nothing abnormal yet.

Was watching to see flight speeds. Some flights getting near maximum speed recorded last week . Jet stream helps!

Hurling schools games in Munster called off at the last minute,you would wonder why they didn't make the call yesterday,everyone knew today was going to be a horrible day

Yep. Quite a distinctive feature on radar at the minute.

20mm now here near Tralee. light to moderate rain atm, winds have eased to a 10 min avg of 23 km/h

Road conditions bad around Tralee, lots of small floods and water pouring out of fields. Saw a couple of manhole covers damaged where the water burst up.

EDIT: a heavy burst of rain again.

A beauty.

So far thunderstorms staying mainly off the coasts.

Was watching some of the activity around 16 earlier and it was most impressive. An Air Canada A330 to YYZ took off with truly spectacular rocking and rolling.

An incoming Stobart got my outstanding airmanship award for its almost perpendicular approach and graceful landing. I'm raging I didn't film that one

Busy couple of days ahead for ESB network crews. Incident reports totting up in Munster/South Leinster.

Are we becoming apathetic to weather warnings?

Had a bit of a lull with the wind and rain in waterford but its back with the rain. Not sure if that squall line will hit us

Sunny in Dublin! Mental winds though. Is there much rain due for the capital?

[Deleted User]

Tweet from person in Laois. Fair amount of rain coming down in that squall line.

Nothing much to report in Letterkenny, just another miserable washout of a day
