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.

I'm a weather novice so excuse my ignorance but how can they get it much worse than us from the same storm

Presumably the heaviest bands of rain were centred up the irish sea and drifted across into Wales.

All sorts of weather in my area today. Sunshine, wind, rain, hail and some thunder and lightning as well. The only things missing are snow and sleet.

A strong positive lightning strike of 48 kA near the Pigeonhouse Chimneys in Dublin. Anyone see it? There was an even stronger one of 81 kA near Castleisland in Kerry. Click on each strike here to see details.

I was beside Sean Moore Road but only noticed a general flash of lightning, there was a rumble of thunder in the middle of the hailstones shower.

I got caught out in that shower, lots of sleet and it and it turned more towards snow at the very end.

We havent had this much thunder and lightning in years, was going through the night with storm ciara and again last night with dennis. Some sleep would be nice.

It's absolutely ridiculous that in the year 2020 they have to take down old warnings for a period of time to update them, or at the very least whoever is doing the updating doesn't know how to do it properly.

Nope cancelled as I said.

It feels like Wales and parts of England have caught the worst of this.

We've gotten off very lucky relatively speaking. I was watching Sky News and they had a reporter in a town somewhere( the name escapes me) but she was reporting live and she was standing on one of the few places of high ground in the town. The rest was flooded and flooded badly.

Wet snow on hills here in Kilkenny.

Any word from Graces7? Hope she's safe & well.

You just caught me as I sign off... I think I posted early today but am rapt reading all the wonderful accounts of hail the size of marbles! WOW! Great thread this is! Thanks all...

All is well here; noisy but safe. Occasional hail and constant high wind.

Stay safe; and thank you! The coverage here has made the day.

Casement recording a strong gust of 61 knots(113km/h) in the past hour

That would make it the highest gust at Casement since Storm Dirty Diana on 28 November 2018 (62 kts).

Dirty now in North Donegal.

Windy enough, but not stormy. Just wet and dark.

Weather hasn't been too bad so far in Castlebar today. Their was some hail overnight which caused a racket hitting off the bedroom window. Yesterday was horrible, with a lot of heavy rain.

A couple of rumbles of thunder and a max gust of 106 km/ hr around 07.00 has been the best of it so far today.

Bumpy landings at Dublin today.

"Windshwar warning: Moderate windshear on approach to Runway 28 reported at 13:52, an Airbus 320 gained 10 knots and lost 15 knots at 500 ft."

Experienced this in an ATR at Cardiff in 2008 where aircraft ended up briefly facing opposite direction, man behind screaming, older pair of pilots later chuffed at their superb landing.

Power gone here in Kildare since the last shower.

Seems too that there have been a short hold on flights landing in Dublin whilst the worst was happening as per my aviation apps.
