My biggest concern with these winds is that like a similar event back in the early 10s, that the now budding green leaves will be turned black once again and leave us with another colourless summer ahead, just as we are coming out of what was a colourless winter and spring.

Huge amounts of leaf loss here in South Dublin, the ground is like autumn with the amount of them.

10am
Belmullet gusting 53 knots
Mace head gusting 53 knots.

Lots of power out across Mayo along with various roads closed due to fallen trees.

122kph gusts here just outside Newport, Mayo. Looks like a high end yellow for here at least.

It’s a nasty morning here very wild and wet.

Wet and wild in Castlebar, we have had a max gust of 114 km/hr so far and Newport had one of 119 km/hr earlier, currently 500 houses without power.

SleetAndSnow

Gusting to about 76km/h here in cork city now. Sounds a lot stronger with the leaves in full tree! Leaves everywhere!

Crikey very little. Our garden badly needs some rain, thought we might get more than what fell last night and the wind has quickly dried everything. Week ahead looks very dry too in the east

Gusting 77kmh SW here in Arklow in last 10 minutes

Badly needed rain and wind last night in Leitrim.
But what was more interesting was at 2.20am we awoke to what sounded like a jet engine starting up outside the house. Lasted about 2 or 3 minutes. The noise was unbelievable.

Gusting consistently over 40 knots here. The Atlantic, having abandoned us for the last 6 weeks or so, has burst in the door like a raging drunk.

Belmullet gusting 61 knots (113 km/h) @ 8am

Garden was wrecked this morning after waking up. One of my hedges was badly damaged by the wind!! And it survived Ophelia, and countless winter storms over the years. East Cork.

Clonmel1000

Totally get the need for some rain but having been out running in that this morning enough already! Wild wet cool. Flowers and garden furniture blown over don’t want to see a morning like it until about October!

Slashermcguirk

Beautiful blue skies here in Dublin this morning but windy. Don’t know what rain fell overnight but roads and footpaths dry this morning. Presumably the wind has dried the ground quite quickly.

lottpaul

Wild for most of the night in west Kerry - still very windy now - trees bending and waving around. No sign of anything easing - as squally as ever. No rain at present.

Stopped raining in cork city but gusts have returned! Kind of nice to hear while laying in bed

Absolutely pouring down in wicklow town. So nice to listen to!

Gonzo

still pouring here, certainly the biggest soaking we've had since early March.

Donegal Storm

Wild night up here, wind roaring through the trees and rain beating against the window

Rain getting a little more moderate now in Kildare. 1mm I’m the gauge,

I can hear the plants screaming “More More More!”
