    Not having a go, but it's not a 4m swell in the Irish sea yet. Overestimating.

    Ah ok that's what the captain told them before departure

    Wind significantly picking up here in last few minutes on coast outside Kinsale. We are in a pretty exposed place so we are used to wind most days. Compared to the wind we are used to here, using a scale out of 10, I’d say we are currently at about 4 or 5 out of 10.

    Is it that bad there?

    No not really. Stiff breeze.. but I'd say trees in full leaf hit lines somewhere..


    But it is ramping....

    Still not too bad on the west cork coast either, wet and the occasional gust but not that strong of a gust either.

    Over 2 mid August nights in 1988 RTE showed 'Cylone Tracy' the documentary/film apout the Cyclone which hit Darwin, Australia early Christmas morning 1974. Great viewing, highly recommend watching.

    Kinsale Platform still east southeast at the moment so low centre to its south

    Pressure @ 984.4hPa down 3.1hPa in just 1 hour

    Low centre must be close to 980hPa now.

    I was in west Cork all day (back in Cork suburbs now). It was perfectly still on Mizen head at 4pm. Amazing really.

    I’ve a round of golf booked in Waterville in the morning. Nobody rang me yet from the club about a cancellation or anything. I presume it will be ok to go ahead? I love a bit of wet and windy links golf. Due to tee off at 9am.

    Could any of the weather boffins give me some advice? If not then I’ll stick to the pub tonight and drink a dozen pints.

    Wind's blowing down the chimney now in Corofin Co Clare.

    Usually happens when it's offshore.
    Not too strong but noticeable none the less.

    It's in a holding pattern at 6,000ft, no intention of going to Shannon or landing yet, simply holding.

    Do both. Those tricky four footers much easier with a hangover
