    Sure once you know where to get one of the finest boilers in the world, you've made it

    The watch and phone measurements of barometric pressure both say 964 here in Castletroy Limerick.
    Darwin bottomed out at 959 iirc on the watch.
    (Obviously not calibrated, but close enough for indicative stuff)

    Actual wind is gusty but not epic (yet), can hear some gusts coming.

    Strange, the DL Harbour weather station is giving Force 7 gusting Force 10 from the SE, perhaps you are sheltered from that direction.

    Yes I am more exactly in Deansgrange just under a ridge from the DL Harbour side of things. In the national scheme of things that didn't seem so important when I posted but locally it makes a massive difference.

    The Canadians they make great boilers. Great to put on on a night like this to make a cup of tea. Or coffee. Indeed any beverage or some quick stir about porridge..

    Doesn't look like it hit any building anyway, over 500m tall so hopefully not!


    Winds picking up again in west cork as per the Union Hall post above so moving eastwards it seems. Mental, wasn't expecting this here.Not sure if its just the fact of being right next to the coast or what but having fun trying to open my velux windows and failing. Its like a game now, me vs ellen

    Wasn’t too bad on the Northside of cork city except for that brief 10/15 minutes so of crazy gusts. Has calmed down now again
