Storm Agnes Wed 27 Sept 2023.

Havent gone through the rest of the stread yet but there are still alot of leaves on the trees around here. Could see trees down

We're definitely like two different countries North and south. Met eireann have warnings for wind in munster and Leinster (no mention of ulster) and the met Office have a storm name and possible significant disruption to Northern Ireland .

From UK Met office - #StormAgnes with their model bringing the centre in over Ireland

Removed post - posted incorrect info

Yes easily red for Cork kerry and Waterford I keep saying this I know it's probably annoying but that's based on current models also i think the west be in an orange as well if that keeps up

To me GFS looking a little more north this evening

Ukmo looks further North and deeper to my untrained eye! Game on

This storm will be gone by Wednesday night

^^ (storm will be long gone by Friday) ^^

Storm Agnes looks capable of producing some coastal gusts to about 120 km/hr and inland southeast to 100 km/hr. UK track is a bit further north but similar intensity, would just spread potential slight damage a bit further inland if correct. Certainly a mid-range sort of event for that part of the country, will be mostly rainfall (locally 20-30 mm) as a concern north of track of low.

With the UKMO so bullish I’d assume they’ve got this, this time round?

jesus some models putting this at force 11/12 gusts in my neck of the woods, thats a bit concerning!

For the South Coast the main event for me is the strong Southerly which combines with torrential rain lunchtime Wednesday. A southeast strong Gale is a damaging one and also poor for flooding in Cork (backs up the tide). The wrap around Westerly afterwards looks tame enough. Warning wise I expect an orange in both wind and rain across the South Coast. The dangerous bit is it all happens mid afternoon when schools finish up etc. There's possibly an argument to keep schools closed for the day in Kerry, Cork and Waterford in conjunction with an orange. All just my opinion of course and I do like a ramp lol

Managed to get a pic of this on bbc weather and love the fact they included Ireland in this but baffles me that met eirrean didn't name it

I find them very slow to come out about how severe a storm can be they should be out of the blocks first better to have an early warning , fair play to all here who flagged this last week . No

1st September 2023: Met Éireann, along with the national weather services of the UK (Met Office) and the Netherlands (KNMI), has released the list of new storm names for the 2023/2024 storm season, which starts on Friday 1st September.

It s all been coordinated beween UK, Irish and Dutch Met offices, no need for anyone to be baffled 😄 First name is Agnes
