Does this look bad this far out?
It's useless for the larger western counties.
I'm in North East Cork so a yellow in Skibb means nothing to me.
no, he's gone around... not having it.
It's raining here in Kildare...But not wild raining. I assume we will get hit once it works it's way up the country. Got my 11AM walk in before work today, I believe that was a good call!
Funnily enough I was up at about 6AM and it was dead still outside. Mad how it all just switches like that....
Just hearing the second flight coming in, quite loud. Best wishes landing.
Ya, I get that, just think the City here is going to be dangerous later if this continues. From what people were saying yesterday, peak was going to hit around 1 so if the worst is still to come, this could be a rough day.
Like it's a bit of a tough thing as whilst the red, orange, yellow warnings are done on weather metrics, companies and schools only really care if it's red. This is probably a day that people should be at home and schools closed (in Cork anyway)
My parents look after the kids in the city, so the kids go to school there. No way was I driving in to Cork, from Fermoy area, and them into school, in this.
I'm working from home and they are staying here
must depend where you are / quality of build ? can hear the wind clearly in our building - lights flickered a few times but remained on - trees outside are bearing the brunt of it - rain has eased but still steady. Going to do some work now !
Still above 3,000 ft and doing 107 kts over the ground!!
edit: just seen 93 knots at 2,500ft!!
Same in East Cork, Pv panels actually starting to produce some power.
heading to tramore in a couple of hours, should be a fun afternoon....

Very heavy rain in Waterford City. 11.7mm so far today. Wind gusting to 50km/h. Not looking forward to picking up the kids from school later. Its rough out there.
Ryanair 4156 is down and taxiing. Ryanair 901 seems to be lining up for another attempt and Aer Lingus 841 is inbound from Amsterdam. Too bad liveatc.net doesn't cover Cork anymore. Arrival & Tower radio frequencies must be interesting today...
Dammed if they do and dammed if they don't, they will never get it right for some people.
Ya, the wind doesn't seem so bad this morning so far (hopefully stays that way). Few gusts that you can definitely hear when they blow through
Just in the door and the heavens have opened, squall just hit. Checked waterford weather site and rain is 48mm/h! Went up to 51mm/h
Winds not so bad in Cork city at the mo and rain has temporarily eased.
The Malaga flight is safely down.
Hear that one overhead, must be landed now.
That warning system is an utter farce and is more designed around getting people to school/work.
I know it's a hard job but I think Met Eireann have got this wrong today. Unless they just got times wrong and this eases, this should have been red weather warning for rain here in Cork.
They will be off to Dublin or Shannon soon.
FR4156 going around again...and FR901 following after them. I wouldn't like to be doing laps of the city today on a plane!
holding at cork airport, gonna be a rough day there....
15 to 25mm in many parts of Cork. Saw a station in Skibereen with 44mm but not sure if that's verifiable.
Will likely be 60mm in much of Cork in a short time so flooding very likely.
Yeah, people's brains don't work that way, we basically assess a scenario and then make a judgement call to choose one outcome over another. (otherwise we can get paralysed by the paradox of choice)
A probabilistic forecast would be more scientifically accurate, but most of the time, we want the experts to get off the fence and pick a side, people need to be given an actual forecast so we can base our decisions on that most likely outcome.
It helps that we can then 'blame' others if the forecast was wrong, on the flip side, the amateur forecasters get to take the credit when they get it right even if they just happened to select one of the accurate model runs by pure chance)
Was talk of the quays being flooded due to tide - you should check cork safety alerts - a lot of surface water around already.
Level of Surface water is mental - could see the start of floods already on my commute.
Interesting commute though Cork City this am. Traffic was brutal with some heavy bursts. Around 8.45am heading towards Kinsale it was biblical, horizontal driving rain with limited visibility. The sides of the road resembled a stream.
