Does this look bad this far out?
Could also be visibility, things got pretty bad when that last batch of rain went through. Whatever it is, they're not risking it by the looks of it. Climbing now and making a beeline for Dublin. Two Ryanair flights coming in though. Wonder how they'll do.
102kph gust Cork is "winning" so far
Mod Note: need to cut out the hostile posts.

Gust of 55kmh SE Arklow
Raining
It looked windy and rainy in Cork city so I decided to verify it was the case. I went for a 10min walk (aka I had to go home). Let say I should have worn a swimsuit. My skin would have been as wet anyway.
Just arrived in work - cork city initial thoughts what gowl thought it woukd be ok for kids to head to school in that ????
vissbility very very poor at times - our local area prone to flooding lots of surface water there already I reckon it will be impassable later on.
Lots and lots of surface water the entire commute ( was expecting our locality due to known issues but surprised at the amount on the entire commute)
Rain is torrential - very poor driving conditions.
Not looking forward to getting home at 3 this afternoon.
Ryanair 1863 on final in Cork now, Runway 16. Let's see how that works out.
Also, most tracked flight worldwide on Flightradar24.com.
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.
Level of Surface water is mental - could see the start of floods already on my commute.
Was talk of the quays being flooded due to tide - you should check cork safety alerts - a lot of surface water around already.
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)
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.
..
holding at cork airport, gonna be a rough day there....
FR4156 going around again...and FR901 following after them. I wouldn't like to be doing laps of the city today on a plane!
They will be off to Dublin or Shannon soon.
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.
That warning system is an utter farce and is more designed around getting people to school/work.
Hear that one overhead, must be landed now.
The Malaga flight is safely down.
Winds not so bad in Cork city at the mo and rain has temporarily eased.
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
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
Dammed if they do and dammed if they don't, they will never get it right for some people.
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...
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.
heading to tramore in a couple of hours, should be a fun afternoon....
Same in East Cork, Pv panels actually starting to produce some power.
Still above 3,000 ft and doing 107 kts over the ground!!
edit: just seen 93 knots at 2,500ft!!
