Storm Agnes Wed 27 Sept 2023.

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 !

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)

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....

first power outages.

The storm is deeper than some guidance even current ICON 06z is already wrong, K2 buoy has 973 mbs and 35 kt s.e. wind so it has to be at least 970 or lower at centre, ICON 06z already filled to 980 by next hour. Would take GFS as best guidance for now. Low is around 50N 14W on satellite.

The met.ie website having issues, m3 buoy last at last look shows incorrect data not for today.

It's more that the visibility has been quite poor when driving and the roads are flooding already.

So far its just a windy wet day, nothing exceptional yet. Though I understand the worst winds kick off from 10am to 3pm approx for here, coastal south of Kinsale.

Sudden onset of very heavy rain last 10 minutes Limerick city suburbs. Sheeting off the roof.

Plane from Amsterdam looks like it's diverting to Shannon

No going back around

He's coming back in for another go at it

Not yet, going into the hold at Cork. Same as the 2 Ryanair planes before they landed.

Aircraft often enter holding patterns during bad weather. Unless the aircraft starts climbing, it's generally hanging around. They can make unusual turns due weather.

Doesnt seem too bad now here. Starting to even brighten up a bit in the clouds.

Two Ryanair flights to Kerry enroute to Dublin?
