    This has always been the beauty of weather on Boards for me. The human element is what makes these threads. There are technical threads and M.T.'s thread which are sacrosanct. These threads though are the places where people like me can read and mostly understand. I want to know as much as he does if BillyMcSnilly can drive to Galway Friday morning and if Salthill car park will be good for a space while he's at his VIP meeting or his mother's deathbed. I'm interested to know that CheeryBunk has bought milk sandwiches enough till Monday. I'm invested in the people around the country and some of them I've been reading about for years. Then there's the chance that I might feel the need to ask what that chart means to little old me and whether I should bring my wheelie bins inside the house on Thursday night and not get lambasted for asking.

    Go to the technical threads if you want information without commentary except from those who understand it. If you want the forecast without chat then go to M.T.'s thread or tap into the Carlow weatherman. I love to hear the early warnings, the preparations, the unwilling excitement, the posts from all corners of the country during the events themselves.

    Red warning for the rest will follow with different timing.

    GFS downgrades wind gusts for the far north of Connacht and much of west and north Ulster. An increase for north Leinster.

    An early and good call from Met Eireannn, gives people time to focus and make preparations. Verifies how consistent the models are. Bits of tweaks in the output but looking fairly locked on now. More counties coming into Red with different timings look likely.

    South Westerly for the most part. Our usual direction as opposed to Darragh.

    Early warnings are necessary for this, construction sites, farms etc. may need a lot of preparation, moving loose objects, securing things etc. Between work and the daylight hours, I'm already a bit stretched prepping things in our yard.

    There's barely time to deal with major hazards like loose wooden fences, weak trees, shed roofs etc.

    Red warnings appendix updated to include the latest addition for Éowyn. Probably won't be the last either.

    This is the first extended winter season since 2017-18 to have 3 different event red warnings or 2013-14 if you count BFTE/Storm Emma as one.

    Here in the coastal north Wicklow area we usually get a bit of a reprieve relative to other areas of the East thanks to the mountains blocking some of the wind.

    By the looks of it this storm is going to be a similar story due to the SW wind direction?

    I was in the canaries during the cold snap so I'm probably in the minority looking forward to a good storm.

    Stay safe folks.

    Forgive my ignorance. Does that mean the wind is blowing in that direction, or coming from that direction. IE does southerly means it's blowing "downwards" to the south or coming up from the south and blowing "upwards"?

    Airlines have to move you to the next available flight and provide accommodation overnight if required. Wait for that before booking something yourself

    Coming from that direction, wind will be hitting you in the face if you look to the southwest.

    If someone has a moment could they explain what is being referred to when it's said 'the high resolution models….etc'?

    How can we ever forgive you. You are banished from here. 😁

    But yeah its coming in from the south then west.
    Have a look at windy.com and watch the arrows. The arrows point in the wind direction.
