Storm Bram , Monday night 8th / Tues 9th Dec. 2025

The Icon has upped the ante yet again. It shows a strip of red level winds moving up through the country tomorrow afternoon. Erm it's showing a nationwide red tbh, for approximately 2 hours!!

Icon has a tendency to overdo wind speeds a bit and I really hope it is at it again

Met Éireann has gone offline on desktop, but the app is still working for now!

well…

Yeah the 12Z Arpege had the southeast, particularly Wexford bearing the brunt of it, nothing too worrying though. But the way things are evolving the 12Z is ancient history now. The 18Z will be rolling out soon and will probably look very different. I'm keeping a close on this one for my location in Wexford as I have to drive rural roads tomorrow at about noon and the ground is very waterlogged, not good for stability of tree roots!

I am glad I put off putting up the decorations outside now. It really is strange how there is such model divergence at this late stage. I wonder will the models making less of an event of it back the Harmonie or will the Harmonie downgrade yet. Met Eireann obviously don't think so

IIt's a bit over complicated. They should abandon the county warning and just go with provinces

Christ … a fairly shaky weather forecast from Gerry Murphy there after the news … tripping up an awful lot trying to explain the warnings.

yeah its possible if there is cause for it

Bit difficult as conditions in Louth completely different to Wexford which is in orange warning.

Oh please make it a red, we are borderline red anyway. Could do with a day off!

Sorry if this has already been answered but what time roughly will it start to get windy, overnight or more morning time, interested in Cork area, so calm here at the moment.

So basically 12 noon to 4pm it's at it's worst. Coinciding with school closures I'm inclined to think a red is justified across the South, West and Midlands with a nationwide orange. No way are we finished with upgrades here

Gfs 18z hasnt upgraded since the 12z
