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

I wonder if the storm is ahead of schedule

Strong outflow winds from mountains of n Spain likely causing 66 kt winds at sea for ship off nw tip of Spain at 03z … most of the rain has already moved through Ireland now, just small amounts of rain left to fall during the cold frontal passage mid-day. A few isolated thunderstorms possible ahead of that front. My present take on this is, a moderately severe impact on land and highly severe on exposed coasts and marine areas. A few places sheltered by hills to south-southwest may seem to be out of the storm altogether.

With the storm hitting the South at lunchtime and school closing time you have a very dangerous set up. There needs to be some sort of direction to shelter in school until after 3pm or close at like 11am

There's a window of extreme winds in Kerry, Cork, Waterford between 12noon and 3pm

So with main runways being E-W, does this mean likely delays at Dublin. Strongest winds are going to be from South? Can alternate runway cater for all traffic?

a couple of showers just outside Carrick on Shannon but very calm. Been up since 5am with the thoughts of this storm. I think Eowyn terrified me so much I’ll never relax when I know there’s high winds coming. Missed Storm Amy as we were away.

Hope everyone stays safe & by some miracle, the models are wrong.

very gusty in Kildare

Lol I agree but it's quite likely. Let's wait 5 mins and see

Countrywide orange warning at different times.

Yep your right no red nationwide orange

Marine red across south coast

Maybe I was right after all

What time is orange warning for east of country starting? Trying to decide whether to send kids to school or not. No messages from schools yet

Do I havvvve to get out of bed!!
