There is a fair few house's there that have a stream going through their garden so I'd expect to hear the water going through for a few days.

south dublin.

Just woke up to garden gate banging.. Anyway North Louth area. Surely this storm has been underrated.

Jayyyyzizzzzzz it's ROUGH.

Thelonious Monk · 27-01-2026 06:25AM

Really heavy non stop rain till about 330am in Dublin, wind a bit quieter now and rain seems to have stopped. Sounded nuts out there, barely slept.

Nutgrove ave flooded

Strumms · 27-01-2026 06:51AM

north Dublin, we had a lull about two hours ago but it’s kicked off again big time, haven’t managed any sleep yet because of the noise, doesn’t look like I will…

Looking at the ESB power check page, I’m amazed that their are so few outages reported on there, then again I’m wondering how accurate that page actually is, as it was confirmed a neighbouring road was totally out and the ESB were informed… that ESB page has reports of ongoing outages, ones that are being worked on or where power was out but restored… odd… bit of con job by the looks of it.. prolonged outage confirmed by that residents whatsapp group, audible alarms going off triggered by the power cut and residents confirming that ESB were advised…yet nothing showing…

Very blustery at the moment. Some heavy rain overnight too

winklepicker2025 · 27-01-2026 07:01AM

infirmary Road & Cunningham Road Dublin are totally flooded.looks like the river has overflowed onto the road

finnharpsboy · 27-01-2026 07:07AM

M50 flooded between j13 and j12

Awful night here in Wicklow I was woken a few times by the wind and rain. Seems to have eased off here in the past 15 minutes or so. Malin head is the only station in the 26 counties to hit yellow level gusts overnight, Orlock Head in the North got to 120 so well into orange category. Some big rainfall totals too looking at the WOW site, although not sure how accurate some of these are.

The winds will ease for most of us for a while now but will pick up again for the southern half of the country again around lunch time and it looks like the strongest of these will be around the SW and S coasts. The quicker we get into spring the better because I am done with this winter.

DOCARCH · 27-01-2026 07:26AM

At 0600 Malin Head mean 93kmh/gusting 119kmh.

Rough here in Greystones at the moment with wild seas. Gusting 93kmh atm. Recent gust of 106kmh.

I see DunLaoghaire Harbour had a gust of 118kmh earlier.

Patrick2010 · 27-01-2026 07:47AM

have to go to Drumcondra from Rathfarnham shortly, am I likely to get stuck somewhere?

RGARDINR · 27-01-2026 07:55AM

I was just out in it there going along road R122 from Oldtown Co. Dublin. Road is barely there in parts. I couldn't get through Kilsillaghan as was flooded there. Turned back through the road running through Oldtown. It was crazy. Be very careful if your car is a low lying car do not drive through the puddles there huge. There not puddles there rivers on roads. I have a hyundai kona and I could hear the water up near door. I thought engine might get flooded. Loads of cars turning back. Saw one or 2 abandoned on roads outside people's houses.

Boyne has burst its banks at the Curly hole beside Townley Hall on the Drogheda Slane road, it's fairly deep.

DOCARCH · 27-01-2026 08:19AM

At 0700 Malin Head mean 100kmh/gusting 124kmh.

That mean speed pretty impressive. Well into red warning territory. And easterly too.

Wind has calmed a good bit now in Greystones.

ascophyllum · 27-01-2026 08:28AM

That's a very high reading at Malin Head, the houses, sheds etc up there are built to shelter from the west, shed openings are to the east usually. I'd expect to hear of some damage.

TheMilkyPirate · 27-01-2026 08:35AM

Calm in wexford at the moment rain also stopped. Slaney burst its banks in Enniscorthy last night as expected

Thorny Queen · 27-01-2026 08:37AM

We have lost electricity here. It's gusting strong and we are only on a yellow warning.

where is here ?

barney 20v · 27-01-2026 08:53AM

I travelled from west wexford to wexford town this morning at 6 am, some of the worst driving conditions i've ever seen in 16 years making the same journey .

Rural roads flooded, minor rivers flooding and enniscorthy flooded already .

yellow seems the wrong warning for wexford

BrentMused · 27-01-2026 09:01AM

What's the logic behind the flood warnings that the County Council's get not being made available to the public?

ednwireland · 27-01-2026 09:05AM

power was out for an hour ( restored 8.05am) in sw donegal a very breezy morning

SleetAndSnow · 27-01-2026 09:06AM

awful to see the flooding up the country again, flood warnings seriously needed.

Very calm in cork city at the moment

It's techincally not the wrong warning. The wind and rain levels versus the warning levels are correct.

The issue is those totals flowing down rivers after the last few days rain as well. Coupled with that we don't have a flood warning system to account for the total accumulations
