    Is the peak time for winds later? Seeing conflicting reports of 0600 0900 1100 and later as peak winds.

    I think it will peak in Donegal between 12.00 and 18.00, it will then die down and pick up again tomorrow for a while.
    This is based on what i have seen on the met eireann forecasts

    What time to be without my laptop! Been like a Cat on a hot tin roof all weekend, wondering how things were on Boards Weather ;) Missed the graphs and charts and the opinions... Sigh, its so good to be online..

    From Collooney, its fairly gustly at times, misty rain is blowing about. Haven't got my weather station info active either, (due to absent laptop) :( so apologies to all.


    Safe travelling to all our Wind chasers and all those out and about...

    I was down there last time it happened, it's an amazing sight to watch the waves rolling and breaking as they cross the road!

    Just met Iancar and WingerPl to give them a loan of my anemometer. They should have some fun on the west coast.

    That is correct when you remember that they are Met Áth Cliath more than Met Éireann.

    Gerry Murphy has been sent out with Jim Fahy to investigate Ireland's equilvalent to Britain's crop circle phenomena.

    Spose if they get rid of the alien invasion the damn thing will break again. This happened back in august too.

    Can we have our Dooncarton and Mt. Gabriel radars please, instead of this farce. :(

    It was on Mid West Radio Sponge Bob, so I presumed they had got an update for the West from Met Eireann? But who knows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭snow ghost


    It has calmed down a fair bit in these parts.

    Winds have picked up again in strength with some nice strong prolonged gusts here in West Limerick.

    Seems about the same as 0500 this morning.

    Nice and warm though and still dry :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    We have a gust to 60mph in Dublin Airport.

    They only really cover Mayo now, 'the West' - as a traditional term for a part of this island - is essentially Connacht and Clare.

    Im surprised the car park is still flooded. Its low tide at about 12, and high tide isnt till 6pm this evening. It was a good thing so that the peak of the winds came near low tide!

    That piece of land floods every time we get a bit of a blow & high tides in Galway - a daft place to put a car park :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    That little shortwave to the southwest of the main low may need to be watched cautiously, could kink them isobars very tight.

    Watch it. Dont think it will cause too much fuss over it this run.

    We have liftoff here in Dublin 15. It's been very windy all morning but we're on another level now. The entire building I'm in is shaking the wind is so strong. No joke!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭irish1967


    All over here now I'd say calmed down a lot and brightened up on the last half hour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,988 ✭✭✭dirtyghettokid

    gusts are a little stronger now though since i filmed this morning


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,379 ✭✭✭snow ghost


    After a relatively calmer hour here things are picking up again and getting persistantly windier.

    They don't cover Donegal, NorthWest Radio used to cover Donegal, it was a sister radio station to Mid West Radio. Ocean Fm has replaced it.

    I'd say it's those damn wire pixies again!

    On a weather-note, there are now some fairly strong gusts in Cork City centre. First ones I've noticed this morning (11:31am). It was quite windy at around 3 or 4 am too.
