Atlantic Storm Watch: December 2013

Iancar29 · 2013-12-11 15:08:31

A substantial upgrade on this mornings 06z in terms of tightening of isobars off the West coast merits a level 2 warning in my opinion. Whats giving rise to this stormy spell is the low pressure making its way East across the atlantic is getting squashed by the strong high pressure over europe . Winds will start picking up…

That's 23mm in just under an hour, not too bad. Temperature plummeting now too, down 2.1C in 15 minutes as the final squall passed through, now 9.2C.

For most of the country, these gusts from the front passing over will be as bad as it gets. For coastal counties in the west and northwest it will be more severe later this evening and tonight.

Probably going to get the least severe of it all down here in Wexford, But for what it's worth my sky went about half hour ago and it was raining quite heavily. A bit blustery with some big gusts but nothing out of the ordinary.

Part of the roof of Kent Station has collapsed onto a train and there are trees after snapping in half out in Togher.

Some reports of a mini-Tornado..

Could anyone confirm?

Very dark

Watch the front break up and weaken when it hits Dublin - always happens.

If we get an hour of that rain in Dublin starting at about 4pm it could make for a nasty rush hour, lots of leaf fall in the drains still, wide road surfaces and natural hollows could get tricky. Winds are gusting to Force 9 on the bay from SE, generally a cr@ppy evening.....

It's just started raining in Dublin city centre.

Looking at the met.ie radar, the giant red blob is about to engluf us! It's going to be a b*tch of a rush hour.
