    Aye,I'm a bit concerned about this one as there is no high ground to the Sw and not much wsw of Arklow
    Meanwhile just had a squal here,rain rate changing from wet drizzle to 5 mins of 30+mm/hr
    Now followed by blue sky


    Same situation, here I live on a hil - those hills you see if you are in Kilkenny City and look north east, we stick out in a sw to w to nw wind storm and in my location we are sheltered from a southerly and easterly storm. There is a valley in the Western Kilkenny hills and that is simply a straight run of winds uninterrupted for about 30 miles.
    One always just hopes things are where they were after as they were before, especially roofs.
    Now the plan is to get as much work done before it gets going fully and be in out of it.
    Hopefully not too bad.

    Recent gust of 61.2km/hr

    Will Dublin get a battering later?

    Probably about 75% of what the west coast gets today followed by about 5 times the media coverage.

    Electricity lost here in West Limerick for a short period.

    Broadband was down at the far end for around 20 minutes.

    Wind levels around the same as previous reports.

    Ah lovely, rush hour.

    Might avoid the M50 for the usual scatter of high sided vehicles and tools who get spooked having to drive in any sort of weather. Hopefully the hills might offer some shelter from the WSW aspect.

    At least most of the leaf fall is over, might avoid too many trees being felled. Probably not a good night to be a panel fence or a barna shed however!

    And yes, Dublin is the only newsworthy area for weather events ;)

    Yep as Oscar Bravo posted Met Eireann Just updated warnings to include all of Leinster and Munster in Orange now and increased speed max to 130kmh.

    There is an argument for Red now, they really do leave these calls late!

    Yes, like the last time when mostly women were out picking up their children and trying to avoid falling trees.

    The schools should be letting the children home early today.

    The dry slot south of it is where the strongest winds would occur.

    Dublin Bay has gone from Force 2 an hour ago to Force 5 gusting Force 8 WSW. Only the fast ferries have been cancelled but I wouldn't like to be on a conventional ferry at any stage of tonight.
