    The noise of the wind now here in north Kilkenny you'd think the house will blow down. If we can't have snow I'll take the wind anything better than the boring weather of late

    It's interesting to note the relative calm at Sligo Airport tonight, despite the strong winds elsewhere in the northwest. This is due to the shielding effect of 1,100 ft Knocknarea Hill just to the south of the airport, but which can be a real danger to aircraft landing there in southerly winds due to the windshear (I can personally vouch for that!).

    Latest winds:

    Donegal Airport SW 33 G 43 kts
    Finner S 23 G 37 kts
    Sligo Airport S 11 kts
    Connaught Airport S 23 G 41 kts
    Belmullet S 31 G 48 kts

    It's pretty damn awesome up here in Derry. Rain is pretty diagonal with the wind, it's bouncing that hard off the roofs, it causing a "spray" of water.

    Haven't seen anything like this in a long time, going to try and get a video of it.

    And now the wind at Sligo has swung around to westerly, where it's no longer blocked by the hill, and the strength has increased to 29 Gust 39 kts.
