YELLOW WIND WARNING

Status Yellow - Wind warning for Ireland

Strong and gusty southwest winds will veer westerly early this afternoon with some severe and damaging gusts; heavy squally spells of rain continuing too.

Valid: 07:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019 to 16:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019

Issued: 07:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019
________________________________________
Some squally bands of rain crossing the country between now and this afternoon likely to give some very strong winds.

Met Eireann mention ‘Severe and Damaging Gusts’ words that I would only associate with an orange Level warning.

Gusty morning this morning in cork city, wet too. Not a nice morning to wake up

MeTheMan · 10-12-2019 10:18am

Very wet here in Leitrim. Wind isn't to bad, blustery.

ZX7R · 10-12-2019 10:19am

Wasn't a nice ride home from work on the motorcycle this morning.

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 10:22am

Wild fierce buffeting winds out here much of the night and increasing steadily

Deluging almost non stop too.

Currently in a static caravan in West Clare.... It's being buffeted by the wind since about 4am

ninebeanrows · 10-12-2019 11:09am

Buffeting winds last night in d11

SleetAndSnow · 10-12-2019 11:16am

Mace head at 54kts, roches point at 45 and cork airport at 43.

Lashing rain here

If a squall line forms in the clearance localised severe gusts could result from weakened trees buffetted by Atiyah

Brutal day in Galway city today. Absolutely miserable outside.

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 11:42am

‘Buffeted’ must be the word de-jour. very strong winds in Kildare

Mortelaro · 10-12-2019 11:48am

53kmh gusting 72kmh South West in Arklow at the moment
Howling
But sure we're all getting used to the howling by now
At least we had a break yesterday

DOCARCH · 10-12-2019 11:49am

Windier this morning in this part of Dublin than anything Atiyah had to offer.

Just saw an ATR72 land from the east at Cork Airport in the last few mins- 10/10 there. that was after they deiced against a northern approach.

Storm 10 · 10-12-2019 11:58am

Way worse in Galway today than Sunday absolutely lashing rain with very strong winds, my station is showing wind 40 to 55 mph with a recent gust to 59mph, did not reach that on Sunday in an Orange warning if the tide was in Salthill would be seeing waves coming over the prom.

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 12:01pm

Much worse than Atiyah here now. Building materials blowing down the road

nthclare · 10-12-2019 12:06pm

Lahinch is getting battered with wind and swell, high tides at 4ish so it'll be getting a pounding around then.
8ft swell at the moment, so as the tide rises these waves could generate more size as they roll over the reefs

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 12:16pm

A brief but definite pause in the wind here. And in the rain for a few minutes.. brief indeed but welcome

Be assured all is well here. Stocked up with food and fuel and plenty of knitting work to keep me busy. I could last literally weeks like this. All planned.

In that brief lull, managed to get outside and even pick a few marigolds .

Drumming down again now, and the ground and paths outside are seriously waterlogged and puddled . Safe on the concrete path.

Cat is sitting by the gate and thought I was going to take him a walk, poor lad

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 12:21pm

Might have a squall feature developing in the west at the moment

NIMAN · 10-12-2019 12:23pm

Miserable is the best word I would use today.

Heavy drizzle coming sideways.

Xenji · 10-12-2019 12:25pm

A miserable day in Castlebar, a max gust of 80 km/hr and over 15mm of rain so far.

Oneiric 3 · 10-12-2019 12:33pm

Those living along the west coast might get to see the odd flash later on tonight, and more particularly, overnight, as showery troughs move in off the Atlantic:

Risk would be pretty low however but maybe one or two spots might see something.. maybe.

Excuse my , please, but not sure what that is and what it entails?

Del.Monte · 10-12-2019 12:37pm

Horrible day in Enniscorthy - strong, gusty wind and bucketing down all morning.

A very narrow band of intense rain and strong winds crossing the country.

Squall line just hit Fethard Co Tipp!!

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 1:20pm

Quite a temperature contrast ahead and behind the front

Danno · 10-12-2019 1:35pm

Squall line moving into western Laois. Top gust so far in south Laois of 36mph. Just 1.4mm since 10am.
