    Gust of wind just sent my black bin flying down the end of my back garden.

    North Dublin.

    It's certainly windy out there.

    A couple of huge gusts coupled with heavy rain just woke me up. The bins are the other side of the garden, and that's where they'll wait until tomorrow.
    Nothing major in between the gusts though, a few showers and moderate winds.
    Just outside Newport Co Mayo.

    Huge change here compared to earlier today, from temps in the mid teens to freezing cold windchill and squally showers.

    A massive hail downpour has turned the place white just now, impressive shower with very big hail

    Absolutely black here on Kerry Coast. Winds must be close to gale force.

    Occasional heavy rain shower, makings of another duvet day !

    :)

    Stay safe out there !

    58kt gust in DUB airport yesterday evening. Any other time of the year and this thread would have been hopping. The forecast was gusting 35-40kts so a bit of a surprise.

    Very rough night, hailstones, Big bang of thunder, wasn't aware of the warning but had some very windy nights on run up to Christmas when no warning was issued either. I noticed on Christmas eve the thunder and lightning I witnessed wasn't on the lightning radar, and last nights one was very close but still on the radar the nearest one is away out in Donegal bay. Doesn't seem to be very accurate.

    No wind other than an occasional puff of a breeze.

    Dry with bright sunshine.

    10°C

    In terms of wind, it was a non-event here in West Limerick. A typical day for this time of year.

    Thanks to all those who posted reports :)
