They've been improving the sea wall along there over the winter it's the last phase of that I think.

Was down there recently, they have done so much work, I hope this doesn't undo it all again.

Event must have been canceled due to bad weather!

AllForIt · 26-04-2019 2:44pm

How can they be so specific about Co.Clare? Seems a bit unusual to single out one county.

Any thoughts on the very strong winds in Wicklow that are forecast in that chart? At 5-6am. Doesn't look right.

Sometimes they don’t seem to load/appear on the mobile devices and then appear on refresh!

Would guesstimate yellow will be extended to remaining counties left out this evening.

This was on the desktop though! I refreshed a few times and it didn't appear. Back now though! Maybe there's just so much traffic on the site :eek:

Storm looks quite brief, perhaps a good thing.

The red warning is brief, but the orange is from 4pm to 1am, Clare included

thomil · 26-04-2019 2:53pm

Raining pretty consistently now here in Ballincollig. Strong southwesterly winds, at least judging from the fountain here in Barrack Square, but nothing out of the ordinary so far.

Air pressure at 997.7mb and continuing to fall, temperature 11,7°C, Dew Point 10°C.

I’ll see when I get home. Looks like that won’t be ‘til a while though.

Assume Dublin is safe. Not a puff currently

So.. a 30-40mph breeze. Bog standard old 'gale'. Should we shake in our boots?

Hedgelayer · 26-04-2019 2:59pm

Starting to whip up now near Bunratty

Meteorite58 · 26-04-2019 3:00pm

Quote from RTE

'Head of Forecasting at Met Éireann, Evelyn Cusack, said winds are expected to gust up to 150km per hour in parts of west Galway and the Aran Islands, and also along exposed parts of the coastline in counties Kerry, Cork and Waterford.

Ms Cusack said the worst of the weather would be 'short-lived', and was not expected to include any river flooding.

But she said there was a risk of 'coastal damage' and said there was a possibility that there could be some coastal flooding and local surface flooding.

Getting gusty in Tralee now. Some driving rain about 30 mins ago. She's on her way....

Yes noticibly picking up in the last 30 mins after that heavy burst of rain went through.

Graces7 · 26-04-2019 3:03pm

All calm here; ocean flat. A breeze but no more and bitterly cold. Low dark clouds in all directions.... west mayo offshore island

Rain has stopped in allihies and still calm. Where's the storm??

26-04-2019 3:14pm

I persume a red would have been issued by now for Cork and Kerry if it was going to? Heading out now on an 1hr 30min trip. I swear that boy better pass his driving test soon!

And so it begins even though we’re barely into the event.

Anteayer · 26-04-2019 3:18pm

It's definitely beginning in Cork City anyway. There's been a pick up in the wind.

Red warnings have been issued during an event like during Storm Darwin. Unlikely yes but possible.

Anteayer · 26-04-2019 3:23pm

I find it amazing though. I was in Cork City Centre earlier on and there were various people giving out about Met Éireann and saying that they shouldn't warn at all as it just reduces shopping footfall and that how back in the day we'd have just called it a breezy day and so on.

I think some people would just complain about absolutely anything though. There's no pleasing them.

I don't really think there's much point in debating it on the threads here as it's just one of those things that will never be resolved.

Where are you based?

Little snowy old me · 26-04-2019 3:29pm

I'm very surprised that Dublin is not at least yellow considering that the UK met has issued warnings for North Wales and the English coastline opposite Dublin.

Doolin, the storms are always that bit stronger around here being so close to the coast. Should be fun! Assuming there's no loss of life or severe damage of course.

26-04-2019 3:33pm

Kerry gone red.

munsterlegend · 26-04-2019 3:35pm

Met Eireann have updated their national forecast and advised extreme caution required on Clare, Kerry and Galway coastline later this evening.

Oscar Bravo · 26-04-2019 3:35pm

It's northwesterly. During the roughest parts for Kerry/Clare.

Is the track of the storm pretty much nailed at this time frame?

It's running until 6pm, then it's cancelled thereafter.

Iancar29 · 26-04-2019 3:39pm

Sting jet looks likely and heading for Kerry/Clare. Good calls with the red warnings this time.
