They expect the dangerous conditions to hit the two counties at different times.

So for two hours ballybunion gets hit while kibaha gets nothing. Then instantaneously the storm just flips and ballybunion is fine while kilbaha gets pasted.

I guess the 8pm crossing from killimer to tarbert will sail as normal. Leaving before the red kicks in and arriving after the red kicks out of tarbet.

You must be in a very sheltered location. There are frequent very strong gusts here about 30 km SW of the city.

There was a gust about 20 minutes ago that lasted for maybe half a minute. Other than that, it’s just been a breezy day so far.

Thepillowman · 26-04-2019 6:21pm

Wind picking up here in East Clare ,Lough Derg getting rough looking.

As earlier, all services cancelled from 6.

I'm fairly tired of all this warning ****e, it's for the county as a whole, not specific parts! If we selected parts of countries, people would still be saying "why were they red and we weren't!", You can't win and I think the current system works fine.

tis picking up in Cork City

SleetAndSnow · 26-04-2019 6:24pm

2811 people without power in the Cork area now. House in bishopstown still getting strong gusts every couple minutes

I see everything through the prism of white, fluffy, soft, icy snow.

Wind picking up here a bit in the last few minutes near Dublin Airport, gone to breezy.

You must live in some weird sort of Bishopstown triangle - your observations are nearly always out of kilter with what everyone else in the city is seeing/feeling including the folks up top of the north side hills

RobertKK · 26-04-2019 6:26pm

Gust to 68km/h for my location in Kilkenny. Starting to pick up.

not really, friends are texting me saying the exact same things I am experiencing.. I'm just saying its hitting the house and whistling in along with the trees blowing fairly strong, certainly not a 'breezy day'.

No of course not. The worst is expected between 6-8 in Kerry which would also tie in with coastal parts of Cork. After that not as bad but still very windy.

Met eireann seem to (wrongly) credit the public with a bit of cop-on apparently :rolleyes:

mikeymouse · 26-04-2019 6:36pm

Gusting 80 km/h now here

Seems to be following the expected path and strength so far?

Will know in the next hour, would have thought wind speeds down around Valentia might have been a bit stronger by now , as Gaoth Laidir mentioned earlier that the cloud characteristics showed a possible sting jet formed which may have indicated that it peaked earlier ? Don't know . As I type wind gusts aregetting more frequent and loud!

Bit of a lull while the wind switched to the SW, big loud gusts now up around 80 km/h

Little snowy old me · 26-04-2019 6:38pm

Winds picking up here in West Dublin. I still don't see how Dublin is not a yellow level. I suspect that later, when winds turn to the NW, Dublin could be in for a bit of an unexpected stormy period

weisses · 26-04-2019 6:39pm

Damaging gusts in west Kerry ... all kinds of debris flying around ... Not as bad as darwin but we are not far from it

It is certainly ramping it up in north Kerry now

Very strong gusts in the Ballyphehane area of Cork City. Few election posters blowing down the road now.

Gaoth Laidir · 26-04-2019 6:43pm

This thread has become unreadable with the amount of waffle being spouted. Again, there should be two threads, one for chat and one for actual useful info.

SlowBlowin · 26-04-2019 6:44pm

The house is full of smoke, the wind is blowing down the mountain onto the roof. The fire is now just a smoke generator.

One of the garden trees in that video is now down and over the power lines, I just emailed ESB as we have no mobile coverage atm.

Strong gusts are still coming in - pressure up 1 to 986mb.

Kermit.de.frog · 26-04-2019 6:44pm

Just want to say thanks to Meteorite58 for all the effort with his updates. Really appreciate it.

I see that two incoming flights to the airport have been diverted to Dublin and there have been no departures since 4pm. That could be it for flights until at least late tonight.

So right. I would love to see technical charts & updates that aren't buried. I appreciate that it can be a pain for the Mods to separate posts

Pour water on the fire before you are choked to debt

I think the frequency of these "once in a lifetime" events are a result of climate change. This forum has shared numerous broken records in the space of two years alone.

I am already choked in debt !

Pressure up again 987mb, still strong gusts but further apart. Not been too bad so far.

The other theory is it's related to the solar minimum (see the sunspot thread here)

Robxxx7 · 26-04-2019 7:06pm

Gust of 93.2kmh here in Mid-Kerry near Killorglin
Gusts seem to be around the 90kmh mark at the moment ... quite a few trees down around the County but we still have power

Another gust there now oh 98.2kmh

DOCARCH · 26-04-2019 7:09pm

Recent gust of 74kn/137kmh at Fastnet.

I seen that, but that comes around often. These records broken dated back much longer.
