    Anyone else getting the feeling that people in general might be in for a surprise on this one. Quiet in here even.

    A surprise in what way? Warnings have been issued by ME. If people choose to ignore them that's their own lookout.

    ARPEGE not showing the same penetration of strong winds as earlier runs.

    Yeah was just going to post , winds here gusting near 60KMH

    Ah sure that's a regular type wind....Near Gale/Force 7 in a gust is pretty normal. That's not to say that things will be rather different tomorrow but for the east and south (and parts of the midlands), I'm envisaging this event to be no more than what is expected in a regular winter storm, albeit in early Spring - but still not out of the ordinary *

    * Trying to downplay this in a reverse psychology way :p

    It's a bit gusty in Cork City at the moment - is this part of the same system or ?

    Malin head strongest wind gusts currently around 97km/h, Belmullet at 90km/h and both stations closest to Cork City at 86km/h.

    A few gusts around 6pm to 8pm here in Newport. Gone very calm in the last hour.


  • Registered Users Posts: 526 ✭✭✭coillsaille


    Very squally now here in Connemara, very strong gusts. This particular spell of rough weather we're having feels like it's been going for ages, at my location anyway, and at least another 24hrs or so of it to go it seems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 142 ✭✭NewMrs2b


    Howling in D24.

    Recently bought a house so 1st really wind to see how it holds up!

    I drove from Macroom to cork city, it was a horrible drive. The ballincollig bypass is so open, the gusts were shifting the car sideways. Driving rain also as expected with the warning.

    Nothing from Graces7 in a long time :(. I miss her descriptive weather updates from the Mayo offshore outpost. I hope she’s ok and has the hatches battened down in preparation for Gareths arrival

    It’s got windy in Dublin.
    Let’s get this thread going.


  • Registered Users Posts: 845 ✭✭✭tylercollins


    Don’t take risks on treacherous boats :D

    fun fact, I'm a freelance photographer, I was down at Galway during the massive red warning storm 2 years ago. Was documenting the event as you do. She took a photo of me and posted on social media calling me basically a twat for doing exactly the same thing she was doing. :rolleyes:

    EDIT: here it is LOL

    I've been thinking about her too. I actually really miss her posts and feel sad to think what might have happened to her. Miss you Grace, wherever you are!

    Long story. Discussed elsewhere.

    Now can I put the recycle bin out and at what time? I had one hell of a session over the weekend and if this bin goes over, the road will look like a beer can ally. Seriously.:eek:

    But really seriously sick and tired of arseholes poppin the bin out and then pickin their crap out of my garden. Be careful with your bin tonight. Mine is at the front door, weather watching as usual.

    After watching the 9.30 forecast, they really are all about facts, no hype but at the same time it doesn't really instill the dangers either. I usually don't watch the national forecast due to having only Netflix.


  • Registered Users Posts: 402 ✭✭Thewife


    She has been on my mind so much the last week , I’m praying she is ok .
    I also miss her beautifully written descriptions . Oh I really really hope she is ok .
