Yeah most of the heaviest rain gone through early in the morning.

Thank you, those charts are exactly what I was looking for.

Meteorite58 · 30-10-2020 10:10pm

Met Eireann in the forecast 'some severe and damaging gusts occurring towards dawn, especially in parts of Munster and south Leinster.'

Shows up well on HARMONIE

We usually bring mother up to ours or to one of my sisters but she is saying that she is sick of being shunted out of her home every time a bit of wind is forecast and staying put. She would have to come to mine as she is in our social bubble with the covid. I dont blame her. The nonsense with these warnings every time a gale comes in. The country is in enough of a mess and older people stressed out enough without orange warnings. Yes it will be windy and im sure it will blow a good gale but let's review the warning systems and increase rhe warning level thresholds. Bit of a rant but I'm annoyed.

Don't blame Met Éireann if people overreact. I'm pretty sure they don't advise evacuating the elderly from their homes in advance of a typical storm. People working in exposed places outdoors need the warnings. An elderly lady shouldn't worry about it, unless she's planning to go for a morning swim or a hike.

Well that rain did not last long no way was it spreading North East as was said on the forecast heading north West now

The breeze has increased slightly in Limerick.

pad199207 · 31-10-2020 12:23am

Winds picking up in Kildare and a big increase in temps.

Oscar Bravo · 31-10-2020 12:24am

Lots of bright returns on the radar down in the SW. wouldn't rule out a flash or two.

Storm 10 · 31-10-2020 12:25am

Looks like the new pulse of rain coming in will be the main one that will move North East

SleetAndSnow · 31-10-2020 12:36am

Some showers in cork city, heavy drizzle now, radar shows more on the way though. Gusts starting to increase a bit too

pauldry · 31-10-2020 12:54am

120kph is the gust speed when things get dangerous. Dont know if this will be reached apart from coastal remote spots.

Sligo will likely get over 100 possibly 110. At midday tomorrow

Wind after really picking up in cork city in the last 15 mins or so

SnowyMuckish · 31-10-2020 2:34am

The rain is beginning to incessantly drum at our windows here in the NW as the wind forcefully whistles through the rafters. It’s going to be a long night!

Rodin · 31-10-2020 2:35am

Be grand.
Always is.

Jpmarn · 31-10-2020 3:15am

Storm Aidan has arrived. Gusts are getting severe near Limerick City.

NIMAN · 31-10-2020 3:50am

Very wet for the last hour or so in North Donegal.
No sign of the big winds yet, think they aren't landing until early morning.

Aquals · 31-10-2020 3:53am

Oh wow, the gusts are extremely strong here in Cork city. A powerful one just woke me up. I’m nervous now at the thought that the orange weather warning doesn’t start here for another two hours!

Glorious night in Dublin, lovely full moon and no sign of wind nor rain

440Hertz · 31-10-2020 4:16am

Woke me in Cork too - wind’s howling quite loudly.

spookwoman · 31-10-2020 4:27am

Not too bad in waterford, blustery and warm. Few idiots have left bins out and 1 already gone over

They did! It is a typo and they will never now admit to it! :rolleyes:

Well a "storm by any other name"

refusetolose · 31-10-2020 4:39am

Can't sleep in Cork City
Tis wild

4Ad · 31-10-2020 4:39am

Gone fair wild in East Clare now...

Graces7 · 31-10-2020 4:43am

Deluging and wind rising out here. And feels much colder

Aidan is stamping his hobnailed boot feet.. Bad mannered oaf! NO consideration for folk needing their sleep.

All chaos here so if I vanish? Worry not.. Cannot get through to my family in Canada

Here they made a mess of my prescription and I have no pain relief.

I think the storm is going to be a welcome diversion and the least of my worries.

Stay safe out there. We are all safe here.

Thepillowman · 31-10-2020 4:50am

Wind picking up in East Clare at the moment can hear the sound of the lake about a km away.

Thespoofer · 31-10-2020 4:56am

Starting to get a bit lively in East Cork now. Cant sleep myself, up at table with coffee, rest of family in bed asleep, peace.

bassy · 31-10-2020 5:04am

Started to rise here in north KILKENNY,our ping time is 5am-10am hope everything is ok in the morning, graces7 where in beautiful mayo are you.ive worked for years in mayo and my mum is originally from Westport.

EastCork2018 · 31-10-2020 5:28am

After waking in East Cork now myself to howling winds, gusting right in off the coast in Ballycotton. Sounds like it's gradually picking up, also very mild.

spookwoman · 31-10-2020 5:31am

Winds picked up in waterford and started to rain again.

Looks like a right squall line developing east of cork running up the country

NIMAN · 31-10-2020 5:36am

The rain finally stopped.

I nipped outside to move a couple of planters to a safe corner for the impeding winds later.

It was strange. Not a breath of wind, perfectly calm.

Dank Janniels · 31-10-2020 5:48am

Lashing and blustery in East Galway, the warnings dont kick in til 8am so its gona be intresting!

fits · 31-10-2020 5:54am

It’s been wild all night in Carlow and my 3 year old decided to get up at 4 am. Listening to the wind mixed with fireman Sam. Orange warning only kicking in now but it’s been a wild sleepless night.

Gremlinertia · 31-10-2020 5:54am

Winds have strengthened here, have to be a bit cautious with external doors, few heavyish periods of rain but mostly fast passing squalls now. Radar shows longer periods in an hour or so.. Galway city

Graces7 · 31-10-2020 6:00am

Wildly erratic and gusty now. A silence then POW. Another deluge pounding in in

West Mayo offshore

Doors! I have the old dog lead looped through the grab rail by the door and then round the door handle - and a huge rock behind the door..

And yes, just the hors d' oeuvres being served now.

JEEPERS! Such a gust just now! Startled!

West Mayo offshore

SleetAndSnow · 31-10-2020 6:07am

Woken up by three strong gusts hitting the house in cork city, usually sleep through these

Edit: seems to be not constant, picking up and then dying for 10 mins And then picking up again

Rock Lesnar · 31-10-2020 7:22am

Rain just suddenly started here in meath, utter silence before that, no wind, no rain then the rain arrived and its real heavy

spuddy90 · 31-10-2020 7:24am

Consistent rain with gusts the past hour in North kilkenny.
