    I think for us in the South East we will see the highest gusts this Winter so far. Possible 60kt gusts on the coast. Its a pity Waterford Airport don't report data after 8pm. They are exposed and on the coast more or less so normally would get accurate readings.
    Anyway we will see what's my Max speed here in Waterford City

    I have a feeling that the Johnstown castle station is not that exposed.
    I think it's beside the public road and if I'm right there's plenty of trees nearby to get a lower reading than you would otherwise.

    I genuinely can't remember the last time all 5 buoys were in service at the same time on that page :rolleyes:

    Fastnet now gusting 51kts.

    I think I stand corrected.

    It must be the older station I've seen.

    I've looked at all the high Res models and most are giving gusts to 60kt here. Thats a big deal for us as most of the time we escape the worst of the Atlantic Storms.

    What will we peak at ?

    Me guesses, Sherkin/Cork that area around 62kt

    Maybe Belmullet will sneak upto 64kt

    And I'd be interested to see Waterford later.

    Yellow winds elsewhere i think.

    Fastnet 58kt (as GL would point out were he not on a plane, 60m up & 7km offshore :) )
    Increasing steadily. Hurricane force gusts there soon.

    I'd say a 75kt gust there or so with Belmullet or Mace topping out around 65

    Why is everyone thinking Belmullet will top the chart if the peak winds are supposedly south of us.
    I'm just outside Newport and the wind is fine, a few gusts here and there but fairly normal. It's the continuous heavy rain that's getting annoying at this stage.

    I thought the strongest winds were for the north and west and up the Irish sea ??? According to met eireann

    Winds continue to ramp up here on the coast in Mayo, peak winds supposed to be from 12 to 4am

    Would you think inland Carlow/Kilkenny (my location!) will experience this Meteorite?

    Probably gusts 80 -110 km/h I would think around 03.00-04.00 . The ECM is showing gusts from 110 to 120 km/h but I wonder will they get that far inland ?

    Very few reporting stations south of Galway that are as exposed. Shannon is flat but inland even though technically coastal along the Estuary, and Valentia is much further south again.

    Thanks. It'll be a change of wind direction for us too.
