    So far would think that the ECM and ICON have best predicted the highest winds today, ARPEGE and AROME have slightly under performed as did the GFS.

    EURO 4 was quite good as was FMI HIRLAM. WRF never picked up the highest gusts .

    Still very gusty and loud out here and the cold is astonishing.

    Thankfully we escaped the worst of it here in North County Dublin. A bit windy but nothing out of the ordinary.

    The rain was actually the worst part relentless from about 5pm just never stopped think we reached about 15mm by time I was going to bed.

    Here's the storm comparison table for max wind gusts updated to include Storm Bella. It is now all a different format with stations on the top and storm names on the side. This was done via suggestions because the old format was getting messy with the many storms that were being included.

    Since the last post from Storm Aiden, I have also added "Anne" (name from Wiki page) from 2/3 January 2014. Otherwise, everything else remains the same.

    As always, for those that are new, each cell is colour coded based on the necessary warning level using the official system by Met Eireann.

    Yellow = 90-110 kph
    Orange = 111-130 kph
    Red = 131+ kph

    A mean speeds version of this table is and has been in the works too but is not close to finished. It will probably be completed the next storm at earliest depending on how soon that is. This will give us an extra good look into seeing how impactful a storm really was, in terms of numbers, as gusts don't tell the full story.

    Hopefully you like the new format.
