    Do we think we will get much up in Laois or do you think it'll be mostly confined to munster regions?

    Weather warnings active for almost all of the 26 counties but Dublin completely fine, luckily.

    Bar the obvious danger element I've always thought it be great to be on top of a mountain during a storm. Just to observe and feel the sheer power and rawness of nature.

    I'll let you know what it's like in a few hours.

    At this stage could it shift further north and have more of an effect on Louth?

    As the charts are showing upgrade after upgrade run by run I'd nearly love to see it shift away from cork at this stage!

    That’s just it, plus storms usually shift north. Have a garden full of things that will need moved into the shed.

    ECM 0Z tracking more N than previous runs. Bringing stronger winds inland . Main areas of strongest most severe and damaging winds are Kerry, Clare and W Cork but could also see some very strong gusts running across the country when the winds veer to the NW later.

    Met Eireann said they will be reviewing its warning level RTE NEWS : 'Met Éireann has said it will be reviewing its warning level for Storm Hannah and may have to issue a more severe alert than the Status Orange warning currently in place for Munster.

    Storm Hannah is making its way across the Atlantic and is expected to hit southwest coast of the country this afternoon with winds gusting as high as 130km/h.

    Met Éireann has warned people in Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick to be prepared for "possible disruption and power outages".

    A Status Orange wind warning in those counties will come into effect at 4pm.

    In addition, Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange wind warning for Tipperary and Waterford from 10pm tonight until 2am tomorrow, with gusts expected of up to 120km/h for a time tonight.'

    ICON Flash Hi Res 30hr model. Keeping an eye on this one to see how accurate it is. ICON known to over do it a bit but even if you took off 5-10 km/h it is still very severe.

    Guys I know the sea area forecast differs but wondering how they say winds up to storm force 10 off the South Coast and gusting up to violent storm force 11 as far as Slyne Head, would that not put the West in a different warning as it moves closer to land.

    I'm genuinely surprised that this hasn't downgraded. I woke up expecting a downgrade since that's how things work out usually. Stay safe everyone down south!

    Im in North Cork and have put everything in as Ophelia really hit us bad the last time. Hopefully wont have to fire up the generator, only possitive thing if we lose power is that its bright until late in the evening and its not cold so we can cope ok if the power goes out .
    Few lovely big trees out the back, hope they stay standing

    People here sometimes think that sea area means the gales stop at the coastline.

    That marine forecast I posted a while ago is already orange and affects coastal waters and thus coastal areas.

    Even when I was living near the coast rather than now out here i took heed of the marine forecasts

    Not sure that answers your query! No exact demarcations exist. If you are near that coast, orange.

    Have we ever had storms of the force expected today before in the month of April? I certainly don't recall any.
