    Will be interesting to see the wind speed stats for today at the various reporting stations - think they get published tomorrow here:
    https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/daily-data

    Diana added to my table of comparison with previous storms in terms of maximum wind gusts for selected Irish stations. Diana data is from synop reports.

    The mass of cloud to the southwest of Ireland is what we are focusing on.

    Latest HiRes Arome says we just barely miss the more intense rain but a small change can mean much difference. Still a good bit to fall for the early morning rush hour and no doubt will cause delays in the east.

    UK Met Office shows Leinster (particularly Meath, Dublin and Louth) with very heavy rain overnight and into tomorrow morning.

    After that bands of rain crossing the country each day for the next 5 to 6 days.

    The rainfall accumulations on models for the morning show the most rain roughly between 10mm to 20mm perhaps more on high terrain in Wicklow and Dublin. So nothing really to worry about. Just horrible to travel in.

    @Syran, thanks for putting up that table. As a minor weather nerd :p, I have kept data on all named storms the last couple of years, this table is great to have.

    Rough enough day around Tralee but no damage that I am aware of, very blustery with driving rain . Gusting over 70 km/h ( 8m ) at my increasingly sheltered site although no leaves on the trees at this time of the year .

    9.6mm

    Bar low reading of 975.7 hPa

    Tonight is a night where buoy observations are critical. When dealing with a rapidly developing wave in an area so sparse with Obs, the ships this system will encounter in the next few hours will give some real data as to where we are.

    The latest IR Satellite representation is looking very developmental.

    Youd think that the MetOffice (UMKO) will have to issue some severe warnings tonight as this doesn't look just like a yellow warning. Looks severe for parts of Britain.

    I would expect 10-20 mm rainfalls from this secondary wave, 30-50 mm will fall over parts of Wales into northwest England, so far the only strong winds associated are from one ship report (39 kt) in the developing warm sector, and you can see the low on satellite imagery close to 48N 9W, heading NNE. Winds may actually fall off to light in the Dublin region as this goes by, shallow surface northerly under a higher level southwesterly making for nasty wind shear on final approach (although at a time when airports may be dormant).

    (edit 2350h for better wave position 48N 9W).

    Again the very latest Arome shows a glancing blow.

    Today's storm in the UK is stronger than Diana was here yesterday. Highest gusts this morning were 64 knots (119 kph) at Scilly St. Mary's (31 m amsl) and 63 knots (117 kph) at Plymouth (50 m amsl). There was a 67-knot (124 kph) gust at Aberdaron along the Welsh Irish Sea coast, but that's on a 95-metre cliff overlooking the sea.

    In France, 64 knots at Point du Raz (72 m amsl) was the highest.

    Some confusion now about strongest gust yesterday, in the "yesterday's weather" section of the website Sherkin Island shows 61 knots rather than 66 as earlier reported, leaving Casement and Roches' Point tied at 62 knots but in the hourly graphs those two peak at 115 km/hr while Sherkin peaks at 122 (supporting the 66 knot value). Not sure if this is quality control or oversight.

    The 1 pm synop certainly gave 66 knots (34 m/s) as the hourly max gust. Strange.

    No, it was named by https://www.ipma.pt/en/, the Portuguese and the agreement is that the first to be affected or impacted name a storm and others carry it on.

    I was talking about the 'storm' that affected south west England and Wales yesterday....that should have been Deirdre.

    Now that the data is in, here's the table of comparison including Diana in terms of maximum 10-minute mean wind speeds. Will be doing Deirdre next month.

    Data comes from Met Éireann.

    Darwin was the only storm I recall feeling afraid of, and I was in my own house in Limerick for it's entire duration.

    I love this forum, and I love a good storm. But the mention of Darwin makes gives me goosebumps. I hope never to see the like of it again in my lifetime. South Tipp area!!
