    Windy/gusty in Dublin 16, and rain has just arrived.

    Like a switch was just turned on, was calm 10 mins ago, then suddenly wet and windy.

    Absolutely pouring in Cork City - wind and rain belting off the window and I’m in bed nice and cosy :-)

    At the windows, only wind-driven water. The dark sky is sodden, spilling heavily onto saturated, pooling land.

    Horizontal ceaseless deluges, gale-borne, and the constant drumming tattoo.

    All is trickling down to the welcoming. open-armed ocean. Then becoming a small river, finding cracks to make creeks in,

    And the booming. screaming winds.

    West Mayo offshore; coastal waters

    Very mucky already, driving rain against the south facing windows.

    Met.ie says "light rain" in Waterford. Update chaps, update.

    Oh and the rainfall radar is blank!

    You want ME to issue an Orange warning for a wind gust 5km/h above the guidelines which has been reported in a coastal station ?

    Orange wind levels need to be recorded widespread in the county for the warnings to be upgraded.

    DailyMail screams: Dennis the menace: Storm has become a 70mph 'BOMB cyclone' that is 'one of the strongest EVER seen in the Atlantic' as it rages towards Britain and will be WORSE than Ciara when it hits this afternoon

    Very strong winds here on the side of Mt Leinster in Co. Carlow. (There appears to be more higher sustained winds vs the last storm.) Trees, fencing etc all flexing more so. Expecting some damage if it keeps up. It was a very rough night here also. The wind was howling mid night through this am and the walls creaking. Surprised this is only a yellow warning as it appears to be stronger than anything we've had in a while meeting yellow criteria. Possible upgrade happening?

    Take care if out and about today. Wild out there.

    Out in the Maharees, near Castlegregory. Very strong consistent wind howling. Horizontal rain. Very gusty and a sodden landscape.

    Heavy rain and getting blustery here, my 5 year old has his face pressed to the window. If it gets any worse I'll have to let him in.

    Wind and rain here in North Kerry.
    My weather station is showing 0.00 kmh though.

    Am I doing something wrong?



    It's in the cupboard :D *



    *I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. :) Planning on putting it on my new chicken run when built .
