    No rain but that wind is something else. Vicious guts and a relentless howling.

    It is leaving Deirdre in the shade.

    All pretty unremarkable in Galway. Bit breezy, bit damp, and that's about it.

    Because the consensus of MÉ's go-to models didn't forecast gusts in excess of 110km/h, mean winds in excess of 65km/h or rainfall of more than 50mm in 24hrs; like it did in advance of Deirdre.

    Very windy in N Kildare but nothing like that 30 mins or so bout of severe gusts we had with Deirdre on Sat Eve.

    Oops, previously posted in the wrong thread.

    Fastnet reporting ~ 60kt gusts as it has been now for several hours. Not abataing until near dawn but equally unlikely to get any worse. (wind wise)

    Looking at the maps are we in for worse wind gusts later as the gusts are bad in Cork at the moment?

    Yeah would think so, in the early hours . Very strong S'ly veering SW later. Gusting up around 100 km/h on the coasts, maybe a bit more, about 80 km/h or so inland.

    There is a whole swathe of country covering large parts of Cork, Limerick and Tipperary which have no official weather stations to record actual wind speeds etc. Therefore if it doesnt officially happen - there is no storm ;)

    If you look at the radar loop the worst of the rain stayed west of a line near Galway city.

    Picked up a fair bit here in South Wicklow. Rain coming down hard and strong enough gusts blowing through. Is this expected to last all night? My road was flooded on Saturday and I'd say it would take little enough to bring the levels back up tomorrow. Thankfully the house is well elevated but that won't help me get to work tomorrow!
