YELLOW WIND WARNING

Status Yellow - Wind warning for Ireland

Strong and gusty southwest winds will veer westerly early this afternoon with some severe and damaging gusts; heavy squally spells of rain continuing too.

Valid: 07:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019 to 16:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019

Issued: 07:00 Tuesday 10/12/2019
________________________________________
Some squally bands of rain crossing the country between now and this afternoon likely to give some very strong winds.

Met Eireann mention ‘Severe and Damaging Gusts’ words that I would only associate with an orange Level warning.

Gusty morning this morning in cork city, wet too. Not a nice morning to wake up

MeTheMan · 10-12-2019 10:18am

Very wet here in Leitrim. Wind isn't to bad, blustery.

ZX7R · 10-12-2019 10:19am

Wasn't a nice ride home from work on the motorcycle this morning.

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 10:22am

Wild fierce buffeting winds out here much of the night and increasing steadily

Deluging almost non stop too.

Currently in a static caravan in West Clare.... It's being buffeted by the wind since about 4am

ninebeanrows · 10-12-2019 11:09am

Buffeting winds last night in d11

SleetAndSnow · 10-12-2019 11:16am

Mace head at 54kts, roches point at 45 and cork airport at 43.

Lashing rain here

pauldry · 10-12-2019 11:22am

If a squall line forms in the clearance localised severe gusts could result from weakened trees buffetted by Atiyah

Brutal day in Galway city today. Absolutely miserable outside.

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 11:42am

‘Buffeted’ must be the word de-jour. very strong winds in Kildare

Mortelaro · 10-12-2019 11:48am

53kmh gusting 72kmh South West in Arklow at the moment
Howling
But sure we're all getting used to the howling by now
At least we had a break yesterday

DOCARCH · 10-12-2019 11:49am

Windier this morning in this part of Dublin than anything Atiyah had to offer.

Just saw an ATR72 land from the east at Cork Airport in the last few mins- 10/10 there. that was after they deiced against a northern approach.

Storm 10 · 10-12-2019 11:58am

Way worse in Galway today than Sunday absolutely lashing rain with very strong winds, my station is showing wind 40 to 55 mph with a recent gust to 59mph, did not reach that on Sunday in an Orange warning if the tide was in Salthill would be seeing waves coming over the prom.

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 12:01pm

Much worse than Atiyah here now. Building materials blowing down the road

nthclare · 10-12-2019 12:06pm

Lahinch is getting battered with wind and swell, high tides at 4ish so it'll be getting a pounding around then.
8ft swell at the moment, so as the tide rises these waves could generate more size as they roll over the reefs

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 12:16pm

A brief but definite pause in the wind here. And in the rain for a few minutes.. brief indeed but welcome

Be assured all is well here. Stocked up with food and fuel and plenty of knitting work to keep me busy. I could last literally weeks like this. All planned.

In that brief lull, managed to get outside and even pick a few marigolds .

Drumming down again now, and the ground and paths outside are seriously waterlogged and puddled . Safe on the concrete path.

Cat is sitting by the gate and thought I was going to take him a walk, poor lad

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 12:21pm

Might have a squall feature developing in the west at the moment

NIMAN · 10-12-2019 12:23pm

Miserable is the best word I would use today.

Heavy drizzle coming sideways.

Xenji · 10-12-2019 12:25pm

A miserable day in Castlebar, a max gust of 80 km/hr and over 15mm of rain so far.

Oneiric 3 · 10-12-2019 12:33pm

Those living along the west coast might get to see the odd flash later on tonight, and more particularly, overnight, as showery troughs move in off the Atlantic:

Risk would be pretty low however but maybe one or two spots might see something.. maybe.

Excuse my , please, but not sure what that is and what it entails?

Del.Monte · 10-12-2019 12:37pm

Horrible day in Enniscorthy - strong, gusty wind and bucketing down all morning.

A very narrow band of intense rain and strong winds crossing the country.

tiegan · 10-12-2019 1:18pm

Squall line just hit Fethard Co Tipp!!

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 1:20pm

Quite a temperature contrast ahead and behind the front

Danno · 10-12-2019 1:35pm

Squall line moving into western Laois. Top gust so far in south Laois of 36mph. Just 1.4mm since 10am.

Danno · 10-12-2019 1:47pm

Squall line going through south Laois.

A drop of 3c in fifteen minutes and a top gust of 37mph (almost gale force which is 39mph).

Mad stuff! Just 2mm of rainfall though and looking out at it you would say it was a soaking wet morning. Just goes to show what the wind makes the rain seem like.

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 2:13pm

Not often I quarrel with the weather but this is like nothing else!

Heavy hard-drumming rain, and the paths and garden beyond the raised concrete pathway are flooded and muddied. And no respite. Dratted wind is gusting smoke from the stove into the kitchen.

And they say worse to come?

cherryghost · 10-12-2019 2:19pm

Squall line through clondalkin and temps have dropped 2c in minutes

squarecircles · 10-12-2019 2:20pm

severe gusts just blew up here out of nowhere on the west coast now,west Mayo.

Meteorite58 · 10-12-2019 2:28pm

Some morning here in Tralee, hasn't stopped raining with frequent heavy pulses and now a heavy mix of hail and rain and temperature dropping back. Blustery.

DOCARCH · 10-12-2019 2:28pm

That squall line has just arrived in Dublin 16. 13.5c atm.

BLIZZARD7 · 10-12-2019 2:29pm

Wind and rain picking up suddenly in D4 too, quite gusty.

Yep. Quite a distinctive feature on the 1.15pm radar image.

Not too much rain (here) from that, but temp has dropped to 10.5c. Fall of 3c in 10 minutes.

pad199207 · 10-12-2019 2:46pm

Was like buckets of water being thrown at the windows in Naas with very strong winds racing down the street.
13mm in the gauge

SleetAndSnow · 10-12-2019 2:53pm

Down to about 7 degrees in cork city from 13 in the last hour or two. Wind has died down a bit but still wet

Mortelaro · 10-12-2019 2:57pm

6.4l mm in Arklow so far,80kmh max gust
Still raining and gusting to 50
10.2c

It was an awful lot worse just west of you
Awful you missed out

Jpmarn · 10-12-2019 3:04pm

Didn’t notice any particular squall in my location near Limerick City earlier today. We have persistent rain and wind for quite a few hours now.

charlietheminxx · 10-12-2019 3:12pm

Popped home at lunch and my estate was like a wheelie bin obstacle course. Someone else's recycling has cleared the 6ft fence into the back garden. I had missed the warning, wasn't expecting this weather at all.

EDIT: My house is in North County Dublin.

Graces7 · 10-12-2019 6:37pm

The wind is slowly gentling to an amicable roar with a purr in its voice!

Slowly peacening. Just a louder huff now and then to remind us!

Bliss!

NB Had just finished the above when an almighty squall erupted! The loudest yet and an almighty loud tattoo on the roof!

So much for peace!

Gaoth Laidir · 10-12-2019 9:48pm

It was a wet and windy day, but seriously, is there really a need for a thread for every yellow warning?

M.T. Cranium · 10-12-2019 11:29pm

We'll check on the storm index for this un-named mini-maelstrom (look for it tomorrow). Storm index was presented as a new concept over in the Atiyah thread. Lorenzo is the current under-achiever at 15/100.

What are we conserving valuable thread space for?

Maybe to stir up some healthy debate (

) there could be a separately calculated "Predicted storm index" that tabulates the highest state of M.E. warnings applied to any given storm event?
