    The coastal counties will see the highest winds which is usually what happens.

    Not Disputing that at all, just how once you hit a county border the weather seems to reduce in severity in some cases.

    Anyway off topic so I will keep schtum.

    Every day is a day for the fire at the moment unfortunately.

    Ya think?

    Things have been OK - in Dublin at least.

    Hasn't felt too wet and it's been sunny enough. It's late October after all...

    Storm Aidan on All Hallow's Eve... . All Hallows Eve. then All Hallows Day ie All Saints Day, , then All Souls Day. An auspicious weekend for storms.

    It is so quiet now .

    All lies ahead. Good to have such clear warnings; thank you!

    Latest ECM 06Z and ICON 06Z

    ECM bringing stronger winds on this run along Southern coasts, think there could be very strong winds running across into the midlands in the afternoon. Just my thoughts but thinking very strong winds could whip in there for a time around 11.00 or 12.00 for a couple of hours or so. Will keep an eye to see if the charts develop it more.

    That third pic shows it coming right across North Clare in the Midlands, looks like it might be a wild one! Will try to get a video of Doolin Pier tomorrow morning.

    UKMO showing a very tight gradient along Southern counties. Very generalized map with not much detail but showing the strongest winds of all the models atm.

    What a beautiful Autumn day before the storm.
    The storm is probably a good thing - it will distract the kids from the fact they cant trick-or-treat.
    It will distract the rest of us from non-stop Covid.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I still can't get over how the weather sticks to county borders.

    Yeah why is veering around County Limerick? Is it lower lying or something?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    Didn't we already have storm Aiden? What was the A-storm we had back a month or two ago?

    EDIT: Scratch that. I'm having a senior moment. It was Alex.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Gaoth Laidir


    These charts start at 18Z yesterday and go up to Monday.

    In times gone by, an Orange warning storm thread would be absolutely hopping. People would even be asking whether there was any chance of a Red so they could skive off work.

    Covid has ruined everything ;)

    The UKMO have the low 7 hPa lower at 12Z tomorrow in their 12Z forecast today compared to their 00Z forecast (967 versus 974 hPa). The centre is about 2 degrees (120 NM) further to the north-northwest, however, so the gradient across the country looks slightly slacker as a result.

    Forecast issued at 12Z today.

    Alex was named by Méteo France, which uses a different list, along with AEMET of Spain, IPMA of Portugal and IRM of Belgium.

    How are the charts looking this evening? (Upgrades or downgrades) I thought it would be very active in here by now. The sense in the locality seems to be that there's a good storm coming. We spent the evening clearing everything away from around the house and garden.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,762 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    The emphasis for the strongest winds has moved very much to the W and NW. Both main models have tracked further N on the latest runs . Will this trend of tracking further N continue ? ECM has a tighter gradient near the W / NW and showing stronger winds. Close to red warning there for a time going by the ECM unless it drifts a bit further away from the coasts ?

    Of the other models ICON has been the most consistent, ARPEGE getting there and GFS stronger now as well but not developing the stronger section in the W. NW tomorrow afternoon.
