    Winds have eased a bit and can see sky starting to brighten to the west of me so that’s probably the worst of the rain gone through.

    It shows cold frontogenesis, a developing cold front.
    Thought as much - not terribly common thing to see on the fax charts so a good sign of the potential in this storm although she'll be well matured by the time she arrives on our shores.

    Warnings for Diana will be issued later this morning. Trying best not to confuse the two events.

    Louth wasn’t in the warning but honestly it’s oretty horrible here. Heavy rain, very windy. The kind of weather where you don’t want to go anywhere at all.

    Dublin Port has been closed due to the conditions out there, has a knock on affect on the M50 and surrounding areas as the tunnel has now been closed and traffic pretty much just stopped now on the M50.

    On a bit of a hill here in county Waterford, very strong gusts and driving rain. Windows taking a belting. Back from school run, fair bit of spot flooding. Feels mild temp-wise. Almighty gusts there now, making me nervous!

    Very heavy heading towards the Port this morning due to restrictions.
    Traffic is being metered into the southbound bore of Port Tunnel due to restrictions at the port. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes. As a result, traffic is heavy entering the tunnel with delays back to J4 Donabate on the M1.

    Anyway. How could issues at sea cause road traffic issues.
    Are they having trouble loading trucks onto the ferry?.

    It's positively wild out around Dublin docklands. Walking to work, i saw countless umbrella sudden deaths, esp. around grand canal square and Rosie Hackett bridge. Gusts were really bad, people struggling at times to walk in it. I don't know how people cycle in that weather, mad feckers!

    Anyway. How could issues at sea cause road traffic issues.

    that was before the one I posted above, its metered at the moment and now "Dublin Traffic: Trucks drivers North of service stations in Lusk are being asked to pull over temporarily due to traffic backlogs. Please await further updates"

    Mental rain in Dundalk and bins blowing around the road, in the dark, with terrible visibility. Fun times!

    Gaoth Laidir, the unusual looking cold front west of the Azores, does that signify a developing cold front or something? The line is not solid so it obviously signifies something.

    It is a developing front - heres a good page for descriptions of the various fronts (bottom of the page) - https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/guide/weather/symbols

    The buildings cause the wind to seem more severe. I know we don't have skyscrapers, but skyscraper effect winds are a thing. It wasn't so bad out in the suburbs - I regretted being traffic rather than on the bike this morning.
