    Thought it was interesting to compare this wind event to Storm Callum from last October 12th, using the met.ie wind forecast model (I picked the times that showed peak winds in my location). Here's Callum first:

    Forecast for tomorrow 5am next:

    Interesting to see a country of two halves by 5am! The wind field for Callum was much more extensive and pushed much further inland than what is forecast tonight/tomorrow.

    Max Gust of 69km/h at my station which is higher than during Deirdre. More of a storm feel out there that you get from these deep Atlantic Low Pressure systems with huge wind fields. An interesting night ahead

    Light breeze here outside Newport, Mayo.
    Max gust today for me was 38km which is normal for West Mayo this time of year.
    What isn't normal is all the rain. Most of the afternoon where I was working in Castlebar and all the way home it was just hammering it down. Newport to Castlebar road is like a river in places.
    Rain guage is out of action but there's a 10lt paint tin out the back that's half full, it was empty this morn.

    I'm surprised Met Eireann aren't saying much about rainfall....40mm is high by any standard but with fields waterlogged it equals significant flooding for me.
    I'd say the dam in Cork will be at breaking point by tomorrow night

    Strong enough in East Galway, damn gate is rattling away. Had to hold onto one of the kids earlier when we got caught by a gust going to the car, thought she was going to be blown over.

    There's a yellow warning for rainfall?

    Tis lovely and mild. Some amount of water though. Saw fair bit of road flooding in the usual spots on drive to Oughterard.
