    I might as well get this out of the way,just a windy winters day here no need for a warning, or do I have to wait till tomorrow to post that!!


    I'd say it's best to wait to inflict maximum infuriation. Try and include something like "can't see what all the fuss is about" in your message.

    A sight to see. Maybe some one can grab a picture.

    Tried to take a photo but none are worth posting, they just look like little smudges, it’s all gone a bit grey and drizzly here. So unusual to see so many big boats tucked in behind st John’s Point.

    The incoming rain, ontop of yesterdays very heavy showers, and last weeks two days of very heavy rain. March is already very wet, loads of fields under water here in Cork atm.

    An Orange Alert in the NW is like a general Wet and Windy day elsewhere

    We get storms here that last 10 minutes in a shower that would be ridiculous to warn about

    thread will kick off late tomorrow evening as the storm exits the country,should i hang my clothes out,iv got a flight to take,should i cancel my hand gliding lesson,with suburban wheelie bin updates and frightening gusts coming down peoples chimneys in cork,traumatised cats and dogs,most exciting part is the post mortem,sure what was all that about etc,finished off with met bashing and arguing over the warning system.

    Looks a solid Orange into Donegal- think even the hardy folk there will notice this one. Inland gusts in excess of 60 knots

    The tone on this forum has been abysmal lately. Can we not just talk about the weather?

    Wind strong here in Cork City, Roches point at 42kts at the 7pm update and Cork Airport at 37 and rising. Heavy drizzle too with the odd burst of heavy showers. I believe there are no warnings in effect today besides a rain one right?

    Very much in the warm sector now here near Tralee at 10.7C , between the warm front that passed over and the oncoming cold front.

    Some nice line features on the back edge of the front .

    3.6mm so far and getting windy gusting up around 60 km/h

    What's the odds that the winds this evening will be worse than anything tomorrow?

    Latest ECM 12Z from 12.00 Tues , strong winds along the W coastal areas and into the NW and N. Windy across the country on Weds slow to ease.

    Could have winds gusting to around 120 km/h in coastal areas in the W , NW and N for around 12 hrs and slowly easing.

    Not too sure if the EURO 4 over ding it a bit. Met office did say they expect gusts between 50 and 60 mph overland in the North and maybe up to 80 mph along coasts. Good test to see how the model does.

    The EURO 4 would put Kerry and Clare gusting to 120 km/h on coasts for a time early evening Tues ? Probably Galway coasts also more so later in the evening.

    Anyone else getting the feeling that people in general might be in for a surprise on this one. Quiet in here even.

    In general I think the models at the moment just showing it might reach 130 km/h or thereabouts in coastal fringes only , or of course over high ground .IMO in general I think showing gusts to 120 km/h in coastal areas, up to 110 km/h more inland . That doesn't take away from the fact that it will be a rough spell in the Orange warning areas.
