    Nice gust of wind there here in Swords. Has got a few house/car alarms going.

    It's like dusk here in dundalk right now....grey leaden skies and wind has increased significantly...whhoooah, whistly in chimney now and rumble/howl of gust.

    Teeming with rain.

    [edit] Just increased to squall level there for about a minute.

    Was OwenC banned from here?

    I think so, but his mother wasn't! :D

    Saw OwenC posting somewhere else on Boards recently, I think in the Aviation forum, so obviously not banned from Boards.

    The line appears to be breaking up somewhat further west?

    that red line looks to be breaking up on the met eireann radar now

    Castlederg reporting 3c (and heavy rain) at 1400. Pretty impressive temps for middle of the day in mid-October.

    Clear blue sky overhead here with rain blowing in the wind. Nice double rainbow!

    Yes, the Cork defence systems are counter attacking~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :(

    Looks like a defined squall line is back..
    One of the biggest temp changes I have seen in a while


  • Registered Users Posts: 845 ✭✭✭tylercollins


    Going from reports on Facebook from friends it's actually snowing in Derry and also on the Glenshane Pass...


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,507 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Gone quite quiet in Swords right now. A true calm before the event.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    That line on the dioppler is impressive...raintoday's highest rainfall levels over much of N Louth the past 15 min, and they're spot on judging by how I can barely see out the window.

    Line very well defined again on 1500 ME radar.

    Hopefully it stays like that. These features have a tendancy to break up near Dublin.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,333 ✭✭✭Saganist


    Not far off Dublin now. The howl has subsided.. Must really be the calm before the storm.. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,655 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Squall line just passing overhead now, very impressive how you could visibly see the front as it approached. Seems to be brightening up behind it very quickly though?

    The rain here in ashbourne has started to get heavier that light blue colour is just over navan, looks like its about to get nasty :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 335 ✭✭markfla


    red line hitting Kilcock now


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,717 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Quieter here too at the moment, less frequent gusts, although as I type light rain is falling and breeze has increased to strong again. Squall line now about 20kms from me, showing embedded downpours, dont think ive seen the 16+ mm/hr colour from the new radar resolution before!

    Darkness is falling here in Maynooth as I type.... Started to rain properly a few minutes ago and wind picking up. And rain just started to come down seriously hard.

    Trees are almost bent over horizontal with the wind here. Sky to west getting very dark. Wind howling.
    Perfect day.
