    Just back from morning walk with the dog in North Kildare, due west of Dublin. Strong breeze but nothing out of the ordinary and dry with a few spits of rain. Despite being so close to Dublin and bring upwind of it, it's quite a contrast between the two locations.

    Interesting that. I came into the city from bray and there were spells where i had to just push umbrella towards the wind. Driving wind and rain. Huge contrast

    For Dublin region readers, the main band of blustery rain and wind is still off to the southwest and won't arrive for an hour or two, there was an earlier burst of shower activity out ahead of that which was commented upon, but the main event is yet to appear there. It is going full blast around Galway to Limerick to just west of Waterford now, almost done in Cork. Conditions should improve fairly soon after the rain lets up but there will be several hours of this at any given location. I would expect the worst of it in Dublin between 0800 and 1100h. (edit in -- seems to be hopping forward in a few bands, let's say the worst of it will come in a few hours or it will be more widespread in the capital region later -- fast breaking developments anyway)

    Best get up and on the bike now then to miss the worst of it. Cheers for the heads up

    Looks quite severe around Limerick and south Clare, would appreciate any recent obs also from south Tipperary or Waterford.

    Not heard it as bad as this for a long long while. Gusts so sudden and ferocious your "startle " reflex takes over. A shrill whistling alongside the blasts.

    west mayo offshore island

    Worse than Callum? Which according to you was the most severe storm in history.

    Driving rain and gusty winds the last 45 minutes. Maybe starting to ease slightly now.

    Just heard a newscaster on the radio refer to today as storm Diana. Correct me if I'm wrong but is that not tomorrows winds?

    Limerick city here and while it's quite gusty and chucking it down (technical term!) I wouldn't quite go as far as severe. Haven't been out in it yet though...

    It was mad windy last night at around 2:30 where I am, woke me up it was so loud. I only moved into my house in the summer so haven't experienced too many storms but I'm in a little cottage where there isn't really much between the bedroom and the roof (ie virtually no insulation and if it wasn't for my ceiling, I could almost touch the roof) and I swear it sounded like my roof was coming off.

    I'm down in West Cork, in the Kilmichael area. Just kinda realising just how exposed my little house is

    You are correct, this little number is feeding off the same energy but Diana is just now north of the western Azores and won't be along for 24 hours yet. Perhaps this is Deirdre who was expecting a stage call.

    Walking into work an hour ago and my huge and very sturdy umbrella was comically shattered by a gust of wind :rolleyes: can't wait to go back out in it in another hour and a half!

    Edit: in Dublin city centre

    Just a heads up there is a crash on the n7 and traffic backed up to Naas

    KILDARE/DUBLIN: Gardai are en route to a crash on the N7 inbound reportedly after J5 Athgoe. Traffic is quite heavy on approach from J8 Johnstown.

    Analysis at 06Z. Diana is 960 hPa just northwest of the Azores. No wind reports from the two westernmost islands but it must be pretty bad.

    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.

    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.
