    Listening to BBC radio 5 live weather there, he said risk of very strong winds tonight and that they are keeping an eye on it.

    Yes the ECM has eased off the wind by quite a bit, other models have eased the strongest gusts more to coastal areas but are still showing stronger than the ECM in general.

    A cross between the ECM and ARPEGE perhaps.

    ARPEGE probably a good average .

    I know you weather enthusiasts don’t like being asked specific questions, but here goes anyway. What are the chances of the Stenna ferry leaving Holyhead @ 2.30 am tomorrow morning being disrupted? Thanks

    It's the bally ballyness of it that makes it all seem so bally bally.

    Are we really looking at 140/km+ in cork?

    Weather safety alerts has similar red warning potential. One way of getting people to visit your Facebook page I suppose.

    Hard one to call. I'm not a weather expert by any stretch of the imagination; but I've been (obsessively) looking at ferry sailing versus weather charts for the last 2 weeks to allow me make a sailing - in my humble opinion it won't sail due to sea conditions... but do just keep an eye on this site : https://www.stenaline.ie/ferries-to-britain/latest-sailing-updates/dublin-port-holyhead/holyhead-dublin-port


    Met give updates here

    http://archive.met.ie/forecasts/coastal.asp



    I was sailing on the Stena Europe and it was cancelled numerous times this weekend past due to Rough / Very Rough conditions; you're looking to travel on the Stena Adventurer which is a larger ship so not too sure of its restrictions. Wave height may be ~3.5 meters or greater at the time of your sailing.

    again not an expert here; just posting a very amateur opinion! Best of luck and hope your travel plans work out.

    Lashing rain here in cork city, miserable.

    Airport TAF is expecting max gusts of 55kts from 6-10. They are from the southeast however which is an unusual direction so not sure how they will be.

    Southeast winds always seem more stormy than they are is there any reason for this.

    Gusty and wet in Sligo with a few rattles even though gusta are only 35 or 40 knots

    Jasus this country - sub arctic sun one day and then chilly monsoon the next!

    Rain arrived here at just about 7.30 and it's now tipping down and gusty. I have to do some outdoor work this afternoon so I'm really hoping this at least eases off by say 3 pm

    SE'rly element might make things a little more spicy in Eastern coastal areas (i.e. Dublin). We've really missed out on some of the windier episodes lately - don't think the airport has hit a yellow warning gust in several storms.

    ICON 06Z now showing stronger winds in Kerry and Clare for this evening and not as strong in the W as earlier shown. Has a different shape to it today bringing strong winds inland from Kerry / Clare in a N/ E direction.

    Changing right at the last minute, ARPEGE rolling out, will see if it looks similar.

    Traditinally houses in exposed areas would have been built with their gable end to the prevailing wind. Similarly vegatation would be sculpted by the prevailing wind. A south east wind would be broadside to both and might seem stronger as a result.

    Interesting, Rural houses in Ireland tend to be front facing south, back to the north. The coldest house I ever rented bucked this trend. A modern build to face the road and impossible to heat ( up in the mountains) Its old ruined neighbour was in the north /south tradition,

    Out here on the north coast shore, they built the ruined cottage next to me, 150 years old, gable ends north and south. Square on to the Atlantic gales And my demountable dwelling the same way.

    The nearest house, a few hundred years away around the same era, , is the front to the south and back to the north tradition

    As for trees.... all gone. A few stalwart fuschias un perturbed by wind direction.

    One day I shall have a look at the other houses out here ;)

    This storm seems to be hard to pin down, it does look like some fairly strong winds (100Km/h+) for a while tonight as the low sweeps north. Those strong winds are showing further east on 6z GFS vs the 6z Icon.

    If this is what gusts from the south east at about 35/40kts is like, then 55 will sound bad! Lashing rain here with h that's sounding a lot stronger then they are.

    Probably the stormiest day we have had in Waterford this year. Regular gusts near 70km/h and driving rain. Seas in Tramore are extremely rough. And the worst is yet to come. The South East always a potent wind in these parts.

    Heavy rain in south dublin but little wind yet. I need to go to the supermarket. Debating to go soon or risk it til later. Wind and rain and me standing at a luas stop is not a pleasant thought though.

    Looks set to worsen so maybe bite the bullet and get it over with; else it will be on your mind the whole day.

    Just checking here to see if it is going to be OK for ferries tomorrow so MY groceries will come over!

    Good luck..

    Looks like this will be worse than a lot of named storms and therefore overlooked in terms of potential
