What was your highest on Sunday?

I'm guessing you mean last Thursday, well highest mean was 24km/h with a gust max of 48km/h. So far today highest mean is 34km/h with a gust of 66km/h so its a big difference.

Ship SCKB a few hundred miles WSW of Valentia reported sustained winds of 58kts at 1800! Waves were 10.5m.....not a place to be!

Sorry, just jealous. I'm stuck inside with no windows or idea what it's like outside

Q 998.2hPa -2.2hPa/hr

CarMuppet · 16-11-2010 8:36pm

Ok back at house now. This is not funny. No way of measuring wind but there is a horrible hissing noise from windows when it gusts. Also trees out front (10 to 12m) are roaring and flexing.

H2UMrsRobinson · 16-11-2010 8:37pm

Definitely stronger gusts (louder? it's my only unit of measurement, I've asked for a a weather station from Santy) than Carmen gave last Thursday, and more sustained too. Need to go out and throw a couple of breeze blocks on top of the rabbits hutch - just in case!

rhonin · 16-11-2010 8:38pm

Very gusty here with heavy rain.

ninebeanrows · 16-11-2010 8:43pm

Howling here now with sounds of a few loose things moving around, few pots fallen over.

redsteveireland · 16-11-2010 8:43pm

Radar image looks pretty impressive on Met.ie . It's hard to make out my location on it though.

A few nice red returns on it too. Hoping for some thunder out of it soon.

irish1967 · 16-11-2010 8:44pm

Late to this thread..was this predicted at the weekend? I don't recall anything official.

Another clip here of a factory up the road from my house with some flood lights lit up behind it and you can make out the rain sheets blowing sideways,

the clip was shot with a Panasonic TZ3 and zoomed in at the maximum of 10x optical, cant wait to recieve my FZ100 from Amazon hopefully tomorrow

Depends on who you take your official predictions from.
Deep Easterly started this thread last Saturday so I suppose the answer is yes.

mike65 · 16-11-2010 9:01pm

Well I was thinking about met error.

Cú Giobach · 16-11-2010 9:03pm

What a wonderfull evening in WCork, house is sheltered from the W&N and open to the E&S so I'm getting a serious hammering here, I can hardly hear myself type

.
This is more like it.

Pity its not daylight to see the trees.

redsteveireland · 16-11-2010 9:04pm

@MIKE65
Well as we expect now they can't put their necks on the line too far ahead. The warning only went up last night I think(open to correction here).

Kinsale Energy platform reported 46 gust 56kts at 1900. This is at a much higher elevation than the standard 10m though (not sure exactly how high)

Achill is mentals with wind and rain tonight.....

There will be loopers of surfers out in this tomorrow if it holds. (Jealous really i'd never have the nerve to do something like that)

Sky keeps freezing too, that's my storm indicator

Sponge Bob · 16-11-2010 9:20pm

Highest gust at 19:00 was 58KT (107kph) and in Valentia again, meanwhile at 20:00 it was 56KT (104kph) and in Valentia yet again.

Belmullet and Mace have gone over the 50KT gust mark in the past hour or two as well. I expect they will top munster by 11PM

Iancar29 · 16-11-2010 9:31pm

Was gonna watch a film, but instead i decided id watch all the posts from the stormy parts of ireland 2nite as its only a bit breezy here in N Dublin. ... bag of popcorn and all i have!

GoneHome · 16-11-2010 9:36pm

It's very stormy here in North Co. Cork, worse than any of the previous "storms" we were supposed to be having here over the past few weeks, glad to be inside looking out.

mickger844posts · 16-11-2010 9:36pm

Mean 34km/h with gusts around 50km/h, haven't got close to my 66km/h gust about an hour ago. 5.8mm of rain since 6pm.

Deep Easterly · 16-11-2010 9:39pm

Met reports at 20:00hs in order of highest mean windspeed:

South bearing the brunt.

The different direction of the wind must be having an effect on how bad it sounds in the house, it sounds worse here than it did last Thursday, and you did get the full brunt of it on your road trip so your comparisons are all skewed.

Wertz · 16-11-2010 9:40pm

Only home, car got badly buffeted on the way down the M1.
Surprised at just how windy it is here and it hasn't even started raining yet.
Definitely sounds like it's worse than either of the last two storms, but probably because the wind is from a different direction. Rumbling and whistling in the chimney and gusts seem to be more sustained than last week.

...and there's the rain.

ellieh1 · 16-11-2010 9:45pm

Its a bad night here in Limerick, very gusty, I have so much admiration for the Munster and Aussie players and supporters who are braving the elements tonight. I drove by Thomond Park an hour ago and there were loads of people making their way into the stadium!!!

mickger844posts · 16-11-2010 9:50pm

Gathering more pace now, just had a 63km/h gust.

More Detail @ www.waterfordcityweather.com

cml387 · 16-11-2010 9:53pm

Really horrible night here.I got soaked just going out to the car two meters away.
Kudos to those who called this last weekend.

Ye its very quiet here, as to wat we got over in achill ( even in the sheltered areas)

But ye, hope people get some rough sea pictures in the morning if its still raging

sunbabe08 · 16-11-2010 10:08pm

heavier rain coming our way by looks of things on met eireann map

Winger_PL · 16-11-2010 10:20pm

As strange at it may sound, it's very calm in Maynooth and there's nothing to indicate the conditions at the other parts of the country. I could barely call the weather outside 'windy', there's a few branches moving a bit on the trees but that's it...

Su Campu · 16-11-2010 10:21pm

2100 reports

Roches Point 33 gust 57
Cork Airport 35 gust 55
Belmullet 29 gust 53
Valentia 22 gust 56

snaps · 16-11-2010 10:26pm

to me this storm seems worse than last thursday, but i think its because of the direction its coming from. Its really whistling around the house. Much more rain than last Thursday, roads are very very bad.

Sponge Bob · 16-11-2010 10:31pm

Heavy rain stopping along the west coast now, moving inland.

rhonin · 16-11-2010 10:34pm

The winds seem more sustained than Thursday but as snaps said it could be the wind direction. Lights flickering now. Very heavy rain.

DarkJager · 16-11-2010 10:37pm

Weather here in Cork at the moment is absolutely dire. Street lamps are swaying heavily and the rain has been non stop for the past few hours.
