    Wicklow and South Dublin is very stormy at the moment, Just drove from Shankill to Wicklow and it's the stormiest I have seen it in a while, passed a tree down and lots of wheelie bins. I cant help but feel that this has been underestimated by met E, there was much more on the radio etc about last weeks storm and that didn't affect us.

    My event for this system was this morning, almost nothing at all after 09:10am it threatened in the mid afternoon, but it was just a whimper.

    Its a bit gusty in West Dublin but certainly nothing unusual. So Met E were correct in not hyping this event.

    Yes I think it did catch them on the hop so to speak. For example, at 9am this morning there was no weather warning in place on their website (in stark contrast to MT's alert some hours earlier). The warning suddenly appeared around 9.20 for Kerry, Cork and Waterford and then later upgraded for other counties too. Generally I find met.ie spot on and I think in fairness there was an unexpected last minute turn taken by this depression.

    Over the last hour it has been very windy here in Wicklow Town. Definitely much more than usual. In fact I can't remember this much sustained wind for a long time. Has calmed down a bit in the last few mins but am not surprised to hear trees are down.

    Wind never really got going here. Windy but not too strong.

    The winds in Arklow may be due to some funneling effect with the mountains?

    Not in my house at the moment so can't check the latest gusts,but it is howling here consistently for 3 to 4 hours now with some mad squalls of wind.Dangerous to be driving minor roads on as there's debris that can fly from anywhere.the whistling of it,I haven't heard in some time,it's blowing down from the lugnaquilla direction,so you may be right on a funnelling effect.

    Sustained windspeed of 30mph along the banks of the foyle tonight. No camera with me, but the foyle itself was like it was the seaside. 3/4 foot waves, may not seem to be much but this is a river lol

    Bad night here in wicklow alright

    From AA
    Severe delays southbound on the N11 Dublin/ Wexford Rd at Glen of the Downs as the road is blocked by a fallen tree.

    There is also debris on the road at Ballynameesda bends, obstructing traffic in both directions. Traffic is being diverted via the Tap but there is another tree down on the diversionary route and traffic is partially obstructed. Delays should be expected. Also note that there are severe cross winds are affecting traffic flow. There are also reports of another tree down at the Beehive.

    WICKLOW: Fallen trees are obstructing traffic on the Greenhill Rd and on the Marlton Rd in Wicklow Town. Expect delays.

    WICKLOW: There is a fallen tree on Vale Rd, Arklow. Avoid the area.

    WICKLOW: A fallen tree has been cleared on the local Ashford/ Glenealy Rd near Ballylusk Quarry.

    WICKLOW: A fallen tree has been cleared from Church Rd, Greystones.

    WICKLOW: Another tree has fallen on the Avoca/ Aughrim Rd (R747). Take care in the area.

    WICKLOW: Reports of a number of trees down around the Newtownmountkennedy area.

    Glad not to be out about tonight still very windy out

    Winds finally starting to die down a small bit in Wicklow. Very strange that Wicklow seems to be the worst hit county - I thought the south would be hit hardest?

    Up on Windgates in Greystones, we always get the worst of the winds up here but there's been nothing more than strong gusts all day. Surprised to hear of trees down, for some reason we're not getting the battering we expected.

    Still blowing strong in Arklow. Wicklow definitely seems to have been hit bad.

    I still don't understand why Donegal was included in M.E Orange wind warning. It wasn't even breezy here.

    It was windy enough to take the power out of a short while on the NW coast of Donegal. The onsite report I got was that it was pretty breezy..... (code for gale to storm force) lol..

    Well it wasn't windy at all with me or with friends I spoke to in different locations albeit none of them were on the NW coast so I'll take your word for it ha

    So it seems for most places it didn't turn out as bad as expected, but other places (like Wicklow) it turned out to be surprisingly windy.

    An interesting one to watch develop but not one for the record books by any means. It's early in the windstorm season though, just a taste of what to expect maybe.

    the sustained winds through offaly yesterday were awesome - around 3-4 o clock. Was on the golf course. It was insane how windy it was!
