Hooter23 · 12-11-2015 3:22pm

The sun is out in Galway but still very gusty at times

ronnie3585 · 12-11-2015 3:23pm

Blowing very hard in Galway city now. Feels like the roof is going to take flight!

Would the weather in Dublin over the past hour indicate a squall line?

Smidge · 12-11-2015 3:49pm

Well that gust nearly took the roof off :eek:(cavan/meath border)

Storm 10 · 12-11-2015 3:53pm

Galway and especially Salthill should be interesting around 5.30 with the high tide, its sure to come over the promenade with this wind.

Rock Lesnar · 12-11-2015 4:00pm

Sun is out again in north meath, wind has decreased a bit since the rain earlier

Hooter23 · 12-11-2015 4:11pm

Sounds rough enough in Galway have no idea about wind speeds though

It is raining sideways here in Donegal now! Haven't seen rain like this for a long time, wind picking up again. Currently on the third floor of the house, thinking of retreating to the basement!

miamee · 12-11-2015 4:34pm

Gone VERY dark outside and raining again here in Dublin 2

Doylers · 12-11-2015 4:34pm

Lot of rain in waterford at the mo

On the motorbike today with no wet gear haha praying it clears up a bit in next few hours to get home

Oscar Bravo · 12-11-2015 4:50pm

Same here in west Kildare. No leaves left to see. 1001mb and 10.8c @1630

Hooter23 · 12-11-2015 5:34pm

Notice it starting to feel colder now winds fairly calm now in Galway so flooding in Salthill shouldn't be a problem

Oscar Bravo · 12-11-2015 5:36pm

1600 Reports Malin Head 64 knots . nice gust!

youreadthat · 12-11-2015 5:44pm

I thought this was going to make England a bit more unsettled than it has. Did it track further west? Not even a recorded gust here in Bedfordshire, just a mild breeze.

Its a bit further northwest than progged yesterday, Bedfordshire was unlikely to see much more than a strong breeze in any case.

Padster90s · 12-11-2015 6:04pm

East Galway atm, its completely calm, not even a breeze.

Villain · 12-11-2015 6:19pm

My station in Tullow recorded a top gust of 87km/h at 12:48

Oscar Bravo · 12-11-2015 6:22pm

64 knots at Malin head at 1600 is likely to be the strongest gust that will be recorded. winds from now on will just be blustery in and around showers. Showers along the west coast will have lightning.

jimmynokia · 12-11-2015 6:30pm

Had about ten minutes rain and wind today and it was over

Similar here in Cork's southside

shaunn · 12-11-2015 6:56pm

The rain hasn't really hit here in Mullingar. There was a heavy shower earlier about half 3 but there was a lot of strong winds from 4pm, still going now.

JCX BXC · 12-11-2015 6:57pm

Nothing major here in west clare. Several squally showers and heavy winds from 14:00-15:00 but thats about it.

squarecircles · 12-11-2015 7:16pm

The crazy rain from earlier today,the quality isn't great,and the orientation is wrong, but you get the idea.

JCX BXC · 12-11-2015 7:18pm

Got very windy in Dublin a few minutes ago, Dublin airport was reporting gusts of 48kts

Oneiric 3 · 12-11-2015 7:22pm

HIRLAM has another zone of gusty winds passing through the central belt of the country tomorrow morning as a shortwave feature passes through.

Harry Palmr · 12-11-2015 7:27pm

Nothing of any interest here in Waterford city.

hatrickpatrick · 12-11-2015 7:43pm

Is there any possibility of Saturday evening in Dublin not being a total washout?

Oneiric 3 · 12-11-2015 8:16pm

Peak gust speeds up to 18z as on Ogimet, so subject to quality control by met eireann over the next few days.

Baggy Trousers · 12-11-2015 8:46pm

Nothing happening in West Galway. Colder than recent days - around 7C.

Padster90s · 12-11-2015 9:01pm

Yeah, wasn't much but it made for a change from recent weather! Wouldn't mind some thunder to round the day off.

Clonmel1000 · 12-11-2015 9:22pm

Non event for most of country? Was a squally day here but nothing out of the ordinary for November.

Storm 10 · 12-11-2015 9:24pm

Gone calm in Galway now, it was just an ordinary gale really nothing out of the ordinary for us here, is that it now as looking at the forecast after the 6 news she said damaging gusts tonight. Cant see where they are going to come from.

Once again in the SE we escaped it all

66 kts is only 75 mph that can't be hurricane speed as we have often had 80 mph winds and no mention by ME of a hurricane, all day they said Storm 10

redsteveireland · 12-11-2015 9:53pm

Heavy rain with a good bit of hail here for the last 20mins. Just need some thunder to finish the night off!

redsteveireland · 12-11-2015 9:57pm

Shaped up nicely over the UK.

Yes but that was just gusts in a Catergory 1 Hurricane that would just be the minimum sustained winds imagine that:pac:

That's gusts. It needs to be sustained wind above 64 knots for hurricane force.

That's just a light breeze for them, they don't consider it windy unless it hits above 100km

It wasn't too bad here in Newport, a few strong gusts but nothing major. The rain was relentless for a few hours but cleared up nicely.

squarecircles · 12-11-2015 11:32pm

More thunder and lightning activity on the mayo coast just now,hail and gusty winds.

Just a calm night here in Newport so far, a slight breeze picking up from the SW so I'd say it won't be long until we get it.

NIMAN · 12-11-2015 11:42pm

Its relatively gentle winds up here in the NW.

No sign of any storm, yet.

it was wetter and windier around tea time.
