    Truly one of the strangest weather events we've ever had. If warnings were never issued I'd have never thought it was anything other than a slightly poor weather day.

    Low must be tracking marginally further south , delayed development - you know these situations are on a knife edge !

    We'll see what happens over rest of evening and night :)

    989.0hPa Falling Rapidly here near Tralee, dropped over 12 hPa in 5 hrs, Shannon at 990hPa at 18.00 report.

    I reckon the center is quite close by now. Brighter with cloud whizzing by in a SW wind. Gusting to about 60 km/h ( my site after getting sheltered by trees )

    Can make out the centre of the depression I think as the cloud begins to hook around as it approaches Clare at the 18.35 frame.

    My Voin electronic barometer has just started to flash and bleep as pressure has taken a sudden drop in the last 15 mins. Currently 989.4 hPa and now falling very rapidly. Wind NNE and increasingly a little with rain becoming near torrential.

    The Arpege seems to be fairly representative to what the majority of the models are showing.

    Not a very good start to the storm forecasting season. I'm in Dublin visiting family and it's raining moderately heavy but completely calm. Even if the forecast did materialise I don't think it warranted a name... I know the UK met office decided to use the name but that to was premature. The usage of a name for a non - event makes the general public sceptical about the whole thing. It's getting like America, complete hype over Irma and in the end it was an average hurricane when it struck Florida.

    Disagree, part of the UK, particularly around Liverpool, look like they could get a nice slap of wind later.

    Only 8c in Knock and 10c in Dublin, while it's 15c in both Cork and Shannon!

    Cork gusting 39kts at 7pm

    Rain has cleared Dublin 16 now (3.2mm from that) and wind has picked up noticeably in the last 30 minutes. Pressure dropping rapidly.

    A lot of wind across the UK overnight.

    Looking at the storm from its formation on the SW coast to deepening over Ireland and England and leaving the E coast early morning with storm force winds.

    Storm Aileen has yet to impact the UK as it develops over Ireland.therefor it can't be a non invent as it has yet to impact them.the low pressure (storm Aileen) was a yellow weather alert in ireland.

    Doc. I'm in Terenure very calm here and my place normally feels like a wind tunnel at the best of times.

    The Arpege model seems to have a pretty good handle on things in these type of rapidly developing situations. I kept data from Storm Doris (Feb 21st last) and noted then it outperformed the GFS model for wind predictions. Hardly a puff of wind in West Laois, I think the centre of the low will be passing over this direction in the next few hours.
