Dublin 2, Grand Canal Dock. Not bad here yet, some light rain and a bit of wind.

Above was at 10am. Now it's quite blustery and raining heavily enough. A good kick out of him now! It's lovely and fresh.

Really turned up a notch now in Kildare

Sounds like Leinster is getting decent Atlantic type winds, glad to share it around with ye! Not too windy in North Clare currently, a shocking amount of rainfall since early this morning though. Flooding will be inevitable.

You're right it's, not too windy attal here.
Usually we get a right hammering

Going by GFS the mean speeds for North Clare will be pretty high but the gusts won't be as high as last weekend. Like last week though, the event is going to be a prolonged one.

It is still soaking in out here and then flows to the nearby ocean. Soon there will be two small "lakes" at each end of the path where the raised concrete ends. No danger yet.

I'm currently in the middle of the irish sea, right craic.. this bottle of writers tears is serving me well though

savj2 · 15-02-2020 1:53pm

Squall line passing over Mullingar now

GoneHome · 15-02-2020 1:57pm

Much worse than Storm Ciara, very high gusts here and the rain is bucketing down, a day for the high stool as the saying goes. South Co Limerick.

Rock Lesnar · 15-02-2020 1:58pm

Windy but not much rain so far here in meath, expected more rain then we have got so far

Goldfinch8 · 15-02-2020 1:59pm

A dirty enough day at Dublin Airport. It was announced that some flights were running late due to strong winds.

Hopefully you are in a boat?

Craigels · 15-02-2020 2:06pm

Seeing now that flights are being cancelled in Dublin Airport.

We are due to fly out if Dublin to Edinburgh on Tuesday morning at half 6 in the morning.

Should we be concerned or should it be dying off at that stage?

Thanks

Extremly windy atm with gusts which can be felt in the house. North Cork.

Flights from the US to Heathrow arriving on average 1 hour ahead of schedule from a quick look at a number of flight info websites

Cork Airport - planes arriving and departing

Even on a normal day, the early morning TATL arrivals can be an hour early! So much slack built into the schedule.

Dublin airport facing delays due to the use of RWY16, aircraft not having much trouble landing or taking off though.

Ah here, read the forecast!

A storm does not last 4 days, and cancellations on a Saturday don't affect your flight on a Tuesday.

Snow Garden · 15-02-2020 2:16pm

Rain easing off in Galway. Somewhat windy but nothing abnormal yet.

Was watching to see flight speeds. Some flights getting near maximum speed recorded last week . Jet stream helps!

Hurling schools games in Munster called off at the last minute,you would wonder why they didn't make the call yesterday,everyone knew today was going to be a horrible day

Darwin · 15-02-2020 2:23pm

Unbelievable amount of rain falling from that convective front in Laois heading eastwards.

Yep. Quite a distinctive feature on radar at the minute.

Meteorite58 · 15-02-2020 2:26pm

20mm now here near Tralee. light to moderate rain atm, winds have eased to a 10 min avg of 23 km/h

Road conditions bad around Tralee, lots of small floods and water pouring out of fields. Saw a couple of manhole covers damaged where the water burst up.

EDIT: a heavy burst of rain again.

Meteorite58 · 15-02-2020 2:27pm

A beauty.

So far thunderstorms staying mainly off the coasts.

Was watching some of the activity around 16 earlier and it was most impressive. An Air Canada A330 to YYZ took off with truly spectacular rocking and rolling.

An incoming Stobart got my outstanding airmanship award for its almost perpendicular approach and graceful landing. I'm raging I didn't film that one

pad199207 · 15-02-2020 2:37pm

It didnt last long, about a minute or 2, was real heavy rain though

blobbyblob · 15-02-2020 2:45pm

Busy couple of days ahead for ESB network crews. Incident reports totting up in Munster/South Leinster.

Are we becoming apathetic to weather warnings?

Had a bit of a lull with the wind and rain in waterford but its back with the rain. Not sure if that squall line will hit us

Thelonious Monk · 15-02-2020 2:51pm

Sunny in Dublin! Mental winds though. Is there much rain due for the capital?

15-02-2020 2:53pm

Tweet from person in Laois. Fair amount of rain coming down in that squall line.

Intense rain in Maynooth now.

Nothing much to report in Letterkenny, just another miserable washout of a day

Yep. Days like this in Dublin we would of played soccer in it and cycle to school.

The warning system will become ineffective after awhile.
Not Met fault though

Thepillowman · 15-02-2020 3:06pm

Calmed down a good bit in the last hour, 14mm of rain since 6pm yesterday. East Clare.

SEPT 23 1989 · 15-02-2020 3:09pm

Hitting Newcastle now

pad199207 · 15-02-2020 3:10pm

Sharp temperature drop also.
Top gust this morning of 43mph

How are things in cork city? Working in a shopping center so missing it all!

The rain has stopped and it is quite calm now.

Dennis was 925 hPa at 12Z today, 3 hPa higher and around 1 degree latitude (~110 km) further north than forecast yesterday. Unlikely to get below 920 hPa now, much to the discontent of the headline-writers.

Gonzo · 15-02-2020 3:28pm

another miserable day in Meath, cool and very wet.
