    Slightly further up than irish1967, I have to agree with some previous posts the wind seems to be increasing in strength and worse than previous nights.

    Surprised by all the comments here, especially people in the north. Monday night was probably the worst night here in the past 10 years, tonight where I am is just a typical stormy night we get almost weekly at this time of year

    Don't know if I'm sheltered or just got really badly hit on Monday but its nowhere near as bad here

    Think the main difference was the hour the strongest Gusts arrived was very late.

    For those feeling stronger winds than the previous storm, likely reason is better exposure of your location to 280 deg than the 220-250 deg vector of the previous storm. Most airport locations have peaked 5-10 kts lower than the previous storm. But I can believe that some parts of Donegal are feeling it worse with all the hills and coastal effects changing in this slightly different direction today.

    Peak winds in Donegal are now occurring and there should be a slow decrease later tonight, I believe, from models and K4 buoy reports which have just fallen by 7 kts past hour, also K5 well to north has slow declining trend.

    Squall line not quite supported, more of a sliding front that will take on more of a NW-SE orientation as it becomes parallel to the jet stream, this may focus the heavier rain more into west Munster later on, with just passing sleety showers further north as winds veer slightly from about 280 to 300 deg. (W to WNW basically) ... tomorrow will be considerably colder in the north, slightly colder in the south, but in general, not as windy as today.

    Very bad winds up on Windgates, Greystones this evening. Much stronger than monday. Double glazed glass doors only resealed a few weeks ago & the wind is howling through them. Sea having some serious activity too. Probably the worst I've seen in the 6 years I've been here.
    4 big dogs here & I'm having to go out with them everytime one wants to go for a pee as the fence & gate are wobbling.
    Wish I had a weather station!

    I concur with my Wicklow brethren. This seems like the worst winds we've had in this stormy period.

    Unfortunately the bloody anemometer on my WS2300 is broken and I haven't put the replacement up yet. Typical....

    Can we call this the Wicklow storm? :p






    I'd get me coat but it's too windy out.........;)

    I see there is a freezing drizzle report in for Shannon at 9pm. Freezing drizzle can cause serious issues for aircraft. Of course, I am presuming this is a mistake in the 9pm report with 10c reported there!

    I'm about 6-7 miles as the crow flies from Shannon Airport.

    Yes there is drizzle in the area and yes, the house is not heating up very well and it feels cold. But nothing freezing here........

    Still blowing a hoolie, the dog is going berserk. Every bang, he thinks there's someone at the door. The chimney sounds as if we have an express train doing manoevers in it.

    Monday night was definitely the worst in the past ten years, tonights storm is definitely not as bad for me but its worse than a typical stormy night that I have got here in the past few weeks and thats saying a lot. Some extreme gusts that would toss a person (literally) and cause damage.

    looks nice?? snow? because looking nice in winter means snow and cold temperatures. because this warm weather is not on during winter.

    Even for my Southerly location it's nothing major out there. Something must be shadowing my area. A pity, I seem to missing out on 'extreme' winds in the South.

    Seems like the last of the big winds for awhile, settling down next week, and have my fingers crossed for mid-month cool down!

    There is eery howling noise from the sky but on the surface the winds arent extreme just strong.

    Say it is fair windy a few hundred metres up.

    Cold front is beginning to grow at the back of the frontal area.

    Next few hours will see if it builds for us. Building well for the north of England at the present.

    Cross winds of between 40knts and 50knts were reported at Dublin airport this afternoon.

    Windsheer was reported at 200 feet by several aircraft.

    One Ryanair flight aborted its landing, opting for a go-around for a second attempt due to conditions at the time.

    Anyhow, here's a quick shot of conditions for flights landing.

    A few showers assoc with cold front beginning to beef up over north mids south ulster.

    These convective cookies will bring some high winds to the surface so watch out for them!

    The storm yesterday was worse when winds peaked after 5am, it is a bit off the levels reached yesterday around here but very windy none the less.
    Highest gust at 4metres here was 63km/hr.

    Just noticed them on the radar but suspect they might pass bit east of here. Very windy here since 9pm but gusts not as strong as 3am Monday.
