    I think today's system needs highlighting, seems to have steadily increased in intensity in successive runs with a reasonably tight core to the south of the centre, what is concerning or interesting about this system is the core of very high winds is set to make a direct landfall over Ireland and not must brush the northwest coast like usual.

    So latest NAE showing very tight gradient over Ireland this evening/overnight.

    GFS wind @ 925hPa showing few 70knot barbs.

    So this system likely to affect a wider swathe of the country than Mondays and i suppose what i am underlining is the greater Dublin region is also at risk later tonight.

    I would suggest gusts from 60-70 knots are likely today/tonight.

    That could get quite violent in areas unused to it, along with instability there could be some spectacular conditions in the early hours tomorrow

    getting sick of this wind already, never really been a fan of wind, seems like it's been extremely windy now for the past 4 days without dying down.

    Winds now picking up across the nation.

    Going to be a wild evening and night if not tooo extreme.

    Definitely picked up here in the last 10 mins. Regular gusts now 50km/h. Max Gust 61km/h this morning but feel that will be easily beaten later.

    Tis mad alright I'm just sick of the bloody wind.

    I bet if I put up a wind turbine it wouldn't fecking blow again !!!

    After being a fair gust here a few mins ago in south Kildare, I'd say over 80 kph.

    It's either High pressure and cold, or low pressure and wind.

    I think it's time to emigrate.

    Here she is at 17:00

    I'm in Aghada Co. Cork, and the wind is very strong - blew my bins over! Even Cork Harbour is looking very rough - looks like it'll be a bad evening. Stay safe everyone.

    Lights just flickered here in cork!


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Some quite high readings now indeed.

    Note the high gust ratio, which can really do the damage if things pick up further.

    CORK AIRPORT SW 34 Gust 59
    SHERKIN ISLAND(A) SW 45 Gust 63
    ROCHES POINT(A) SW 37 Gust 66

    To get back to using new terms.

    The gust to 66knots at Roches Point = 122km/hr

    So completely justifies the Met.IE Orange warning.
