    It is brutal up here already. South Kerry mountains. Strong bitterly cold wind and sudden deluges. Seems another noisy night ahead...

    Never quite sure what Western coasts means. As far as Kerry? Thanks

    are we in for a bad night tonight,
    i was looking at mt craniums reading, and it looks like we are in for a bad shake on the south west coast, will it be anything like last February,s damaging near hurricane winds that overturned high sided vehicles and brought down hundreds of trees.

    Tonight? No, nothing bad at all. Similar to a couple of days ago. Gusts up to around 110 km/h on the northwest coast, 80-90 km/h on the southwest coast. Standard windy winter weather, nothing at all like last February.

    Orange kicks in if forecast gusts reach 110 km/h. That's strong enough for inland areas, but for the exposed northwest coasts that's more like a typical windy winter day. Anyway, that's probably a discussion for another thread. :pac:
