    Strongest winds will be on the Donegal coast tomorrow evening. But this is regular Atlantic depression stuff for that part of the country.

    What does this mean for flights / ferries etc. tomorrow? Will they be cancelling them again I wonder?

    Flights will be okay from most airports, Dublin may face some minor disruption due to the direction of the winds though.

    What an epic prewinter weatherwise we are getting(record temps, floods, storms) and there could be snow too before the end of the month if an azores high gets stuck to our West. However I think wetterzentrale always put some eye candy charts up before bedtime to excite you about upcoming weather (in Summer heatwaves that never come and in Winter snow...)

    Hope theres a freezing Winter cause Ive predicted one (although Ive been wrong about many Winters)

    Wind probably stays below alert criteria, rainfall heavy again in central counties and later in Ulster.

    Sampling winter on the weekend but no big deal.

    I assume your in a northern county but that's as much as I can tell.

    A light breeze here in north Mayo, no rain yet either.

    Heavy rain overnight which had cleared by 8.30, 17.4mm in the manual gauge at 8.45 here in Ardfert.

    Wind quite strong now, don't have readings but you need two hands on the car door handle :)

    I think I under estimated the gusts in Galway yesterday this morning I see a huge branch broke off a large tree out the back which has never happened the 20 years it has been there

    Just in from clearing drains around the place, i taught the rain saturday evening was bad, but it was nothing compared to the rain and wind this morning, it was insane, wind has really picked up again but thankfully its dry and sunny.

    Your username is northgirl, hard to get Cork from that when on mobile.

    Anyway back to the light breeze, which is all it is here in Newport Mayo.
