    The Arome Gust chart showing the center much further down S on this run , just rolling out atm , keeping the strongest winds off shore.

    Big difference in track to the Hirlam .

    The Arpege very similar to the Arome

    The WRF more in line with the Hirlam.

    Latest TAFs:

    Dublin (9pm-12am) and Shannon (6pm-8pm) both forecasting gusts of up to 45kts.

    Cork expecting gusts of up to 40kts (4pm-6pm)

    Knock not expecting wind above 15kts.

    The variableness of the wind tomorrow is quite cool, with Knock expecting winds from nearly every direction!

    I love the way they add 'highs of 14 to 16 degrees Celsius' :p

    Shannon max gusts dropped to 43kts in the last TAF and Dublin has dropped to 40kts.

    Interestingly, Liverpool is expecting possible gusts of 60kts and Manchester expecting up to 55kts.

    A very vigorous depression for so early in the season and before the equinox.
    Why the polar front is so far south when the Arctic is at its warmest and always seems to be north of Scotland when the Arctic is at its coldest in mid-winter is beyond my rather limited knowledge of meteorology? :confused:
    Any opinions why the polar front moves north in winter? Why does the Azores high always build in winter?

    Yea looking more likely to undergo rapid deepening to the east of Ireland but these systems often develop very rapidly and sometimes before model guidance suggests


  • Registered Users Posts: 43 Ardrageen


    There are loads of power cuts all over the country at the moment .Of course mine is gone again as it likes to do every couple of days. I wonder whats going on as there is barely a puff of wind around at the moment. Maybe the ESB are practising for what's coming.:)

    By that I meant that it must be because of an orange warning somewhere in the UK, rather than Ireland, right?

    I understand what your saying, but it relates to both countries

    Im asking a specific question though, was the storm named because of an orange level alert in the UK, or for another reason?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,460 ✭✭✭✭MJohnston


    To answer my own question, it appears that this was named due to the Orange level warnings in parts of the UK:

    There is no mention of the name Aileen on met.ie ATM. Maybe it will be on the next update of it's forecast. I think the UKMO was responsible for the naming as the deepening low will have a bigger impact on Britain than Ireland. I think there is orange warnings over there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Darwin


    Storm Aileen now mentioned on their update to the weather warning. It would appear the track is a little further south than expected looking at the met.ie short range wind forecast.

    Met E and the UKMO do not have to jointly decide on naming the ndividual storms. Either can 'call it' (independently/without consultation).

    As above, looks like UKMO called this one as the low pressure will develop rapidly passing over Ireland and pack a punch into NW England and N Wales.

    Yep, I'm just trying to clear up "whodunnit" before the arrival of the swathe of people living in Ireland complaining it was overhyped!

    Wind hasn't lived up to expectations at all yet.

    Cork and Shannon have both stayed below 15kts and no gusts, while both forecasts have it above 20kts and gusts of 35-38kts.

    Here the wind is a solid 10kts with a max gust all day of 16kts.

    Rain is the main feature, and that's 3.2mm.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,089 ✭✭✭pad199207


    Yeah nearly dead calm here since lunchtime, unusual


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Steady rain has reached Wexford. No real wind to speak of yet.


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


    The Sind will be when the low moves through and wind backs NW

    Think its delayed a bit, what do you think?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,069 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Corks supposed to be gusting up to 40kts, yet it's at 13kts.

    What has gone so horribly wrong?

    Cloud signature improving rapidly to the west of Ireland now. Will likely undergo rapid deepening in next few hours. Best estimate would be Leinster at greatest risk of severe gusts 9pm-3am. As low exits into Irish Sea, next few hours of sat and obs will be critical- looks nasty for parts of Britain.
