Confirmed as 6.8C, the 14th mildest February on record. The 30 year average is now 5.1C, a new record high.
The mean on the 16th, 10.3C, is a new daily record. Beating the 10.0C from 1928

Had no power today to work from home, so I decided a quick trip to Kerry to catch the huge waves and swells might be worthwhile...

The squall line earlier seems to have knocked my rain gauge out. To windy to get out and inspect right now. Such a pit, some very heavy showers have occurred.
The wind has been gradually increasing the last half hour or so. Averaging back close to 30 mph-

That was short and sharp. Temperature down 2.1C in 5 minutes, dew point down 2.6C in 10 minutes. 1.2 mm of rain dropped in 5 minutes too.
Wind and rain back to normal now.

Ah no, just realised my base station doesn't connect to wifi without a mains power supply, so it hasn't been logging the station data for the last 90 mins

does it have a battery back up to keep recording, or do you just get a gap?
The weather station is battery powered, but the display I have is fairly limited (but can run on battery for a few days) so I rely more on the ambient weather dashboard for detailed info, but that requires an internet connection.
I managed got an old mobile wifi-router running and found a laptop with some life in it so I could get the station data back online. So no significant gaps in the data yet. Now it's just a case of which batteries die first!-

As we can't see the times on there, what's the time between that lull and the rapid ramp up?
Gusts went from around 15 km/h to over 100 km/h in about an hour.

Electricity repair estimate from ESB 12:45, but I'll take that with a pinch of salt given the work they'll have today.
When the wind arrives, it doesn't provide much warning!

First gust above 100 km/h for me, just hit 113.8 km/h. Not bad for a sheltered inland spot.

The wind has picked up here a lot now after the storm passed overhead.
Pressure bottomed out at 947.1 hPa, the temperature is dropping and the rain turning sleety.

Rain here, but the temperature is dropping and the pressure appears to have bottomed out at 974 hPa, so the cooler and stronger north westerly winds should be arriving soon.

Quite calm here at the moment, pressure down to 974.2 hPa, so the storm centre must be very near.
Latest gust from the M3 buoy off the SW of Ireland is 74 mph

Just rain here, wind starting to pick up a bit. Temp is 7.5C, up 3C in 2 hours.

Final update of the animations this evening. The strong winds on the southern flank are already quite clear, even if the storm doesn't have a particularly distinct form overall.
Can't upload the separate animation for some reason (probably my terrible internet connection), so hopefully the tweet is ok.

I'm not too far from Clonmel, but just sleety here. 38.1 mm dropped so far today, a decent total and some minor flooding around.
