February 2022 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests
BornFromTheVoid replied to Roger J Smith's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
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 -
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

Storm Eunice - 18th February
BornFromTheVoid replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
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?? -
Storm Eunice - 18th February
BornFromTheVoid replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
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! -

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! -

Just lost power. No more weather updates from me -
Storm Eunice - 18th February
BornFromTheVoid replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
First gust above 100 km/h for me, just hit 113.8 km/h (71 mph). Not bad for a sheltered inland spot. -

The wind has gone quite wild the last 15 minutes. A new record high mean wind 78.1km/h and gust 93.7km/h (58 mph), though records are only since last December. -

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. -

BornFromTheVoid replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
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 -

Exactly 975hPa here too (about 40 miles northeast of Cork Airport -

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.
