Looking at the weather map on top from a proper weather forecasting organisation, it looks like Dublin will in fact experience wind of 90 kmh+
Yet Met Eireann’s weather warning doesn’t extend to Dublin but this is what it says about the bits which are subject to a yellow warning.
“Status Yellow – Wind warning for Connacht, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Wexford, Wicklow, Offaly, Donegal, Tipperary and Waterford, Becoming very windy on Friday night and for a time on Saturday morning. Southerly winds will veer northwesterly and reach mean speeds of 50-65km/h with gusts of 90 to 110 km/h.”
I hope We Are Dublin Town send a nice big hamper over to Met Eireann, just think of all those shoppers who would have cancelled their trips if there was weather warning.

If there’s no storm in Dublin eoin can we expect you to dial back all the ridiculous Met Éireann/Dublin business conspiracy guff?
Dublin Chamber of Commerce weather-trutherism, the bonus-level of paranoid conspiracy nonsense…
it’s pretty blowy out there, Dublin
from that map, seems pretty blowy down Wicklow way, too!
And it’s picking up in Waterford already for sure
Roscommon was fine but herself approaching so exit left.
Weird rubber neck thing- One lane closed and about 20 cars with flat types off the M50 onto the M4 at around noon? Kids dumping sharp objects from bridge or negligent lorry.
No media coverage either way.
Blasted out of it there when I attempted to leave the office for a min there
Hatches battened, generator fuelled & test run, torches charged.
Bring it on, baby!!!
Have you taken in the road?
And the washing!
alls that left is to make a fort using the sofa cushions and a blanket and you’re set..
Bread and milk?
Gluten free vegan bread and walnut milk tnxs. Don’t forget the cauliflower hash browns luv?
Bread?
And milk. Sorted. And beer. Went last night to beat the rush.
There was a couple on the radio this morning doing a song request and they are getting married today in Galway. Hate to be them out wesht

I think that one gets played more at funerals but nicely done!
Seriously?
Tone def much?
Hannah clearly has it in for Clare
Sibling rivalry :)
Wave height of 32 “feet”?! How many cubits is that? Is a foot bigger than a rod?
A woman with a cute little dog knocked on my door this morning, saying she was a bit lost. Name of Dorothy, I think she said…
