The lesson seems to be when it’s walking weather, get the bus and when it’s bus weather, walk 🤔

This just happened in Kilmainham. It’s like a bomb hit it. Heard the bang from a café round the corner. Lucky nobody was passing it at the time.

Yikes.

Latest GFS charts rolling out show #Lorenzo taking a quicker turn East over Ireland with severe gusts on West coast. Just one possible outcome though as it is far from clear yet where exactly it will end up. More updates later. pic.twitter.com/ppbs5ruToz

Govt preparing services for Hurricane Lorenzo (RTÉ)

Unpredictable

Carlow Weather tweetz:

“Latest [Hurricane Lorenzo] update: The National Hurricane Center track forecast has been adjusted a little to the left to come into better agreement with the latest consensus aids. Although the spread in the models is not as large as it was yesterday, the forecast beyond 48 hours is still of low confidence.”

UPDATE:

Latest GFS weather charts just rolling out and it takes #Lorenzo back in over Ireland just like the last update. This is going to be very difficult to forecast. Keep up to date with forecasts. I’ll have more details later as more information becomes available. pic.twitter.com/rNpF6c8OWY
