Currently, in Dublin, the clouds are high and passing overhead rather quickly. Mizzly rain (technical term
) seems to have stopped again at present. There is wind, as while there are no flags on the poles I usually judge by, the lampposts on the edge of the multistorey car park outside my window are swaying - but the 6 tower cranes visible are all pointing in different directions (so either its swirling or not really that strong yet - or some drivers have stupidly locked their cranes to not swing).
While the centre of the low pressure system is currently off the Mayo coast, it is moving slightly north as it comes east, so it looks like it will just skip off the outside of the outer Hebrides rather than going directly over it - although that still means pretty hefty winds!
What I am looking at is more the effect of the low pressure combined with a high (springs) tides meaning a greater chance of coastal flooding as both wind whipping up the water and low pressure meaning water rises to fill the vacuum, combine to make already high tides even higher.
