These weather warnings have been mana from heaven for media outlets since they were introduced.

Hype, hype, hype, then have a cut off Met Eireann when it’s not as bad as the papers made out.

I’m trying to remember what warnings were like pre the warning system, I think there might have been a segment on the 9 o’clock news the night before saying “it’ll get windy”.

Think Storm Darwin caught a lot of people out. Was talking to the father earlier and we both agreed that was “the big one” in recent memory. Ophelia was big but we were well prepared for it, it came at a similar time of year when there were still leaves on the trees and it also came from an odd direction, felling trees that would normally be more sheltered in storms. Darwin caused unexpected carnage.

Weather warnings are only for townies who wouldn’t know the difference between a good day and a bad day. I’m going mackerel fishing later on

Darwin was some craic.

I’ve said it already on this thread, but Yellow warnings are just weather. Red and Orange are all that’s needed.

The big issue is people not understanding the warnings.
Yellow level is really just advisory, a heads up that it will be a little wetter/windier than normal.

The warnings save lives. Red warnings mean businesses close so no decision for staff to make and people staying indoors does mean a few lives are saved.

1157

Fully agree, Darwin did untold with little or no warnings.

1158

Has there been a Red Warning issued up North???

roches point had a >80knt gust during orphelia
this thing is done lads if wind is only 55kn off shore in the NW atlantic that is colder than a southerly from Biscay anyway that we saw during orphelia

the cold is killing it - a hurricine cant approach from that far north
will a jet stream give it a boost?
