Storm Eowyn, tracking over Ireland, is declared the most severe storm since Hurricane Debbie in 1961, resulting in 12 casualties. Weather reports indicate record-breaking winds, especially on the west coast, reaching up to 156 km/h, severely disrupting weather data collection. Authorities are urging citizens to shelter-in-place to ensure safety as the storm poses life-threatening conditions, underscoring the unprecedented nature of this weather event that has influenced observations and public safety measures nationwide.
Severe winds have interrupted data supply from our stations in Belmullet, Mace Head and Markree, with observations expected at a later time.
Winds are now so strong on the west coast that they are interrupting the automatic observations sent from weather stations along the west/northwest coast.
