Scientific Analysis of severe weather in Ireland.

Observations are personal, not official advice

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

Ran a very successful FB page for years.

Focusing on severe weather in Ireland from a highly scientific perceptive. Will only post during severe weather events. Not official advice.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@Muinchille Premise is correct, technical wording incorrect. Higher temperatures allow for more moisture to be transported north and more CAPE energy helps fuel updrafts.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather Looks like EF-1 level damage. 100-120 mph winds

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@martinastro2005 I didn't chase🙆‍♂️ , was chasing elevated lightning last night and was too tired after work today.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather OK, hopefully some damages pics will come out.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather Was there any damage locally , would be interested to see how strong it was at the surface.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather Rear flank downdraft its the cold side of the circulation , above it the clear slot that wraps another the wall cloud and vortex.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather Beautiful you can really see the meso vortex as it ropes out.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@johnb_murphy @CarlowWeather Your in the RFD as the tornado past. Great footage

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@SkiesOfTheUK Mid level moisture will temper the hail growth

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@UKWX_ Where is the tornado treat coming from .

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@IrelandAlerts Hopefully provides a show, I didn't travel today as i think it will be mostly an elevated offshore lightning show later.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@Djpuco Strong EML visible on the ground here. I think convection will be only over the extreme north or out to sea later this evening.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@Pilot145KAM @wxsteven If you can't determine the time and local on the header of the sounding understanding the rest is going to impossible. Sit this one out

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

QCLS line of cells on the cold front. Risk of damaging convective gusts and short lived tornadoes.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@ItsJojodawg @BradArnoldWX Mid level subsidence isn't great there.

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@IFAmedia @JessikaRoswall Rivers destroyed. Greenwashing

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@joehealyfarmer @NeilSkeffington @martinheydonfg @JessikaRoswall @FineGael The waterways are destroyed. All data backs this up . Dairy farming is the chief culprit

[Ruairi- WxIRL @Irish_Met]

@martinheydonfg @JessikaRoswall @teagasc The rivers and biodiversity in Ireland is destroyed. Salmon stocks down 90% in 30 years. @JessikaRoswall are they care about is money.
