Met Éireann warnings for Kerry, the wind on the harbour right now, and where to check — and sign up — for power, water and road alerts.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Dingle and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Dingle sits at the end of a peninsula that takes Atlantic storms first. This page shows any Met Éireann warning naming Kerry, the wind on the harbour right now, and the places to check — and sign up — before the next storm has a name.
As of Thu 9 July at 23:22.
A prolonged spell of very warm or hot weather will occur this week lasting into next week with heat wave conditions expected. Daytime maxima will widely exceed 25 degrees Celsius with values climbing to the high 20s or even low 30s in places from Friday. The UV Index is expected to be high to very high. Warm and humid nights will occur with minima of 15 degrees or higher. Possible tropical nights may occur in places this weekend. There is also the chance of some thunderstorms later this week.

A light breeze (about 8 km/h, gusts to 16), out of the north-northeast.
Strongest gusts forecast over the next 24 hours: about 53 km/h. Wind words follow the Beaufort scale. This is a weather model’s forecast for the hour, not a measurement — exposed ground above town will see more.

Éowyn blew the gable wall out of a house in Dingle and left around 25,000 ESB customers in Kerry without power, some for days. At the end of a peninsula on rural single-line electricity, a multi-day outage is a realistic outcome of a Red warning — worth having torches, power banks and water put by before the wind arrives.
Only the N86 through Annascaul and Lispole and the Conor Pass connect Dingle to the rest of Kerry. The pass is single-track in sections, closed to vehicles over 2 tonnes beyond the summit car park, and shuts in bad weather — so one fallen tree or flood on the N86 can cut the town off for buses, trucks and deliveries until it is cleared.
