'Hurricane' Debbie – 60 years on: a fresh analysis.
- Authors
Graham, Edward; Smart, David
- Abstract
The storm commenced with a wind direction from the S/SSE, with hurricane force winds developing on a S/SSW wind, unusual directions for a violent storm in Ireland. Additionally, Belmullet did not experience strong winds until after 1400 utc, and wind vectors (relative to the motion of the storm) suggest a backing of the wind, rather than a veering, during the passage of the storm. 1 TableHighest recorded mean wind speeds and maximum gusts at meteorological stations in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland on 16 September 1961 - the maximum wind gust values have been updated from Rohan (1983) and Met Éireann (n.d.). I Debbie i was arguably the most severe storm to affect the island of Ireland since the I Ulysses i storm of late February 1903 (Hawkins I et al i ., 2019), or even possibly I Oíche na Gaoithe Móire i (Night of the Big Wind) on 6/7 January 1839 (Shields and Fitzgerald, 1989; Burt, 2006).
