What the wind does in Templemore

Templemore, or An Teampall Mór, is situated inland in County Tipperary, approximately 63 km from the coast. As an inland location, it experiences wind patterns that differ from coastal areas, generally being less exposed. The county's dominant wind direction is from the south-west. Wind speeds in inland counties like Tipperary typically range from 3.5 to 5.5 m/s at 10 metres, with higher speeds on more exposed terrain. Gusts are a common feature of wind in Ireland, often significantly exceeding the mean wind speed. These gusts are particularly noticeable during frontal systems and can bring sudden increases in wind pressure. The Wind Agent provides precise measurements for Templemore, showing both the mean wind speed and the maximum gust observed.

Seasonal pattern

The seasonal wind patterns in Templemore largely reflect those of County Tipperary. The county is generally calmest during the summer and autumn months. The windiest periods typically occur in winter and early spring, coinciding with the passage of frontal systems across Ireland. During these times, the Atlantic depressions bring stronger winds and more frequent gusts. While Templemore is inland, these larger weather systems still influence local conditions. The presence of hills elsewhere in the county, such as the Galtees and Knockmealdowns, can lead to very exposed conditions there, but Templemore's specific location within the county will determine its direct exposure to these effects. The Wind Agent's 48-hour and 7-day data tables will illustrate these short-term variations.

Exposure and shelter

Templemore's inland location, 63 km from the coast, means it is generally less exposed to the direct force of Atlantic winds compared to coastal towns. However, local topography can still create variations in wind exposure and shelter. Buildings and local terrain features can provide shelter, reducing wind speeds in their immediate lee. Conversely, open areas within and around the town may experience higher wind speeds. While County Tipperary has areas of significant exposure, such as the summits of the Galtees and Knockmealdowns, Templemore itself is not directly located in such extreme gust hotspots. The observed wind speeds and gusts on The Wind Agent for Templemore will reflect the specific conditions at the measurement site, which may differ from readings in more sheltered or exposed parts of the town.

Local uses of the wind forecast

The precise wind data for Templemore can be valuable for several local activities. For the agri-food and dairy sectors, and for general farming, wind speed and direction are critical for timing operations such as crop spraying and silage making, ensuring optimal conditions and preventing drift. Horse breeding also benefits from understanding wind conditions for animal welfare and outdoor activities. Rural tourism, a sector in Tipperary, can use wind information for planning outdoor excursions. For sport, particularly relevant given the proximity of Semple Stadium, wind data is important for event planning and participant conditions. Building and roofing work in the town also relies on accurate wind information for safety and operational efficiency. The Wind Agent provides data relevant to these activities.

Questions about wind in Templemore

When is it windiest in Templemore?

Based on county-level patterns for Tipperary, Templemore is typically windiest in winter and early spring. This is when Atlantic frontal systems frequently cross Ireland, bringing stronger winds and more frequent gusts. Summer and autumn generally see calmer conditions.

Which wind direction brings the strongest gusts to Templemore?

The dominant wind direction for County Tipperary is from the south-west. Strongest gusts are generally associated with these prevailing westerly and south-westerly winds, which are often linked to Atlantic depressions. However, local topography can influence how these winds affect specific areas within Templemore.

Where can I get the nearest official wind measurement for Templemore?
