Ireland is set for a miserable couple of days, with heavy rain and strong winds to batter much of the country at various stages of Sunday and Monday.
A Status Yellow wind warning will come into effect for the counties of Kerry, Clare and Galway tonight as strong gusts are forecast, with difficult travelling conditions anticipated, as well as debris if loose objects become displaced. The warning comes into effect at 9pm on Sunday and will remain in place until 6am on Monday.
Gusts of more than 100km/h are possible overnight in western counties as unsettled conditions continue to dominate.
With strong winds on the way, you can follow the path of the gusts with the online tracker below.
A spokesperson for Met Eireann said: “Rain from the southwest will spread northeastwards across the country this morning, some heavy falls at times. As that rain clears from the afternoon onwards, a mix of sunny spells and showers will follow, some heavy and possibly thundery at times in the west and northwest. Fresh southeasterly winds will veer southwesterly with those showers, strengthening to strong and gusty along west and southwest coastal counties. Highest temperature of 13 to 19 degrees, with the coolest of those in Ulster.
“Tonight will be wet and windy with widespread showers and longer spells of rain in the west and northwest, heavy at times. Atlantic coasts will be noticeably windy, with strong and gusty westerly winds, reaching gale force along Atlantic coasts. Lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees.
“Widespread showers will continue into Monday morning, some heavy and thundery at times, particularly in the north and northwest where spot flooding is possible. Showers will gradually ease and become isolated towards the late evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty southwesterly winds.”
