Unsettled conditions are set to persist over the coming days, with Met Eireann issuing a Status Yellow wind warning for three counties later this weekend.
The Status Yellow wind warning will come into effect on Sunday, September 14 at 9pm and will remain valid until 6am on Monday morning. The counties of Kerry, Clare and Galway fall under the national forecaster’s warning.
Strong and gusty westerly winds are expected in western coastal areas, with Met Eireann warning of difficult travelling conditions and the potential for debris as loose objects may become displaced.
Irish weather expert Alan O’Reilly, who mans the @CarlowWeather account on X, has suggested that the west could see winds exceed 100km/h on Sunday night, with gusts continuing into Monday.
While today began with plenty of long dry spells in the east, showers in the west are set to become more widespread throughout the day and may turn heavy with the chance of isolated thunderstorms. Rain will die out into the afternoon and evening, however, as sunny spells develop. It will feel noticeably cooler, however, with temperatures ranging from 13C to 16C.
Of tomorrow, a Met Eireann spokesperson said: “Becoming wet and blustery tomorrow morning with rain spreading northeastwards, heavy at times with fresh southeasterly winds developing. The rain will clear eastwards in the afternoon, followed by sunny spells and showers, some heavy. Winds will veer southwesterly behind the rain, and increase strong in west and southwest coastal counties. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees.
“A windy night with strong and gusty westerly winds and gales on Atlantic coasts. Widespread showers will continue with longer spells of rain in the west and northwest, heavy at times. Lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees.”
