STATUS YELLOW WIND warnings will come into effect for four counties on the west coast on Sunday afternoon.
The wind warnings come hot on the heels of Storm Barra, which saw multiple Status Red and Status Orange wind warnings put in place across the country. The storm saw schools shut in parts of the country, while others were left without power or water.
The warning itself comes into effect at 3pm on Sunday for Kerry, Galway, Mayo and Donegal and is set to last until 11pm that evening.
An area of low pressure will bring a spell of very windy weather to mainly western areas on Sunday afternoon.
