MET ÉIREANN HAS said there will be damaging gusts and heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday next week as a storm depression approaches Ireland.
Winds will reach Ireland from Monday night after the storm depression develops in the mid-Atlantic earlier in the day.
A weather advisory is in place at the moment until 6pm on Wednesday for the patch of wet and windy weather. The forecaster said it continues to monitor the situation and will provide a further update to the situation tomorrow.
The exact location and timing of the strongest gusts is not yet certain, but Atlantic coastal counties will likely experience the strongest winds on Tuesday.
This will spread slowly eastwards overnight on Tuesday and throughout Wednesday before easing away from Ireland overnight on Wednesday.
Gales will spread across most of the country on Tuesday with “damaging gusts likely in some areas”, commentary from Met Éireann meteorologists said.
It said storm force winds will also be possible at times on Tuesday. The winds will be accompanied by a heavy spell of rain that day.
Showers will continue overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday with potential for some showers to fall as sleet or snow on high ground.
Coastal levels are expected to remain normal this weekend and into Monday. They are expected to be elevated later on Monday night and Tuesday.
As for the rest of today, the forecaster said it will remain cold and blustery with sunny spells and showers. Atlantic coastal counties will see most of the showers overnight but it will be dry elsewhere.
Frost might form in parts overnight, but this should clear tomorrow morning with a cold and bright day to follow. Temperatures will reach highs of five to eight degrees Celsius.
Makes a change from Covid depression at least…
@William Tallon: 2 depressions don’t make a concession
@William Tallon: Commenting about covid on an article about the weather. I think you’re a bit obsessed, Willie
@JusticeForJoe: One throwaway humourous comment hardly constitutes being obsessed. Obsessed would imply a clearly observable, long-term pattern of behaviour similar to that you constantly display here, which usually takes the form of anonymously trying to put down and demean people while having nothing original to offer yourself. Now that’s what I call more than a tad obsessed…
@Hugh Morris: That’s certainly my impression…
@William Tallon: Humorous comment … Come on, now. I’m calling that a stretch. Also, ya seem a bit obsessive about me – an anonymous poster – if ya don’t mind me saying.
@JusticeForJoe: You clearly don’t understand the meaning of throwaway in the context of humour. I’m a bit obsessive about you? That’s a rather self-important claim there Mr. Justice. I don’t think many people on here take you as seriously as you do yourself much less obsess over you. Your fan club has a membership of one. You generally have very little to offer in your comments relative to the subject at hand. You do however like to snipe at those who do. It’s quite a long time since I interacted with you so I was rather surprised you chose to slag me off from out of the blue which sort of proves my point about you exhibiting obsessive behaviour – if ya don’t mind me saying, not that I care really. Replying will only confirm your obsession with me. Bet you can’t help yourself though…
@William Tallon: Yeah I’m not reading all that. I’m happy for you though! Or sorry that happened
@JusticeForJoe: Ohhhhh dear! Triggered. QED…
@JusticeForJoe: LOL! Of course you read it! Your ego wouldn’t allow you not to…
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you.
@John Vectravi: lots of weather lately….
@John Vectravi: I though everywhere you go people always ask us who we are and where do we come from
@Hugh Morris: Haven’t heard that one in a while haha
@Burt Macklin: been a while since you were in the brownies?
@John Vectravi: John lives in a crowded house …
If you’ve the right clothes on there’s no such thing as bad weather.
That’s deeply depressing
Better go out and buy bread,that’s what usually happens I’m Ireland when a storm is predicted,
Sure nobody cares about the weather anymore
@Phil Mc Donald: ‘You don’t need a weatherman/To know which way the wind blows…’
Yippe just in time for my days off.
Gimmie rain over cold
@Mogh Roith: give me cold, bright and frosty over rain.
@Mogh Roith: Gimmie Winter over Summer….
Don’t be making any unnecessary journeys, now.
Think Wild Atlantic Way sounds better myself
They were forecasting sleet last night they haven’t a clue
have your say
