Tie down those wheelie bins ... it's going to get fierce windy out there tonight

Gusts of 110km are on the way.

IT’S NOT GOOD news if you’ve been to the hairdressers today and are getting all set for a night out.

Met Eireann has issued a status yellow wind warning for tonight.

The alert is in place for Connacht, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.

West to southwest winds are expected to gust 90 to 109 km/hr this evening and tonight.

The warning is in place until tomorrow morning at 6am.

Spring has obviously not sprung just yet…even with the clocks going forward.

@Thomas Brophy: it’s important people get out and down to their local blood clinic to donate. Hardly a waste.
