Met Éireann issue high wind warning to six counties

Rory Cashin

Gusts of up to 110km/h are expected in places.

Met Éireann have issued a status yellow wind warning to six counties, which will be in effect from 3pm tomorrow (Wednesday, November 18) to 1am on Thursday.

The weather warning has been issued to Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork, Kerry, and Limerick.

The description of the weather warning is as follows:

“Southwest to west winds veering northwest will reach mean speed 50 to 65km/h with gusts of 90 to 110km/h. The combination of strong winds coupled with high tides brings an increased risk of coastal flooding.”

The rest of the week doesn’t look much better, with Met Éireann forecasting a lot of rain on Friday and Saturday, before the clouds pass us by on Sunday, making way for a drastic drop in temperature, expected to get back down to freezing point overnight in places.
