This video was taken in Whitehead in Co Antrim and shows the violent waves from a high tide mixed with Storm Diana weather.

The 30 second clip has already been seen over 10,000 times in the space of just a couple of hours.

It was filmed by ‘Linda at SeaSugar Confectionery #propersweets’ and posted on Twitter.

They sell “award winning, quirky flavoured, 100% natural, hard sweets aimed at the adult market”.

On Tuesday night, there will be rain in the southwest and it will spread countrywide overnight, followed by a brief clearance to showers.

Southerly winds will increase strong to gale force and gusty towards dawn, with further heavy rain moving into Atlantic coastal counties. Lowest temperatures 4 to 8 degrees Celsius.

It will be windy everywhere on Wednesday, with the potential for severe and damaging gusts in coastal counties of the west and south.
