It is added that ‘Due to the combination of storm surge, spring tides and onshore winds there is a potential risk of coastal flooding’. Earlier today, Carlow Weather advised that there will be a ‘risk of flooding and very strong winds’ over the coming days and told followers to keep an eye out for weather warnings.
If you’re holidaying in Ireland this week, be sure to stay safe on the roads and follow all necessary precautions.
