Met Eireann's Yellow storm warning for Ireland with 'strong gusts' before temperatures plunge

Met Eireann has warned that stormy weather is on the way for much of the country, with a new Status Yellow wind warning to come into effect on Thursday before temperatures plunge.

According to the national forecaster, the Status Yellow warning is in place from 5am Thursday until 2am Friday and reads: “Westerly winds will be very strong and gusty from Thursday morning in the west at first, progressing eastwards from the afternoon, with particularly strong wind gusts especially around coasts and high ground in the northwest.”

Met Eireann also said that there may be two negative impacts from the windy conditions on Thursday, which may result in travel disruption and power outages. Meanwhile, Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly has warned that we could see windy conditions from as early as this evening.
