Met Eireann timeline for Storm Franklin as tracker shows exact time it will hit your area in Ireland

Ireland has been hit by its third storm within a week after Storm Franklin made landfall on Sunday.

It follows Storm Eunice on Friday and Storm Dudley on Wednesday. It's the first time three storms have been recorded in such quick succession since the naming system began.

The latest cyclone is due to wreak havoc, with Met Eireann issuing a spate of weather warnings that continue into Monday.

The forecaster said: “Storm Franklin will cause gale force westerly winds with severe and damaging gusts.

“These winds combined with very high seas will lead to wave overtopping, which may result in coastal flooding.”

There is also the risk of heavy rain, sleet, snow and isolated thunderstorms over the next 24 hours.

You can check the exact time Storm Franklin will hit your area with strong winds using Windy’s live tracker below.
