Met Eireann has extended an eight-hour weather warning to another county - amid fears fallen trees and "hazardous" driving conditions could cause havoc in Galway.
The western county joins Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo as areas which are expected to see strong winds on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The gusts will be so strong that the national forecaster have issued an eight-hour wind warning.
It reads: "Very strong southwest winds veering northwest are expected on Wednesday afternoon and evening. Winds will be strongest at the coast with some severe gusts at times too, which may make driving conditions difficult."
The national forecaster said fallen trees, hazardous driving conditions and large coastal waves are among the possible impacts.
The warning kicks in at 1pm and lasts until 9pm.
On top of that, there's a separate status yellow alert for gales around the Irish coastline.
It reads: "Westerly winds veering northwesterly will reach gale force 8 or strong gale force 9 at times on Irish coastal waters from Valentia to Bloody Foreland to Howth Head and on the Irish Sea North of Anglesey."
That will last from midday tomorrow through to 7am on Thursday.
After a glorious spell in March which saw temperatures hit the high teens, we've seen a dull start to April, with rain, hail and even snow falling in some parts of the country.
But it doesn't seem like that's going to change any time soon, with the national forecaster noting that '"wintry showers" are possible over the weekend as temperatures drop further.
