Ah jaysus! It looks like another storm is coming and its name is Frank

Tony Cuddihy

Another day, another promise of stormy weather to come.

Tuesday – two days away for anyone who temporarily forgot that today is Sunday – promises to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the south, west and north of the country.

Confirmation on whether or not the weather system will be strong enough to be called ‘Storm Frank’ will come later this afternoon.

“It will become very wet and very windy during the afternoon as heavy rain pushes in from the Atlantic in gale force southeasterly winds,” according to Met Éireann.

“This is from another powerful Atlantic storm out to the west of Ireland which may produce some damaging gusts over Ireland and further flooding so please keep in touch with the latest forecasts and warnings from Met Éireann.

“We aware also that there will be exceptionally high Atlantic waves along the north, west and south coast.”

The storm is expected to move off towards Iceland on Wednesday, although it will leave some very changeable weather in its wake.
