Another day, another weather warning.
Met Éireann have issued a Status Orange weather warning for 17 counties in Ireland with winds set to reach speeds of 130 km/h in parts of the country tonight.
The status orange weather warning applies to Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Longford, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, Meath, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Waterford.
A status yellow weather warning, meanwhile, applies to the remaining nine counties in the Republic of Ireland, so pretty much nowhere will escape the worst of the elements.
Southwest winds are expected to reach speeds of 110-130 km/h later this evening and tonight, with northern and western coastal areas set to be worst affected.
The weather warnings are valid until 9am tomorrow morning, with the winds expected to have decreased to strong and gusty by noon on Friday.
