It’s about to get windy, folks…
Following on from the rain warning issued for Donegal yesterday, Met Éireann have issued another weather warning for coastal counties Kerry, Clare, Galway, and Mayo.
A Status Yellow wind warning was issued for these coasts at 9am on Wednesday and is active from 2pm on Wednesday until midnight tonight.
The alert warns of strong southwest winds which will veer northwest later on, with mean speeds of 50 to 60 km/h and gusts of up to 90 to 95km/h.
In terms of the rest of the weather today, rain in the west and north will very gradually spread southeastwards during the day. The rain will be persistent and heavy in the north, whilst further to the south and southeast, it should stay mostly dry until later this evening.
As we look towards Thursday and Friday, with dry, bright and sunny spells forecast, the outlook is a little more promising, although there will be a chance of frost due to temperatures dropping to as low as three degrees on Friday night.
“Changeable” is the forecast for the weekend, with light rain and plenty of “good dry periods”, which is about as good as we can expect given some of what we’ve had to put up with of late.
