Take care when out and about…
To follow on from a series of weather warnings that were issued over the past day or so, Met Éireann have issued yet another weather warning.
A status yellow wind warning has been issued for the west and south-west coasts and covers Donegal, Galway, North Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.
Met Éireann warned that south-west winds gradually veering westerly will reach mean speeds between 50 and 65km/h, with gusts between 90 and 110km/h. Winds will become strong in the southwest at first and extend northwards later in the night and tomorrow morning.
The warning was issued at 4pm on Thursday and is valid from 11pm on Thursday until 2pm on Friday.
Elsewhere, three separate status yellow snow/ice warnings were issued by Met Éireann on Thursday morning, one which will affect Galway, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary until 2pm on Thursday, with the second affecting the entire province of Leinster, as well as Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal until 3am on Friday.
The third, meanwhile, affects every county in Leinster apart from Wexford, as well as three counties in Ulster and Munster and one in Connacht and is in effect until 9am on Friday. The only counties not affected by any of the three new warnings, in fact, are Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon and Waterford.
