Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather says there’ll be some damaging gusts noting “Really it’s going to be a spell of very nasty weather”.
He adds “The storm centre is going to trap into the South West of Ireland coming through tonight, the rainfall being the first issue really as the centre of the storm passes over Ireland but then as that system pulls through the winds on the southern side of the system are going to bring some very strong & damaging gusts to the southern half of Ireland”.
