Weather warning issued for tomorrow night as strong winds set to hit Ireland

A Status Yellow weather warning has been issued for many parts of the country by Met Eireann as the western coast braces itself for strong winds in the coming days.

It will be blustery all over the country from Thursday night until Friday morning, but the weather warning has been issued for all of Connacht as well as counties Cavan, Donegal, Clare, Kerry and Limerick

Southwest winds will reach mean wind speeds between 55 to 65kmh with gusts of 90 to 110kmh, strongest near coasts where these limits may be exceeded for a short period later on Thursday night.

The weather warning is valid from 10pm on Thursday night until 9am on Friday morning.
