LAST UPDATE | 6 Jan 2020
TWO STATUS YELLOW wind warning have been issued for 17 counties across the country from early tomorrow.
The first warning from Met Éireann will become effective at 1am Tuesday for Donegal, Mayo and Galway and lasts until 8pm tomorrow.
The second warning becomes effective at 6am tomorrow for Dublin, Kildare, Longford, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo and will last until 8pm tomorrow also.
In both cases, westerly winds are expected to reach mean speeds of 50 to 65km/h, with occasional gusts of 90 to 100 km/h
Met Éireann said it will remain very windy for a time this morning with a band of heavy rain moving quickly eastwards across the country.
The rain will then clear before lunchtime with some sunny spells and well-scattered showers following from the west. Maximum temperatures will range between 7 and 10 degrees.
We can also expect outbreaks of rain on what’s set to be a chilly night this evening.
Tomorrow will see damp and windy conditions with scattered outbreaks of rain accompanied by strong to gale force southwesterly winds.
It will be very mild, however, with the highest afternoon temperatures ranging from 11 to 14 degrees.
This mild weather won’t last however, with temperatures set to drop as low as 4 degrees again by Thursday.
Overall the weather outlook is changeable with wet and windy weather forecast throughout the week.
Early indications for the next weekend suggest spells of rain and the risk of very strong winds.

Shocking mild lads
@Brian Dunne: yeah but the stretch in the evenings has been declared officially grand.
@Brian Dunne: Mighty, But isn’t it amazing that there are 6 Counties in Ulster totally unaffected, despite the fact that they seem to be in the eye of the storm?
@Dom Layzell: they’re on bbc
@Dom Layzell: This has been explained countless times and I think you already know the answer why…
@Dom Layzell: Don’t worry,they’ll soon be on RTE and the Journal as part of Eire.
We now go live to Ollie Williams – “it’s rainin sideways”.
Why is cork , Kerry, limerick, not included in the yellow warning, when all the rest of the weather apps are forecasting, f6 to f8 southwest, ??
@Jason Byrne: Because we don’t care about Kerry, Cork or Limerick.
@Fred the Muss:
Nobody asked who cared about them!!!
