A Status Orange warning is in place for Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Galway, and Mayo from 7 am to 5 pm tomorrow. Strong southerly winds, strong gusts, hazardous driving conditions, downed trees, power outages, coastal flooding, and wave overtopping are among the anticipated effects.
Additionally, a Status Yellow wind warning covers the entire country from 7 am to 8 pm on Saturday, with very strong and gusty southerly winds forecasted.
Today, Ireland will witness a mix of cloudy periods and isolated showers, clearing later in the afternoon. However, rain is expected to push in from the south tonight, possibly turning heavy. Tomorrow, Storm Kathleen will bring very windy conditions, scattered showers, and temperatures ranging from 14 to 16 degrees Celsius.
The outlook for the coming days remains grim, with Saturday night bringing further rain and strong winds, followed by another unsettled day on Sunday. Ireland will grapple with blustery conditions, heavy rain, and the potential for flooding into the early part of the week.
