Two status orange wind warnings and several yellow warnings have been issued as Storm Darragh is set to hit Ireland.
Two status orange wind warnings and several yellow warnings have been issued as the storm is set to hit Ireland.“We are expecting some fallen trees, some damaged power lines,” she said.
“So, for people to just be prepared that when they are leaving tomorrow morning, if they are going travelling anywhere, that there could be some difficult travelling conditions, some disruption to travel. “As well, I’ve seen a lot of Christmas decorations going up this week, and so, there are going to be very strong winds across the country, so just to make sure that everything is secured well before we get into the evening.”Ms Hughes also said that localised flooding can be expected in areas under yellow rain warnings.“There is also a status yellow rain warning that’s for Connacht, Ulster, Clare and northern parts of Leinster that’s from 10am this morning until 10am tomorrow.
“So, there is also a rain warning in play and that is status yellow, so it’s going to be a very wet day and night, right across the country – but those areas that we’re expecting from localised flooding.”Main image: people walking away after taking photos of high waves at Salthill, Galway during Storm Isha, 21/01/2024.
