A Status Orange weather warning has been issued for Galway and Mayo this weekend as Storm Ashley is set to bring extremely damaging weather.
Throughout Sunday Storm Ashley will bring very strong and gusty southerly winds, coupled with high spring tides in Galway.
This is likely to lead to large coastal waves and coastal flooding, with dangerous conditions at sea.
Met Eireann has also warned of downed trees and power lines, damage to already weakened structures, and loose objects being displaced.
All of this combined will make for extremely difficult travelling conditions on Sunday.
The Status Orange Wind Warning for Galway and Mayo will be in effect from 12pm midday on Sunday until 9pm on Sunday.
A Status Yellow weather warning for the entire country has also been issued by Met Eireann, and this will be in place from 10am Sunday until midnight.
