More than 1,000 homes in Galway are still without electricity this afternoon as Storm Jocelyn approaches on Tuesday.
The ESB is still working hard to repair power outages affecting 1,226 properties across the county in the aftermath of Storm Isha over the weekend.
The continuing bad weather has hampered that work and it is likely to be further affected by the incoming storm.
The worst affected areas are clustered around Glenamaddy, where 410 homes are without electricity, another 264 around Headford, 183 in Cong, and 170 in the Tuam area.
Galway is already under a yellow wind warning today, with another Status Orange weather warning from Met Eireann coming into effect at 5pm today.
Strong southwest-to-west winds with severe and damaging gusts are forecast during Storm Jocelyn, just two days after Storm Isha left thousands without power in Galway.
The orange warning in Galway will remain in place throughout this evening until midnight.
Met Éireann has warned of large coastal waves with wave overtopping, very difficult travelling conditions, fallen trees, damage to power lines and damage to already weakened structures.
