A status yellow warning is now in effect in Galway, Mayo, Clare and Kerry as Storm Jocelyn arrives in Ireland later today.
Met Éireann’s orange warning will begin at 5pm in Galway and Mayo, while a status orange wind warning has also been issued for Donegal for 6pm.
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.
The unsettled weather is set to last for the rest of this week.
