Met Eireann issue warning ahead of weather ‘uncertainty’ in coming days

Met Eireann has issued a status yellow weather warning for the entire country as the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia approach Ireland.

This, added to a vigorous Atlantic weather system, has the potential to be a high-impact event in parts of the country.

Met Eireann went on to say: "There is a lot of uncertainty as to the exact evolution and movement of this weather system during the coming four days, but storm-force winds, outbreaks of heavy rain and very high seas are threatened.”
