Storm Ashley: Flights cancelled amid travel disruption
Very strong winds are forecast across the whole of Ireland and parts of Great Britain, especially Scotland.
Along exposed coasts and high ground, gusts may reach up to 70-80 mph (113-129km/h).
The Met Office have issued an amber warning for wind for counties Fermanagh, Tyrone, Londonderry and parts of Antrim from 13:00 until 20:00. It’s the second highest level of alert and the meteorological service says “some disruption to transport and power supplies is likely.”
The entire west coast of the Republic of Ireland is under a ‘Status Orange’ warning.
That’s the second highest level of warning and indicates an increased risk of damage and disruption.
Met Éireann is forecasting coastal flooding, difficult travel conditions, and dangerous seas along counties Clare, Kerry, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, and Sligo.
A yellow warning was issued across the rest of the country from midnight on Saturday until 03:00 BST on Monday.
