Storm Dave: flights cancelled at Dublin Airport, 3,000 without power as 100kmh gusts expected
"Strong winds associated with Storm Dave are expected to impact flight operations at Dublin Airport later this afternoon and evening. So far today, airlines have cancelled 15 flights, including 7 departures and 8 arrivals. Further disruption is possible later this evening as winds are expected to strengthen."
"In addition, Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Mayo and Donegal, in place from 8am until 4pm on Saturday. In these counties, heavy rain might bring localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions."
"However, such is the rapidly deepening Atlantic depression as Storm Dave approaches Ireland that the Yellow alert could be upgraded for counties along the north-west, with the strongest winds expected off Donegal and Northern Ireland."
A wind warning and a rain warning have been issued for counties Mayo and Donegal due to Storm Dave. Approximately 3,000 homes and businesses are without power, with counties Kerry, Clare, Galway, Cork, and Mayo being the most affected. Dublin Airport has cancelled 15 flights due to high winds, with potential for further cancellations. A Status Yellow rain warning is in effect for Mayo and Donegal, predicting heavy rain, localised flooding, and difficult travel conditions. The storm is intensified by a strong jet stream and may lead to upgraded alerts in the north-west.
