Storm Floris is expected to create unseasonably wet and windy conditions, particularly in the north and northwest. Counties Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal, Leitrim, and Cavan are under Status Yellow Wind and Rain Warnings. The adverse weather could lead to difficult travel and potential for power outages or fallen trees. Outdoor events this August Bank Holiday weekend may be impacted. Monday will continue to see lingering effects of the storm, but conditions should improve into Tuesday with drier skies and moderate temperatures.
Tonight will be unseasonably wet and windy as Storm Floris makes landfall, bringing heavy rainfall primarily to the north and northwest, along with gale force winds on the Atlantic coast.
A Status Yellow Wind warning has been placed on counties Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo with a separate Rain Warning for Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo effective from 2am tonight until 10am on Monday.
Monday will start off wet and windy from the storm's remnants, but rain will clear eastwards by the afternoon, leaving temperatures ranging from 14C to 21C.
As several outdoor festivals occur this August Bank Holiday weekend, adverse weather conditions pose risks such as difficult travel, fallen trees, power outages, and lightning damage.
