Described as a forecaster 's commentary, the information was shared via the Met Éireann website and described the orange weather in detail. In the event of an orange warning, it's important to be prepared with the national forecaster explaining: An ORANGE level warning is issued by Met Éireann for wind speeds with the capacity to produce dangerous, stormy conditions which may constitute a risk to life and property.

• Stay away from exposed coastal areas for the period of the ORANGE warning.

• Drive to anticipate strong cross winds and other hazards such as falling/fallen trees. High sided vehicles and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to strong winds – slow down and give extra space to pedestrians and cyclists.

• Be aware of local conditions in your area; wind strengths can vary significantly from place to place (depending on direction and local topography).

It then goes on to share some image of winds and pressure patterns for tomorrow night and Friday morning. You can check out the advice in full on the Met Éireann website.
