The storm has already caused severe flooding and travel delays across Ireland.

Named by the UK Met Office, the storm has led to rain and wind warnings covering all of Ireland, which will remain in effect until Tuesday night.

A Status Yellow wind warning from Met Éireann for the entire Republic of Ireland is currently in effect until 11pm on Tuesday.

It reads: “Winds associated with Storm Chandra will be very strong and gusty, particularly on coasts and in exposed areas.

“Possible impacts: Fallen trees and loose debris, wave overtopping, and hazardous travel conditions.”

Also in effect until 11pm Tuesday is a Status Yellow rain warning from Met Éireann, impacting Carlow, Kilkenny, Louth, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow.

The alert states: “Bands of rain associated with Storm Chandra will be heavy and persistent.

“Rain falling on already saturated ground will lead to the following possible impacts: Localised flooding, river flooding and difficult travel conditions.”

On top of this, the UK Met Office has put out an Amber warning for Antrim, Derry and Down (lasting until 9pm on Tuesday), as well as a Yellow warning for all six counties in Northern Ireland (lasting until 11.59pm on Tuesday).

The reason the UK Met Office’s Yellow weather warning is scheduled to last longer than Met Éireann’s Status Yellow alert seems to be because the storm is tracking northwards.

Storm Chandra has already impacted operations for Dublin Bus, Dublin Airport and Irish Rail.

There has also been reports of severe flooding in the east of Ireland, including in the counties Dublin, Wexford and Wicklow.

Over 250 schools have been closed in Northern Ireland over the Amber warning as well.

“Highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees with moderate to fresh south-easterly winds.”
