There is a potential for severe weather this weekend.
As you may have noticed, the weather is rather horrible at the moment and the bad news is it’s set to continue for the next few days.
Not only is it noticeably colder than recent weeks, but it is also extremely rainy and windy – a delightful combination altogether.
Although there are a couple of Status Yellow weather warnings in place for specific counties, see here for more, there’s now a Weather Advisory warning in place for the entire country.
There is a strong possibility that there could be ‘severe weather’ on Saturday and the national weather forecaster has issued an advisory warning for the entire country.
Here’s what you can expect:
“Potential for severe weather on Saturday 15th December. Hazardous conditions may result from heavy rain, and possibly wind.”
This warning comes into effect from Saturday 15 December 2018 00:01 and remains in place until Saturday 15 December 2018 23:59.
Status Yellow – Weather Advisory for Ireland
Potential for severe weather on Saturday 15th December. Hazardous conditions may result from heavy rain, and possibly wind also.
