Parts of the south and west of Ireland are set for a spell of wet and windy weather as Met Éireann issues weather warnings for five counties.
A Status Yellow wind and rain warning for Cork and Kerry will be in effect from 7pm this evening until 6am tomorrow, with very strong and gusty west to southwest winds and spells of heavy rain forecast.
Met Éireann said this is likely to lead to falling branches, damage to temporary structures, localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions.
A separate Status wind warning will be in effect from 1am until 8am tomorrow for Clare, Limerick and Galway, with very strong and gusty southwest winds forecast, which could lead to falling branches and difficult travelling conditions.
