Southeast winds will increase strong to gale force and gusty, and outbreaks of heavy rain will develop in the southwest, sweeping across the country early Tuesday morning as Storm Barra approaches from the Atlantic.
It will remain very windy or stormy on Tuesday night as the centre of Storm Barra tracks over Ireland. There will be frequent squally showers – some wintry with hail – and isolated thunderstorms.
Severe and damaging wind gusts are expected, especially in coastal parts of Munster and Connacht. Gale to storm force southeast winds will veer west and later northwest, with a possibility of coastal flooding. Maximum temperatures of 6 to 9C.
