Met Eireann has issued a series of Status Yellow Wind and Rain weather warnings as Storm Floris is set to make landfall in the coming hours

A series of yellow wind and rain warnings of localised floods, lightning damage and power outages are due to come into force in the early hours of Monday as Storm Floris reaches Ireland. Met Éireann predicts western counties will face “damaging gusts”, possibly dangerous driving conditions and structural damage in some areas.

Met Éireann has issued several status yellow warnings ahead of the arrival of Storm Floris, which is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and the risk of localised flooding to parts of the country on Monday.
