JUST when we thought Met Eireann might be issuing heat warnings, we’re now back on familiar ground.
The national service has issued a Status Yellow Wind Warning for Kerry and five other counties — Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim, Roscommon, Clare — for tonight.
On Wednesday evening and night and for a time on Thursday morning, south to southwest winds veering westerly, associated with Storm Hector, will reach mean speeds of 55 to 65 km/hr with gusts of 90 to 110 km/hr.
It comes into effect from 9pm tonight until 10am on Thursday and we’ll see an improvement after that.
Winds will ease gradually through the day and showers will become isolated with sunny spells for the afternoon. Highs of 16 to 18 degrees.
