REMEMBER that Yellow Status wind warning for Kerry for today?

Well that’s been elevated to Orange now as Storm Clodagh, the third named storm of the extended winter season, will pass eastwards to the north of Ireland today.

The current Status Orange warning for very strong, westerly winds is a direct result of Clodagh’s evolution.

Thankfully it should have passed by late afternoon, but for the moment, take care out there as southwesterly winds veering westerly will reach mean speeds of 60 to 80 km/h with gusts of 100 to 130km/h.
