Ireland weather: Rain to clear but Met Eireann issue two warnings as wicked winds to cause havoc on Halloween

Met Eireann have predicted a mixed bag of a day on Halloween - before havoc hits on Sunday evening.

Two weather warnings remain in place for wind on the spookiest day of the year, with a good few rain showers also in store.

And then to top it all off, winter will be welcomed in on Monday with some frost on the ground.

The national forecaster released two Status Yellow wind warnings on Saturday afternoon for the weekend.

The alert for Clare, Cork and Kerry will take effect at 6am on Sunday and last until 12pm.

According to Met Eireann, west to northwest winds will reach mean speeds of up to 65km/hr with gusts up to 100km/hr.

A second wind warning also includes Clare, as well as Galway.

Similar conditions are expected, with the warning in place from 12pm until 10pm on Sunday.

Here's the latest forecast from the boffins at Met Eireann

Sunday

"There will be good dry periods today but with showers or longer spells of rain moving through at times. It will be windy across southern and southwestern areas in the morning and the windy conditions will extend north to all regions during the afternoon and evening. Maximum temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees."

Sunday night

"Windy overnight with strong and gusty westerly winds and gales on some coasts. Scattered showers across the country with some longer spells of rain. Minimum temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees."

Monday night

"Showers will retreat to coastal regions of the north and west overnight with long clear periods developing elsewhere. It will turn cold with lows of 2 to 6 degrees possibly bringing a spot of frost locally in the east where it will be coldest, in mostly light westerly winds."
