Met Eireann issue updated Status Yellow wind warning for Dublin ahead of Storm Brendan

Met Eireann have issued an updated Status Yellow wind warning for Dublin with Storm Brendan set to batter the country next week.

The wind warning also covers Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Cavan, Monaghan, Roscommon and Tipperary.

It will come into effect at 7am on Monday and remain in place until midnight.

The weather watchdog has also issued two Status Orange wind warnings for 11 counties ahead of Storm Brendan.

The national forecaster revealed the west coast is set to be lashed by high winds gusting up to 130km/h on Monday.

A Status Orange wind warning for Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo will come into effect at 7am on Monday, January 13, and will expire at midnight that night.

A forecaster said: "As Storm Brendan tracks to the northwest of Ireland, southerly winds veering southwesterly will reach mean speeds of 65 to 80 km/h with gusts of 110 to 130 km/h, highest in coastal areas.

"There is a significant risk of coastal flooding due to the combination of high spring tides and storm surge."

Meanwhile, a second Status Orange wind alert was issued for counties Wexford, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford.

The warning is valid from 7am on Monday and will expire at 3pm that afternoon.
