Met Eireann issues another weather warning as Storm Aiden batters Ireland

Met Eireann has issued yet another warning as Storm Aiden batters Ireland.

The national forecaster issued the fresh alert for Donegal, Galway and Mayo as gusts of over 100km/h get set to hit.

The new caution is valid from 11pm on Saturday until 6am on Sunday morning.

It states: "Strong south to southeast winds veering southwesterly will reach mean speeds of 50 to 65 km/h with gusts between 90 and 100 km/h.

"Winds will be strongest along coastal areas. Valid: 23:00 Saturday, 31/10/2020, to 06:00 Sunday, 01/11/2020."

Meanwhile, more poor weather is expected on Sunday even after Storm Aiden passes.

Met Eireann is expecting horrid conditions to hammer coastal areas all day with a status red marine gale warning in place.

The forecaster said: "Blustery on Sunday with some bright or sunny spells to start.

"However, outbreaks of rain will spread from the southwest through the morning and afternoon, becoming heavy at times and bringing the risk of flooding.

"Southwest winds will remain fresh to strong across southern counties, easing light to moderate elsewhere. Some patches of mist too. Highest temperatures of 10 to 16 degrees, coolest in the north and mildest in the south."
