Ireland is set to see some wet and windy weather over the coming days.

Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow Wind warning for Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow to take effect from 11am Monday until 9pm that evening.

A spell of very strong and gusty southerly winds will track eastwards on Monday, with damaging gusts of up to 110 km/h are possible.

A weather advisory will remain in place until 11pm Friday as further rainfall will cause localised flooding due to waterlogged soils and high river levels.

However, things will take an unusual turn on Wednesday as some November sun arrives.

Meanwhile, there will be scattered blustery showers for the rest of the day. Some of the showers will be heavy and may cause spot flooding.
