Met Éireann has issued another Status Yellow wind warning for Co Clare.

The weather service had previously issued a warning for high winds associated with Storm Bella for Saturday afternoon, evening and night.

A second wind warning associated with the same storm front has now been issued for Clare, Donegal, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Cork and Kerry.

Met Éireann has said: “This evening (Sunday) through to tomorrow (Monday), northwesterly winds associated with Storm Bella (named by the UK Met Office), veering northerly overnight, will reach mean speeds of 50 to 65km/h with gusts of 90 to 110km/h. Winds will be stronger in exposed areas and on higher ground.

With the combination of strong winds, high waves and forecasted storm surge, there is a risk of coastal flooding.”

The warning will be valid from 6.00pm Sunday until 2.00pm Monday.
