Met Éireann says today will be wet and windy, much like Thursday when there were some stormy conditions across County Clare.Meteorologist Vincent O'Shea said, "We've given warnings to local authorities that there'll be very inclement weather. It won't be record-breaking but there'll be very strong southerly gales countrywide, probably gusting up to 140km per hour across many parts." Tomorrow is expected to be brighter.
Meanwhile, Irish Water Safety is warning the public not to take unnecessary risks this bank holiday weekend, saying that water-related tragedies can happen in a matter of seconds. A spokesman said unsettled weather was a warning to those engaged in water-based activities to be on alert.
