While Storm Atiyah isn’t expected to hit Ireland directly, it will affect most of the country with rain and dangerous winds predicted.
Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow wind and rain warning for the entire country, valid from 7pm last night with the possibility of upgrading to a Status Red Warning should conditions deteriorate further.
