Met Éireann has issued an advisory level warning to the entire country for storm Floris.
The national forecaster said that the storm “will bring wet and unseasonably windy weather during Sunday night and public holiday Monday”, as it expects to issue further notices in the coming days.
Storm Floris, named by the UK Met office, has currently not yet formed and is expected to develop through Friday from a frontal wave, currently lying to the south of Nova Scotia.

Some of the potential impacts of the storm include dangerous travelling conditions, knock-on impacts for outdoor events, structural damage, fallen trees, debris and loose objects, power outages, wave overtopping and localised flooding due to leaves.
Forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock said: “Storm Floris will bring a spell of wet and unseasonably windy weather, particularly for northwestern areas, through Sunday night and into Monday.
“However, there is still some uncertainty in the details, so the full impacts of the system cannot yet be determined. By Saturday though, the event will be within the range of our high-resolution DINI forecasting model and warnings will be issued.
“[Met Éireann’s] advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have. And, as always, please heed the advice of local authorities.”
