So if you hadn't heard about them already may I introduce Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice https://www.rte.ie/news/weather/2022/02 ... r-ireland/
Down on the South Coast near Waterford I don't think we are in any serious trouble today from Dudley but Eunice looks much worse for wind and rain. I hate the wind but rain is our nemesis here with nearly an inch (25mm) predicted on Friday night/Saturday morning. That said I'm looking at Met.ie for my info (when will I ever learn) so who knows.

One thing I noticed is that the Rosslare to UK and back ferries are cancelled for today.Weather Advisory for Ireland

Current indications are that the strongest winds are most likely to affect southern counties and the most significant falls of snow are most likely over central and northern parts of the country with locally blizzard conditions possible for a time and disruption to travel.
