Weather warnings bring little cheer for holidaymakers and farmers

The forecast for those holidaying in the west of Ireland this week is decidedly damp after Met Éireann issued weather warnings for counties along the Atlantic coast.

The Irish Farmers’ Association said on Tuesday farmers were becoming concerned that the prolonged period of wet weather could make it difficult to get machinery into fields to save the harvest due to the ground being so soft. While status yellow is the least severe of Met Éireann’s three warning categories, the forecaster said up to 50mm of rain was expected with potentially higher amounts possible in mountainous areas, bringing localised flooding, poor visibility and poor driving conditions.The second warning is a status yellow small craft warning for southwest winds reaching force 6 or 7 on all Irish coasts. This warning is also valid until lunchtime on Wednesday.
