Weather Advisory for Ireland
Unsettled and mixed over Easter with a mobile Atlantic flow affecting Ireland. Windy or possibly stormy in places later Saturday.
• Potential for some severe or damaging west to southwest gusts.
• Coastal flooding is likely, especially around high tide times and in exposed, low-lying locations along the Atlantic coastal counties.
• High astronomical tides (Spring Tides) coinciding with storm surge and persistent onshore winds will further increase the risk of coastal flooding. Areas along the west and north coasts are particularly vulnerable.
• Strong onshore winds combined with high waves may lead to wave overtopping and flooding in low-lying and exposed coastal areas.
• Warnings are likely to be issued. Stay updated via Met Éireann’s website, app and social media channels.
