Very strong to gale force southerly winds will veer westerly this morning with some further severe and damaging gusts, especially in Atlantic coastal counties. Very high seas will lead to a risk of some coastal flooding too. Whilst heavy overnight rain will clear into the Irish Sea this morning, sunshine and scattered heavy squally showers will follow, with the risk of hail and isolated thunderstorms, heaviest across the north and northwest. Becoming mostly dry later this afternoon with winds moderating then too, except for northern areas. After a mild start, highest afternoon temperatures will range a fresher 8 to 12 degrees Celsius.

Tomorrow

Blustery at first on Sunday with some bright or sunny spells. However, outbreaks of heavy rain will move up from the southwest during the day, bringing the risk of flooding.
