TODAY - Tuesday 9th December
Storm Bram will bring very windy or stormy conditions to Ireland today. Southerly winds, veering westerly through the day, will be very strong to gale force, and with some damaging gusts also expected. The strongest winds will be near coasts, and where high tides coincide with onshore winds, some coastal flooding will occur too. Persistent and heavy outbreaks of rain may lead to flooding, especially in southern areas, where ground is already saturated. As the rain clears northwards, it will be followed by scattered showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Very mild with highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees.
TONIGHT
Any rain in the north will soon clear, giving way to a mix of clear spells and scattered showers feeding in from the Atlantic. Some of the showers will be heavy and with a chance of thunder. While the winds will ease, it will remain breezy with moderate to fresh southwesterly winds, stronger near western and northwestern coasts. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees.
TOMORROW - Wednesday 10th December
Scattered showers will clear northwards through the morning, leaving behind mostly dry and bright conditions. Breezy with highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees, with moderate to fresh southwesterly winds, stronger near Atlantic coasts.
