Another weather warning! Sure an Irish Chrimbo can’t be without it

Another Christmas break, another long line of weather warnings in Ireland.

Met Éireann has released a YELLOW marine weather warning as strong south to south east gales will arrive on all Irish coasts and the Irish Sea which may reach strong gale force between Mizen and Erris head.

Then a second YELLOW wind warning has also been released for Galways, Kerry, Mayo, Donegal, Clare and Cork.

Winds of up to 95km/h are expected this evening, especially along the coast lines.

A Met Éireann spokesman said a new storm is to blame, named Storm Frank, and told the Irish Mirror, "This is from another powerful Atlantic storm out to the West of Ireland which may produce some damaging gusts over Ireland and further flooding."

We don't know about you, but this is our excuse for staying indoors tonight!
