Briain Kelly, 21 Aug
Coastal areas in Galway may experience flooding this evening and overnight
with a weather warning issued by Met Eireann.
Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow wind warning for Galway and Mayo on
Wednesday evening, into the early hours of Thursday.
“Unseasonably strong and gusty south to southwest winds, coinciding with
very high tides and heavy rain,” the warning states.
This brings with it a risk of wave overtopping and coastal flooding,
damage to temporary structures, and difficult travelling conditions.
The potential impacts from this weather will be most acute in the western
parts of the two counties, Met Eireann cautions.
The status yellow weather warning will be in effect from 7pm on Wednesday
until 2am on Thursday.
