Cancel your weekend plans folks.

It’s really grim outside. You don’t need us to tell you that.

It’s cold. It’s wet. It’s windy. We’re upset about it, and we’re sure you are too.

And if you expected it to get better anytime soon, we’ve got some bad news for you.

Met Éireann has issued an updated Status Yellow weather warning that is in place for the entirety of the country.

As Storm Dennis makes its way through the country, the Status Yellow wind warning will be in place for all of Ireland until 11pm on Sunday night.

On top of this warning, further additional level orange warnings have been issued for certain counties across the country.

After previously issuing a status orange wind warning for Wexford and Waterford, Met Éireann has also extended that warning to Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick.

It is believed that southwest winds with mean speeds of 60 to 80 km/h with severe gusts of up to 120km/h, strongest on exposed hills and coasts, are to be expected.

Elsewhere, a variety of other weather warnings are also in place around the country, which you can read about here.
