Take note if you were planning to do a bit of shopping tonight.

Earlier on Friday, we shared the news that the adverse weather conditions had resulted in a number of flights being delayed and cancelled, as well as bus and rail services.

And it’s not just those with travel plans who are being affected by the nasty weather either.

Storm Hannah has caused a number of shops across the country to close early.

All seven Aldi stores in Kerry closed at 6pm on Friday night, and plan to reopen at 8am on Saturday morning. They also said that they would be monitoring the situation “very closely” for any changes.

In Clare, three more Aldi stores will close at 7.30, and don’t plan on reopening until 9am on Saturday morning.

A number of Tesco shops did the same, with many closing at 5pm, and more at 7pm.

So if you’re looking to get some supplies for the weekend, you may be better off hanging on until tomorrow morning.

Stay safe!
