The weather models latest update for storm on Tuesday show some windy weather but nothing too severe thankfully. The track still little uncertain but at least for now it doesn’t look too bad in terms of wind but still plenty more rain to come!

Risk of storm developing Monday night into Tuesday but huge uncertainty on the weather models and the latest ECMWF model update that Met Éireann use for their website and app at that range is one of the worst potential outcomes so hopefully won’t be that but one to keep an eye on

Some big seas expected over next few days, first into the West on Thursday and then Southwest on Friday night into Saturday. Bad timing too as we have high tides this week so risk of coastal flooding. Don’t park in car parks that are known to flood on the coast, like Salthill!
