Met Éireann has placed 11 counties under a Status Orange wind warning ahead of Storm Bram, which is expected to bring gusts of up to 120 km/h in parts of the west and south tomorrow.

The second named storm of the 2025-26 season will bring very strong to gale force southerly winds, with the most severe gusts along the coast. Flooding of low-lying areas is possible, particularly at high tide. Waves may overtop sea defences, travel could be hazardous, debris may be displaced and outdoor events are likely to be affected.

A Status Orange wind warning has been issued for Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford from 7am to 3pm on Tuesday.

A separate Orange warning is in place for Clare, Limerick, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo from 10am to 6pm.

Similar impacts are expected, with dangerous coastal conditions and disruption to travel and outdoor activities.

Met Éireann has also issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Waterford.

Heavy rain on already saturated ground may lead to localised flooding and difficult travel conditions between 9pm on Monday and 9am on Tuesday.

Rainfall totals are expected to range from 10 to 15mm in most areas, rising to 15 to 20mm in the south and west.

In addition, a nationwide Status Yellow wind warning will be in effect from 3am to 9pm on Tuesday. Gale force southerly winds are forecast, with risks of coastal flooding, overtopping waves, hazardous travel and disruption to outdoor events.
