Both weather warnings are in place until 8pm. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The yellow wind warning is in place for Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Wexford from 11am until 11pm. Met \u00c9ireann has warned of localised flooding, difficult travel conditions and poor visibility where the rain warnings will come into effect. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The forecaster said there may be some fallen trees in places where the wind warning is in place. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The UK Met Office has also issued a yellow wind warning for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry from 1pm until 11pm on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">A yellow gale warning for all coasts of Ireland and on the Irish Sea is in place from 7am on Thursday until midnight. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Met \u00c9ireann forecaster Gerry Murphy said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/world\/americas\/2025\/10\/29\/hurricane-melissa-jamaica-declared-a-disaster-area-as-storm-heads-for-cuba\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/world\/americas\/2025\/10\/29\/hurricane-melissa-jamaica-declared-a-disaster-area-as-storm-heads-for-cuba\/\">Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in Jamaica<\/a> on Tuesday with highest wind speeds of more than 280km\/h and is now heading towards Cuba, will weaken as it tracks into the Atlantic. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cAt this stage, it\u2019s still somewhat uncertain what the track will be, but the latest information does suggest that it is going to move to the north of Ireland, but could come fairly close to us, so details of that will become more apparent as the week goes on,\u201d he said on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Wednesday is set be a mixed day weather-wise with Met \u00c9ireann forecasting sunny spells, scattered heavy showers, a chance of hail and isolated thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">It is expected to feel cool with highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. Showers are forecast to become isolated by evening, and the winds should ease with some frost setting in after dark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The national outlook is for unsettled conditions with Friday offering wet and blustery weather affecting southern and eastern counties, clearing around midday, so hopefully not affecting Halloween trick or treaters greatly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Sunny spells and scattered showers during the afternoon will be replaced by some spells of weather after dark. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees. Fresh and gusty southerly winds will ease through the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Status yellow rain and wind warnings have been issued for large parts of the country on Thursday.
