This could lead to localised flooding, hazardous travel conditions and outdoor events being impacted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">There will also be an increased flood risk in coastal areas due to the wind and very high spring tides. Debris and loose objects may be displaced in some areas, leading to an added risk on roads. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">In general, Monday will be breezy with sunny spells and scattered showers. There will be some thunderstorms this morning across west and northwest counties, and some mist along southern coasts. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Windy\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/VRWEY6SF3NDUJEYPV5UXLC4VDQ.jfif\"   width=\"800\" height=\"512\"\/>Flooding and difficult travel conditions are expected in several counties as Storm Bram hits Ireland, according to Met \u00c9ireann.
