A Status Orange weather warning has been issued for tomorrow as Storm Isha is to hammer Ireland with gale force winds.

Almost all of Ireland has been issued with an Orange wind warning which will be in place from 5pm on Sunday until 2am on Monday.

There will be very strong southwest winds with severe and damaging gusts during that time as Storm Isha hits.

This will create very dangerous coastal and travelling conditions, with large coastal waves overtopping, fallen trees and downed power lines.

A status yellow wind warning will come into effect earlier, at 11am tomorrow, and remain in force until 4am Sunday.

A Gale Warning for all Irish coastal waters and the Irish Sea will also be in place on Sunday, with Southwest to west winds reaching gale force 8 or strong gale force 9.
