Met Eireann issue Orange weather alert for Sat 21st Oct 2017



At 2pm on Thurs 19th Oct, Met Eireann have issued an Orange weather alert for next Saturday the 21st of October 2017.

The storm in the mid-Atlantic has been given the name Brian and is expected to pass over Ireland on Saturday morning. The strong winds in Cork are likely to be from the West whereas the winds from ex-hurricane Ophelia were from the South and the South-West.

Following on from the damage done by Ophelia, there is a potential for more fallen trees, branches and power cuts. It won't be as strong as Ophelia though.

If you are going to any event, please check the status before traveling.

Update Fri 8am : At the moment, the parkrun in Ballincollig, Macroom and Glengarriff are cancelled. The run in Ballinacurra is cancelled. The Rebel Run on Sunday is going ahead as planned.
