Following a yellow wind warning issued by Met Eireann this morning for counties Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, and Sligo, the Irish Coast Guard is strongly advising the public to exercise caution.
The weather alert is in place for this coming Thursday and Friday and the public are advised to stay away from exposed beaches, cliffs and piers, harbor walls and promenades.
The forecasted unseasonable severe weather conditions will coincide with spring tides and rough to high seas, with the potential for wave overtopping and hazardous coastal conditions.
The Coast Guard encourages the public to remember to “Stay Back, Stay High and Stay Dry” and if you see anyone if difficulty call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.
