A red wind warning has been issued for the whole of the Republic of Ireland, with Met Éireann warning of a possible "danger to life". The alert comes into effect at varying times from 02:00 on Friday and will end at varying times. Met Éireann has warned that "severe, damaging and destructive winds" are expected, with gusts of up to 130km/h.

Friday’s red weather warning is the first in the north since the Met Office changed how it classifies warnings in 2011

Storm Eowyn will slam Ireland later this week, with a Status Red weather warning issued for the entire country. Track it's exact path and check how wet and windy it will get in your area.
