There may be bad weather ahead over the coming days as forecasters predict that Ireland will be subjected to high winds and torrential rainfall as the tail end of Tropical Storm Henri will arrive over the weekend.
Met Eireann have issued an orange status warning recently saying that rain along with high winds will reach Irish coasts by Friday. Meanwhile forecasters at the British Met Office say that Britain along with Ireland will be hit by 70mph+ gusts and that a large amount of rainfall is expected as the storm sweeps across the Atlantic from the United States.
The news comes as a spokeswoman for the UK Met Office told the Mirror Newspaper: “The remnants of tropical depression Henri are then expected to track across the Atlantic towards the UK but at the moment it is uncertain how much of an effect this will have.”
Meanwhile Weather Network spokesman Richard Chapman said: “Low pressure is then in control for Sunday with some more rain on the way. “Most of this over Ireland, Wales, western and southern England, but then edging eastwards as the day progresses. “Then it’s a taste of autumn into the opening days of next week.”
He added; “Low pressure sits atop the British Isles and showers will be heavy and frequent, as will be longer spells of rain.”
