Ominous outdoor events warning as ‘rapidly deepening' Storm Floris approaches
Met Éireann has warned that 'more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case' ahead of the arrival of Storm Floris this weekend. Given the time of the year and the fact that the coming weekend is a Bank Holiday weekend, outdoor events, such as the All Together Now festival in Waterford, are scheduled to take place across the country, while there is also the likelihood of more people camping than on an average weekend. Having been named by the UK Met Office on Friday, Storm Floris is expected to arrive in Ireland on Sunday night into Monday morning, prompting Met Éireann to issue a weather advisory to the entire country, with specific warnings concerning individual counties set to follow on Saturday. Met Éireann forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock issued a particular warning to anyone planning on attending outdoor events or using temporary structures such as tents in the coming days. Met Eireann has issued a weather advisory, with warnings expected (Image: Met Eireann) 'As this is a Public Holiday Weekend with a large number of outdoor events and with many people going camping, etc, and with an increased usage of temporary structures such as tents, more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case,' he said. 'And while we are in a period of neap tides, with lowest tidal ranges of this cycle expected on Sunday and Monday, strong onshore winds and high waves may cause wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas in the northwest and west. 'Our advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have. And as always, please heed the advice of local authorities.' Met Éireann's weather advisory says that 'Storm Floris will bring wet and unseasonably windy weather during Sunday night and Public Holiday Monday'. Potential impacts include: • Dangerous travelling conditions • Knock on impacts for outdoor events • Structural damage • Fallen trees, debris and loose objects • Power outages • Wave overtopping • Localised flooding due to leaves As of Friday afternoon, Storm Floris had not yet formed, but it is expected to develop through Friday from a frontal wave, currently lying to the south of Nova Scotia, says Met Éireann. 'An unusually strong Jet for the time of year' will carry the storm in the direction of Ireland through the weekend, 'deepening rapidly' between Sunday and Monday. The worst of the storm is expected to track to the northwest of Ireland through Sunday night and Monday morning, before tracking over Scotland and clearing into the North Sea later in the day.
