The storm has created difficult travel conditions and coastal flooding, with several warnings in place from Met Éireann3. Thousands of homes are without power as a result.
The storm is a significant low-pressure system tracking off the west coast, bringing strong southerly winds and damaging gusts across the country.

The potential impacts of Storm Kathleen are likely to be very difficult travel conditions, fallen trees, some power outages, coastal flooding, and wave overtopping. The rain associated with Storm Kathleen will fall on already saturated ground, therefore water will make its way quickly into the rivers. Cumulative rainfall totals could lead to elevated river levels in western and southwestern areas.
Please stay safe and keep updated with the latest forecasts from Met Éireann.
