The remainder of the country is covered by a Status Yellow Wind Warning and will remain in place until 9am Friday.

The heaviest of the rain is expected to fall in the south and east of Ireland.

There is also the risk of further severe Southerly winds impinging onto Southern and Eastern coastal areas during the day.
