Met Office issue a yellow weather warning across Northern Ireland
Don't make too many plans this weekend - 60mph winds are on the way 💨
Last updated 11th Mar 2022
Strong winds are expected to hit Northern Ireland this weekend. The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning from 3am to 2pm on Sunday 13th March.
It’s likely that coastal routes across the east of NI will be hit hardest by spray and/or large waves.
Winds may reach 50-60 mph along mainly coastal districts, with the core of the stronger winds tracking northwards through Sunday over the region.
A small chance of winds exceeding this, possibly reaching severe gales along more exposed coastal regions with winds reaching 65 mph. This may lead to some poor coastal conditions and transport disruption.
Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely
- Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
- Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
- Coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves
