Here's the general forecast for the day from Met Éireann:

Very windy and wet with strong to near gale force westerly winds and severe gusts, especially along western and northern coasts, with very high seas leading to some coastal flooding.

Rain will be heavy at times early on, leading to localised flooding. The rain will clear southeastwards to frequent showers through the afternoon, some heavy with isolated thunderstorms and hail, and sleet possible later.

After a mild start, it will turn much colder from the northwest after the rain clears with highest afternoon temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees.
