UPDATE: Met Eireann have spoken to us here at iRadio. They say it's too early to call how this storm will impact us. They believe it will hit the U.K and possibly the very South of Ireland. they don't predict it will be anything like Ophelia, but it's too early to say for certain. It also doesn't have a name yet, social media has christened it Storm Brian.
To reiterate; it's still very early days in terms of another storm system but will monitor closely & keep you updated if it progresses. pic.twitter.com/9Alzrd5A6E
