In stark contrast to the bank holiday weekend just gone, the weather coming our way this weekend is set to windy, wet and miserable.
Met Éireann is predicting Storm Hannah to batter coastlines this Friday, bringing 'very windy or stormy conditions' around the country.
The national forecaster has issued four status orange weather warnings for Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick with gusts of 110 to 130 km/h expected - valid from Friday at 6pm until Saturday morning at 5am.
While Connacht, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Wexford, Wicklow, Offaly, Donegal, Tipperary and Waterford have been issued a status yellow weather warning, with gusts of 90 to 110 km/h - valid from 11pm Friday evening until 9am on Saturday morning.

Delivering a forecast on RTE's, forecaster Gerry Murphy said: "Later tomorrow, Friday, a depression which we have named Storm Hannah will move in from the West bringing stormy weather tomorrow evening and night - especially to counties Kerry, Clare and Cork.
"It will also bring very windy weather to the rest of the country overnight tomorrow night as well. Weather warnings associated with Storm Hannah will be issued this morning."
In short, batten down the hatches! It's going to be a wet and wild weekend.
