Yellow Thunderstorm Warnings Issued for Six Counties on Halloween Evening

Forecasters say a warm southern plume, not Hurricane Melissa, is driving the evening instability.

Overview

  • Met Éireann’s Status Yellow thunderstorm warning covers Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford from 7pm to 10pm.
  • Additional Status Yellow alerts include rain for Galway and Mayo and for Cork and Kerry until 8pm, with a wind warning for Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford until 11pm.
  • The UK Met Office issued yellow wind warnings for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry, valid until 11pm.
  • Officials warned of heavy downpours, spot flooding, difficult travel, fallen trees and waves overtopping coasts, and advised earlier Halloween plans in most regions as Munster stays wetter.
  • Met Éireann emphasized the setup comes from a warm southerly plume, while some reports suggest a weaker Melissa could influence Sunday–Monday conditions, a view described as uncertain.
