Wind Causes Disruption At Dublin Airport
Six flights have been cancelled at Dublin Airport this morning due to severe winds.
The airport said the vast majority of flights are operating normally, but severe gusty winds overnight have led to a number being cancelled.
Passengers are being advised to check with their airline for updates before leaving for the airport.
Extreme winds caused disruption at Dublin Airport yesterday, with a number of flights having to be diverted to Shannon and Belfast Airports.
Met Éireann has warned of wet and windy weather sweeping across the country today, with heavy rain in parts of Ulster and north Connacht.
It said south to southwest winds would increase strong to gale force and will be "very gusty" along the Atlantic Seaboard.
It will remain windy and blustery overnight, with winds veering westerly. It will be mild and wet for a time, but turning much colder later, with showers developing.
