The rest of the country will be placed under a status yellow wind warning with severe gusts possible from 1am until tomorrow afternoon.

In a weather advisory issued for the weekend, Met Éireann said "very unsettled weather will occur over the Halloween weekend as a series of vigorous Atlantic weather systems pass close to Ireland."

The forecaster said that spells of heavy rain will lead to surface and river flooding, while it will be very windy and stormy at times.

Some coastal flooding is possible also due to the combination of low pressure, high tides and onshore winds, it added.
