Storm Floris is set to bring some wet, windy weather to Ireland from Sunday, August 3, coinciding with the August Bank Holiday on Monday, August 4.

Met Éireann issued a weather advisory on Friday after the UK Met Office named the storm on Friday.

In its weather advisory valid from Friday through 1 pm on Monday, Met Éireann said Storm Floris will bring "wet and unseasonably windy weather during Sunday night and Public Holiday Monday."

Some potential impacts include dangerous travelling conditions, knock-on impacts for outdoor events, structural damage, fallen trees, debris and loose objects, power outages, wave overtopping, and localised flooding due to leaves.

Met Éireann said warnings with further updates will be issued tomorrow, Saturday, August 2.

Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024/2025 Storm Naming season.

“Storm Floris will bring a spell of wet and unseasonably windy weather, particularly for northwestern areas, through Sunday night and into Monday," Met Éireann forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock said on Friday.

"However, there is still some uncertainty in the details, so the full impacts of the system cannot yet be determined.

"By Saturday, though, the event will be within the range of our high-resolution DINI forecasting model, and warnings will be issued.

"However, as this is a Public Holiday Weekend with a large number of outdoor events and with many people going camping, etc, and with an increased usage of temporary structures such as tents, more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case.

"And while we are in a period of neap tides, with lowest tidal ranges of this cycle expected on Sunday and Monday, strong onshore winds and high waves may cause wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas in the northwest and west.

"Our advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have.

"And as always, please heed the advice of local authorities.”
