Rain will move into the southwest after midnight spreading northeastwards across Ireland on Monday morning, this will clear later tomorrow morning with heavy showers following. On Monday evening and night another band of rain will push up from the southwest and west moving northeastwards again and will be heavy on place especially in the northwest of Ireland on Monday night and Tuesday morning with a risk of flooding occurring. No rainfall warnings have been issued for the northwest region by Met Éireann but these could be issued tomorrow morning especially for Donegal with a potential for 50mm in places especially across South and southwest Donegal. Flooding risk Donegal Main risk areas that could see anywhere between 30 to 50mm include Killybegs, Donegal Town, Kilcar, Ardara, Glenties, Mountcharles, Barnesmore, Ballybofey, Stranorlar, Letterbarrow, Fintown and areas surrounding these general areas. Highest rainfall totals will be over the Bluestack mountains and run of water from the mountains will lead to a increase in river levels and swollen stream with the potential for some flooding at lower levels. Amounts elsewhere across Donegal will vary between 15mm to 25mm. Monday will also be a windy with some strong winds but thankfully the strongest of this storm is set to stay out over the sea and doesn't undergo a very rapid cyclogenesis like storm Boelo did. I will continue to monitor the forecast particularly tomorrow night when the main risk of flood could be across parts of Donegal above mentioned.

🟡 NEW WARNINGS FOR MONDAY & TUESDAY - NEW STORM UPDATE 🟡 🟡🍃 Status Yellow - Wind warning for Carlow, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Kilkenny, Mayo, Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, Derry, Down, Antrim 🟡☔ Status Yellow - Rain warning for Cork, Galway, Kerry, Mayo Another area of low pressure will track just to the northwest of Ireland on Monday into Tuesday. This low pressure system is not set to bring as strong as winds as storm Boelo to Ireland but winds will still be strong with the ongoing risk of some trees and branches falling especially due to weakened ones from storm Boelo and the combination of leafs still on trees and saturated ground due to heavy rainfall. There is a possible chance this could be named at some point most likely by the UK Met office due to higher impacts across Scotland and stronger winds expected there. *TIMELINE * Monday morning to Monday night The storm / low pressure system will arrive on Monday morning just after midnight tonight with heavy rainfall and the outer band of rain moving into the southwest of Ireland spreading to all areas through bank holiday Monday. The bulk of the heavy rainfall will clear by midday Monday and will be followed by heavy showers. There will be a ongoing risk of flooding especially due to the amount of rain that has falling since Friday, especially across the southwest, west and northwest so some surface and local flooding will be possible on Monday. Winds will also increase especially on Monday Afternoon and evening with strong gusts potentially leading to some power outages and tree down. Monday afternoon another band of heavy rain will move into the southwest and west spreading across Ireland clearing into early Tuesday morning. Again there will be a increasing risk of surface and local flooding especially across the southwest, west and northwest. Between 15mm to 40mm could fall in parts of the southwest, west and northwest. Winds will ease through Tuesday morning again and as mentioned above will not be as strong, heavy showers will continue on Tuesday especially in the northwest and west with the best of any drier weather away from there with some brighter or sunny spells.

UPDATE - ON MAJOR RESCUE MISSION OF THE NORTHWEST COAST The rescue operation is still ongoing but unfortunately sea conditions are to poor at the moment and the location of the tanker or outside the range for a SAR helicopter to reach it. Even of a helicopter could reach it the current conditions it would not be able to fly. The RAF earlier send 1 of their 'Sub-Hunter' Poseidon aircraft towards that location with the callsign 'RESCU39' this had since returned back to Scotland. A US Military aircraft has just passed north of Donegal in the past few minutes heading in the same direction toward the. There is no change to the situation at those stage. The MYRA is visible to the northwest. #SAR #Mayday #Coastguard #storm #weather #ireland #uk – at Leitrim, Ireland

BREAKING MAJOR RESCUE OPERATION UNDERWAY OF THE NORTHWEST OF IRELAND A major search and rescue operation is underway of the northwest coast of Ireland around the center of #stormboelo this evening following distress calls from big Russian tanker carrying diesel. The UK Coastguard is coordinating a response to an Inmarsat-C Distress Alert from vessel MYRA. This potentially one of the Russian ships heading to the USA with Diesel . I hope there is no leaks as it would be a environmental disaster. The Irish air corps and Coastguard don't have the capabilities to provide cover due to the range the tanker is out 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 & 𝗦𝗔𝗥 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Given the extreme distance from mainland coastal stations (beyond typical shore-based rotary SAR operational radius without offshore refueling) and current sea states, direct surface intervention by coastal rescue craft is technically constrained. Standard Search and Rescue protocol in this scenario relies on:Alerting nearby commercial traffic via GMDSS broadcast.Deploying long-range fixed-wing maritime patrol aircraft (such as RAF P-8A Poseidon) for top-cover monitoring and communications relay if required. This rescue operation is ongoing as off 20:57 #SAR #Mayday #Coastguard #storm #weather #ireland #uk – at Leitrim, Ireland
