URGH! Met Éireann have issued a weather warning for this evening

If you arrived back from lunch looking like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards, you mightn't be surprised to learn that a weather warning has been issued for this evening.

With many parts of the country experiencing seriously strong gales, the good folk at Met Eireann have put a marine status yellow gale warning in place.

For those living on the coast, you guys are set to endure the worst of it, with forecasters drawing specific attention to Belfast Lough, Roches Point and Rossan Point.

Blustery and showery this evening. Showers becoming more isolated overnight as winds moderate. Lows 11 to 14 degrees

"Southwest to west gales or strong gales today on Irish coastal waters from Belfast Lough to Roches Point to Rossan Point and on the Irish Sea," read the warning.

Taking to Twitter, they advised the public that conditions are set to calm as the night progresses with winds moderating and showers becoming isolated overnight.

They may become isolated overnight, but we're not taking any chances tomorrow.

Umbrellas, a go.
