The summer is well and truly behind us if the current weather situation is anything to go by. 

There is a status yellow weather warning in place for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork and Kerry from Met Éireann.

According to the forecaster,'some very strong west, veering northwest winds are expected to affect western and southwestern coastal counties later Sunday, overnight and into Monday morning.'

Gusts of up to 110kmph are expected in these regions. 

The winds will be 'strongest in the exposed hilly and coastal areas with very high seas along the coasts during this period.'

We'll be battening down the hatches and watching a box set for the weekend,so.
