The forecast suggests that strong gusterly winds will hit the Dublin area this morning.
The blustery conditions occur as a Yellow Weather wind warning remains in place in counties such as Donegal, Galway and Mayo. Met Eireann suggests gusts of 90 to 100km/h are expected in those areas.
However, the heavy winds will subside in Dublin by the afternoon. The day will remain generally cloudy with occasional outbreaks of rain. The highest temperatures today will range from 14 to 17 degrees.
