Met EEireann has said that the worst of Storm Eowyn has passed, but has warned of more strong winds, cold conditions, and possible sleet and snow showers to follow

Ireland is still recovering from destructive Storm Eowyn, but more severe weather is on the way, with heavy snowfall expected to follow. Met Eireann has issued a new snow weather warning as the powerful Atlantic system continues to bring dangerous conditions.

Gusts of 174km/h have been recorded in Mace Head as Storm Éowyn batters Ireland. Hurricane force mean speeds of 135km/h were also recorded in Mace Head, breaking the mean wind speed record of 131 km/h set in 1945 at Foynes, Limerick.

Storm Eowyn has left its mark on Ireland and brought plenty of damage to Dublin overnight. The red weather warning has now passed for Dublin, with an orange warning currently in place until 12 noon. That will then downgrade to a yellow warning as strong gusts remain.

While Storm Éowyn gradually eases off Ireland through the afternoon, we may not be clear of stormy weather for the weekend as Met Eireann's latest update suggests further 'gale force' gusts to hit. The Status Red wind warning remains in place for Cork,
