WEATHER: It’s rough out there, but the rain and wind will die down by lunchtime

It’s a work-from-home morning, if you can swing it.
With a Status Yellow Wind warning in place for Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford, Met Éireann says we can expect the worst of today’s wind and rain between 5am and 11am this morning.
The national forecaster is predicting “very strong and gusty south to southwest winds with the potential for wave overtopping.”
Even after the warning ends, it will remain very blustery today with fresh to strong southerly winds, particularly along southern coasts.
