Wind and rain warnings in effect for several counties ahead of 'bitterly cold' temperatures in new year
Briefly

The forecaster has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Donegal due to possible heavy spells of rain until 11am on Tuesday, with the risk of localised flooding, poor visibility, and difficult travelling conditions. Furthermore, a Status Yellow wind warning has also been issued for Donegal, Galway, and Mayo until 11am on Tuesday, indicating gale-force and gusty winds may lead to fallen branches, difficult travelling conditions, and hazardous conditions due to wave overtopping.
Met Éireann meteorologist Mark Bowe indicated that New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are expected to be 'very windy, blustery, and wet.' He noted that the weather will be influenced by a series of low-pressure centres expected to affect the country on Tuesday and Wednesday, leading to widespread rain and challenging conditions for travel.
Weather forecasts predict that Tuesday morning will be rather cloudy and wet, with persistent rain expected to persist overnight in southern and central regions. On Wednesday, temperatures are anticipated to drop significantly to between 0 to -3C in the evening, leading to possible frost and icy conditions, especially for evening travel and safety.
