As storm Ashley approaches, beef editor Adam Woods and Teagasc give their advice for securing livestock on your farm.
Storm Ashley will bring very strong and gusty southerly winds, coupled with high spring tides, according to Met Éireann.
Met Éireann has announced that there will be a risk of flooding in coastal areas this weekend, with highest temperatures of 16°C.
Met Éireann’s Dr Padráig Flattery warned that increased rainfall may hamper the utilisation of a longer growing season.
A rain warning has been issued by Met Éireann for three counties in the southeast of Leinster, with localised flooding and travel disruptions expected.
The national forecaster spoke at the Grassland Climate Adaptation Conference at the Teagasc Research and Innovation Centre on Tuesday 15 October.
Met Éireann is forecasting that the weekend will be generally mild and unsettled, with rain, showers and highest temperatures of 18°C.
Yellow weather warnings are considered not unusual conditions. However, there is a danger to local areas where up to 50mm of rain can fall in 24 hours.
Met Éireann recently published its climate statement for September, which showed that nine stations had their least amount of rainfall for the period since 2014.
