Storm Diana brings coastal flood risk to Clare

27 November 2018

Following a Status Orange Weather Warning from Met Éireann, Clare County Council is warning members of the public in County Clare to avoid exposed coastal locations during Wednesday due to forecast stormy conditions.

Severe south to southwest winds associated with Storm Diana will be strongest from 9.00am to 2.00pm and will gust between 110 and 130 km/h at coasts. High seas along the Clare coastline, including the Shannon Estuary, will bring a risk of coastal flooding.  

Clare County Council has indicated that any coastal areas which have previously flooded are at risk and people in such situations are advised to take appropriate precautions.

Meanwhile, the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience will be closed to visitors tomorrow (Wednesday) from 9.00am to 2.00pm due to the Weather Warning.

Members of the public are advised to refer to local media and Clare County Council’s social media accounts (www.instagram.com/clarecountycouncil / www.twitter.com/clarecoco / www.facebook.com/clarecountycouncil).
