Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather is saying the storm itself is no comparison to Storm Éowyn:

"Now, not a storm in any way comparison to Éowyn that we saw but it will bring some strong gusts.

"It'll be another normal storm that will peak out at sea but bring some rough seas out to the South West and to the South and maybe even the Irish Sea which could impact some ferries but nothing out of the ordinary.

"The only thing is it will hamper, maybe, the crews trying to restore power in the areas where it is very gusty."
