Bushy Park Tennis & Padel Club will remain closed from 5 pm this evening due to storm Ciara. We will update you on opening times tomorrow (Sunday), but the orange warning in place will mean the facility may not open until Sunday afternoon.

Met Eireann has issued an orange weather alert for the entire country. The warning will be in place from 5 am until 12 noon tomorrow (Sunday 9th February).

UPDATE

Issued 15:00, Friday, 7th February, by Evelyn Cusack, Head of Forecast Division and Eoin Sherlock, Head of Flood Forecast Division.

Storm Ciara is expected to pass to the north of Ireland on Sunday but the country can expect some wet and windy weather before this on Saturday. This spell of weather will bring heavy rain and strong winds, which have the potential to cause some disruption, especially in western and northern counties. The animation below displays the forecast winds for Saturday, 8th February using the Harmonie Forecast model.

As well as the heavy rain and strong winds, there is the risk of coastal and localised flooding. As we get closer to a weather event Met Éireann’s high resolution model Harmonie allows us to enhance the level of detail in our forecasts. Met Éireann has this afternoon increased the wind warning levels for Saturday to Orange for Galway, Mayo and Donegal.
