A Status Yellow wind warning has come into effect for Donegal and Mayo with very strong southwesterly winds forecasted.

The warning came into effect at midnight and is set to expire at midday today.

Met Éireann said that the strong winds could lead to debris and loose objects becoming displaced as well as difficult driving and cycling conditions.

The forecaster also warned of large coastal waves and some fallen trees and branches.

A separate yellow wind warning will cover counties Antrim and Down.

The warning came into effect at 6pm yesterday evening and will last until 3am this morning.

Another yellow wind warning for Antrim and Derry will come into effect at 3am this morning and expire at 9pm tonight.

It comes as engineers are continuing to work to restore power to some customers who lost supply during Storm Boelo.

ESB Networks said a number of homes, farms and businesses remained without electricity in the north-west yesterday afternoon.

Around 53,500 properties on the island of Ireland were left without power on Sunday morning after the storm swept in from the Atlantic.

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks said power has since been restored to all 12,500 customers affected.
