Storm Boelo Causes Flight and Ferry Cancellations as Wind Warning Covers Nine Counties
Published
Flights and ferries in and out of Ireland were cancelled on Monday morning because of strong winds from Storm Boelo. Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow wind warning for nine counties, which means that people should be careful and expect some disruption. Travellers are being asked to check with their airline or ferry company before they leave home.
The storm has brought high winds to many parts of the country, and there is a risk of fallen trees, power cuts and damage to property. Local councils and emergency services are monitoring the situation. People are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, secure loose objects in their gardens and be careful near the coast, where waves may be high.
Despite the difficult weather, the Dublin Marathon has gone ahead as planned. Thousands of runners took to the streets of the capital this morning, and organisers said they were working closely with the authorities to keep participants safe. Spectators have been asked to follow the instructions of race stewards and to dress warmly.
Forecasters expect the strongest winds to ease later in the day, but they warn that conditions could remain unsettled for the rest of the week. Anyone travelling in the coming days should keep up to date with weather forecasts and official travel information.
