Met Éireann have issued snow and rain warnings for Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford. The warnings come as Storm Goretti tracks over the UK and Europe, only narrowly avoiding Ireland. The countries most likely to take a hit from Goretti’s wintry showers are further east of Ireland, including the UK and other areas of Europe. Met Éireann meteorologist Holly O’Neill said that, while Ireland will avoid the worst of the conditions brought by Storm Goretti, there remains a degree of uncertainty. As Storm Goretti tracks over the UK and Europe tomorrow, wintry falls will lands in the southern counties, while northern counties will remain drier with just coastal showers.
