A yellow wind warning has been put in place for parts of Munster and south Leinster early on Thursday morning.
Met Éireann has advised those in counties Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford to expect strong and gusty conditions, with south to southwest winds and the potential for wave overtopping.
The latest weather warning covers 5am to 11am on Thursday morning.
Wind appears to be just one part of an unappealing picture for the south of the country – forecasters have thrown in advance notice of heavy rain, hail and isolated thunderstorms, mixed in with spells of sunshine in an ultimate concoction of weather conditions.
