Storm Ciara threatens to wreak havoc with GAA schedule
February 07, 2020
Status Yellow wind and rainfall warnings are in place this weekend.
The arrival of Storm Ciara could result in the postponement of a number of this weekend's Allianz Football League games.
The weather has been kind to the GAA fixture-makers so far this winter, but that could all change this weekend with Status Yellow wind and rainfall warnings in place for Saturday and Sunday.
According to Met Eireann, "southerly winds will strengthen during Saturday reaching mean speeds of 50-65km/h with gusts reaching 90-110km/h. A spell of heavy rain will spread eastwards across the country on Saturday with 20-40mm expected, highest in the west and northwest.
"Storm Ciara will produce very strong winds over Ireland on Sunday with a risk of damaging gusts. Another spell of heavy rain on Sunday will clear to squally wintry showers. Another 20-40mm likely."
