Met Éireann issue high tide warning thanks to Hurrican Ernesto and 'supermoon' spring tides combo
Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) are expected to be exceeded in areas around the coast of Clare
Coastal counties around Ireland, including Clare, have been issued with a high tide warning as Hurricane Ernesto continues to wreak havoc on the country.
Met Éireann has issued a High Tide Advisory for all coasts from 12 noon tomorrow, Wednesday August 21, until 12 noon Friday, August 23.
It is advised that during this period of supermoon spring tides, Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) are expected to be exceeded in areas around the coast.
Ireland will be affected by strong winds and increased storm surge from the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto.
A combination of strong onshore winds, high spring tides and significant waves may result in localised coastal flooding and wave overtopping in the coming days.
A Status Yellow Gale marine warning is also in place around the coast, with southwest winds expected to reach gale force 8 at times.
