WARNING: Concerns over festival tents during Bank Holiday weekend as strong winds to hit


Met Éireann has issued its Irish weather forecast for the next few days predicting 'unseasonable' weather
A wet and windy Bank Holiday Monday is being forecasted and it is looking more and more likely but there is still uncertainty on the weather models with some bringing worse winds than others.
Forecaster Alan O'Reilly said: "Given the timing it is one to watch carefully with festivals and tents and temporary structures etc."
The festival takes place across Saturday, August 3, and Sunday, August 4, in Kinnane’s Field, Upperchurch.
Met Éireann's five-day Irish weather forecast is below:
Friday: Friday morning will be mostly cloudy with isolated light showers, mainly in the north and east.
It'll become drier and brighter for the afternoon and evening as the showers die out and some sunny spells develop. Highest temperatures of 16 to 21 degrees, warmest in the south, in a light northwesterly breeze.
Overview: A good amount of dry weather on Saturday and Sunday but unsettled on Bank Holiday Monday.
Friday night: Dry with clear spells at first but cloud will build in the west later. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees with a light and variable wind.
