A weather warning for wind is set to come into place across the whole of Northern Ireland.
The yellow alert issued by the Met Office comes into force at midnight on Friday, January 24, and will remain in place until 11.59pm. This is due to Storm Éowyn, the fifth named storm of the season and the first of 2025.
The forecaster said: "Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and widespread disruption on Friday."
The Met Office added: "Storm Éowyn is expected to pass close to or across the northwest of the UK on Friday before clearing to the northeast on Saturday. Whilst there is some uncertainty in the track of Éowyn, a spell of very strong winds is likely, initially southeasterly before turning westerly, with peak gusts of 60-70mph inland and 80-90 mph along some coasts and hills (perhaps even higher in a few locations)."
