The Met Office has announced a yellow weather warning, with strong winds set to hit the country for the rest of the week.
Storm Ellen, named by the Irish Met Office, is expected to bring wet and stormy conditions to Ireland tonight, and into Thursday.
While the strongest of the winds will affect Ireland, the Met Office has warned of very strong winds across western parts of the UK.
Much of west, south west and north west Wales is set to feel the remnants of Storm Ellen tonight and tomorrow.
