The Met Office has issued a wind warning across parts of Northern Ireland, with the potential for travel disruption and gusts of up to 60mph in some areas.
The yellow warning will come into force from 3pm on Tuesday and will last until 8am on Wednesday morning.
In a statement they said: “Southerly winds will strengthen through Tuesday afternoon, evening and night, with gales developing along some exposed coasts.
“Peak gusts of 40-50 mph are likely fairly widely inland, with perhaps 50-60 mph in more exposed places, including along some coasts.
“This may lead to some disruption to ferry crossings, with tricky travelling conditions possible on higher level and west-east routes.
“Winds will start to ease in Northern Ireland during the early hours of Wednesday, and then in many other areas around or after dawn.”
The Met Office warned the conditions may bring some delays to road, rail and air travel.
