"Fergus will bring some strong winds and heavy rain for a time late on Sunday and into the early hours of Monday morning.
"While the strongest gusts are expected in the Republic of Ireland, Storm Fergus will bring some windy conditions to western areas, including Irish Sea coasts, while also bringing some potentially impactful rain.
"The rain has potential to be disruptive in parts of northern England and parts of Scotland, especially where it's falling on very saturated ground."
