- The Met Office warned parts of Scotland, including the Outer Hebrides and Highland, to expect a "period of strong winds" on Wednesday, with gusts of 50 to 60 mph likely, reaching 70 mph in exposed coastal areas.
- Met Éireann issued a Status Yellow wind warning for Donegal, Galway, and Mayo effective from 6 am to 6 pm on Wednesday, warning of debris, difficult driving conditions, and fallen trees in these three counties.
- A separate Status Yellow rain warning affects Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, and Sligo from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning, October 15, while Clare and Kerry face heavy rain from midnight Thursday until midday.
