Weather warnings in place ahead of Storm Boelo
An amber warning has been issued for parts of Northern Ireland during Storm Boelo on Saturday night.
The Met Office alert for counties Antrim and Londonderry lasts from 21:00 BST on Saturday until 21:00 GMT on Sunday.
The organisation is warning of widespread gusts up to 70mph (115kph), and up to 80mph (130kph) around exposed coastal areas.
Strong winds of up to 75mph could cause disruption across other parts of Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile, a yellow Met Office weather warning will be in place across Northern Ireland from 18:00 BST on Saturday until 15:00 GMT on Sunday.
The Irish weather service Met Éireann has issued a series of orange and yellow warnings for heavy rain and damaging winds across parts of the Republic of Ireland.
Strong westerly winds are expected to become widespread on Saturday evening, with very windy conditions continuing overnight and through much of Sunday.
The strong winds will come with heavy, blustery showers at times.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve from the southwest during Sunday afternoon as the strongest winds begin to ease.
In light of the warning, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has cancelled its fireworks display at Ballymoney on Saturday.
In statement, the council said: "We understand how disappointing this will be, but the decision has been taken with the safety of visitors, staff and event personnel as the priority."
Met Éireann has issued an orange rain warning for County Kerry from 07:00 (local time) until 14:00 on Saturday.
The forecaster said Storm Boelo would bring spells of very heavy and intense rain, with flooding expected and damage to homes and businesses possible.
It warned of disruption and delays to rail and bus services, severe disruption to outdoor events and very difficult travelling conditions.
An orange wind warning has also been issued for Counties Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo from 14:00 on Saturday until 09:00 on Sunday.
A yellow rain warning has been issued for Counties Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Leitrim, Limerick, Mayo and Sligo.
It will be in place from 04:00 until 15:00 on Saturday.
Met Éireann said spells of heavy rain could lead to localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions and disruption to outdoor events.
A yellow wind warning covering Counties Connacht, Clare, Kerry and Limerick will take effect at 13:00 on Saturday and remain in place until 12:00 on Sunday.
Very strong south-westerly winds are expected to turn westerly, bringing severe gusts and coastal gales.
The forecaster warned of large coastal waves, fallen trees and branches, displaced debris and difficult driving and cycling conditions.
A separate yellow wind warning for County Donegal will run from 13:00 on Saturday until 15:00 on Sunday, with similar impacts expected.
