⚠️⚠️ Storm Warning ⚠️⚠️
Storm Bram is on its way and will bring very strong to gale force winds of up to 100km/h or 60mph with the strongest winds along the coast. A Status Orange and Yellow Wind Warning has been issued for both Northern Ireland and Ireland.
The RNLI's safety advice is:
👉 Stay well back from stormy, rough seas, cliff edges and any exposed waterside location
👉 Always check the weather forecast and conditions and be prepared to change your plans or cancel the trip if the forecast is not safe. If in doubt, don’t go in
👉 Remember, if you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard / Coast Guard .

Carrybridge Lifeboat launched to assess a vessel which was adrift downstream of Carrybridge.
The boat was empty and adrift and the safest option open to the crew was to take the boat under tow as it was in the navigation channel. The vessel was brought back to Carrybridge marina
