As predicted by the Met Office’s Yellow Weather Warning, strong winds have been shaking trees and stirring waves in Pembrokeshire. As a result, both of today’s Pembroke to Rosslare sailings have been cancelled.

The ferry remains at Pembroke Dock terminal.

Once the heavy rain had subsided, weather conditions in the town did not seem too harsh, although the strewn twigs, branches and blossoms from the trees near the Public Library tell their own story, and the clouds are gathering once more, as more rain is expected to fall this afternoon between 4pm and 7pm, according to the Met Office weather forecast for Pembroke Dock.

The Yellow Warning is in force until 8pm today.

The force of the wind can be felt more fully on the seafront at Western Way, where this short video was made this morning.

On the Irish Ferries website, the sailings to Ireland at 2.45am and 2.45pm are both marked with the following message:

“Irish Ferries regrets to advise that the … Pembroke to Rosslare BlueStar1 sailing on 12/04/2023 has now been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. You can be accommodated on our 02:45 sailing Pembroke to Rosslare 13/04/2023 instead. Please check in at least 30 minutes prior to the sailing departure time.”
