The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is urging road users to exercise caution while using the roads and to check local weather and traffic conditions before setting out on a trip. 
RSA issued the following advice:

Beware of objects being blown out onto the road. Expect the unexpected. 
Watch out for falling/fallen debris on the road and vehicles veering across the road. 
Control of a vehicle may be affected by strong crosswinds. High-sided vehicles and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to strong winds. 
Allow extra space between you and vulnerable road users such as cyclists and motorcyclists. 
Drive with dipped headlights at all times. 

Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists are also being asked to wear bright clothing with reflective armbands or belts, and to take extra care when crossing the road or cycling in extreme windy conditions as a sudden gust of wind could blow people onto the path of an oncoming vehicle.
