With the dark evenings and winter extremes of weather now fully upon us, we are sending out our sea safety message to the community as a whole and also in particular to people who are working on the water, use pleasure craft on the water and more especially to everybody who uses the beaches, harbours walkways etc, in the area.
During extreme winter weather we all need to be extra cautious as conditions become more extreme. Colder water and air temperatures combined with swells that are powerful, winds that are more severe and currents that are more treacherous, make all of our interactions with the sea and lakes and rivers much more dangerous.
Recently we’ve seen in the media, both locally and nationally, the unpredictable nature of the weather and how it has cost people their lives. This has been true particularly here in the county of Wicklow.
