In a statement, the Met Office said: "Coastal and hill top gusts of 50-60 mph are expected quite widely whilst inland gusts are likely to reach 45-50 mph.
"High tides and large waves will lead to the risk of minor coastal flooding, mainly due to wave and spray overtopping, whilst a spell of heavy rain is likely before winds come down.
"The gales will ease across Northern Ireland and Southwest Scotland in the early afternoon and over the Hebrides by the evening."
Elsewhere, the Roads Service has asked motorists to be careful when travelling today due to the extreme weather conditions.
