Ireland is set to see heavy rainfall over the next 24 hours, with the risk of localised flooding prompting multiple weather warnings across the country.
Met Éireann has issued a Status Orange rain warning for:
-
Wicklow
-
Waterford
A Status Yellow rain warning is in place for:
-
Carlow
-
Dublin

-
Kilkenny
-
Laois
-
Louth
-
Wexford
-
Monaghan

Tipperary
All warnings came into effect from 3am today and are expected to remain valid for 24 hours.
Due to already saturated ground in many areas, further heavy rain could lead to surface flooding, river flooding, and difficult travel conditions.
The National Emergency Coordination Group has advised the public to remain vigilant, avoid flood-prone areas, and be prepared for possible emergency situations. Motorists are urged to take extra care, follow local authority updates, and avoid driving through flooded roads.
Authorities will continue to monitor conditions closely as the rain moves through affected regions.
