PARTS OF MUNSTER and west Connacht are at risk of flooding today as “unseasonably wet and windy” weather hits Ireland’s coastal regions.
Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow rainfall warning for six counties effective from midnight tonight for 24 hours.
These counties are: Cork, Kerry, Clare, Waterford, Galway, and Mayo.
A Status Orange wind warning has also been issued for Cork, effective until midnight; and a Status Yellow wind warning has been issued for Waterford and Wexford, effective until 4pm today.
Met Éireann said that for counties with a rain warning, between 30mm and 50mm of rainfall is expected, with the possibility of some localised flooding.
Along south and south-west coasts, there will be gales and possibly “damaging” gusts.
Though the changeable weather is set to continue for the next few days, it’s expected to settle down from mid-week next week, Met Éireann said.
