Heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding
Met Éireann has warned that heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding today (Thursday).
A Status Yellow rainfall warning came into effect for Munster, Connacht, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath, Cavan and Donegal shortly after midnight and will remain in place throughout the day.
We can expect the rainfall to continue today and it could possibly cause rainfall accumulations of 25 to 40 mm and localised flooding.
Meanwhile, a Status Orange warning is in place nationally.
According to Met Éireann, a spell of heavy rain today followed by another spell of heavy rain on Thursday night will give rainfall accumulation of 40 to 60 mm with localised flooding.
