Two weather warnings for four counties,

Yeah, there’s no end to the bad weather at the minute and there are two more Status Yellow weather warnings from Met Éireann with four counties included overall.

According to the national forecaster, there’s going to be a lot of rain in Cork, Kerry and Waterford.

Not just rain either but heavy rain and this warning is in operation from 6 pm this evening until 6 pm tomorrow.

“Heavy rain will lead to accumulations between 25mm and 50mm. Spot flooding possible. There is the potential for higher values in mountainous areas”.

There’s a second warning too and this one relates to Wexford, Cork, Kerry and Waterford so basically, Cork, Kerry and Waterford are going to have desperate weather this evening, tonight and into tomorrow.

The four counties are going to experience strong winds between the hours of 4 pm this evening and 2 pm tomorrow.

“Southeasterly winds will reach mean speeds between 50 and 65km/h at times, with gusts between 90 and 100 km/h. Winds will be strongest along coastal areas”.

At the moment, there are four counties impacted by the latest weather warnings but there could be more as the day goes on.
