Brutal weather conditions, such as heavy rain and localised flooding, are on the way and Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for three counties over a 12-hour period as a result
Met Eireann has issued a 12-hour weather warning for three counties ahead of persistent rain and localised flooding.
Cork, Kerry and Waterford have been anthem with a Status Yellow alert on Tuesday (November 11) ahead of the brutal downpours.
Met Eireann has warned there will be “persistent rain, heavy at times” and has listed localised flooding, difficult travel conditions and poor visibility as potential impacts of the grim weather conditions.
The warning comes into effect at midnight on Tuesday and lasts until 12pm on Tuesday afternoon.
Sharing the nationwide weather forecast for Tuesday, Met Eireann says it will be a “wet and blustery day”.
A forecaster said: “The rain will be heavy at times with localised flooding. There’ll be some mist and hill and coastal fog too.
“Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees, in moderate to fresh, occasionally strong, and gusty southeast winds veering southerly.
“Further spells of rain or showers for a time on Tuesday night, heavy at times, but a clearance to drier weather with clear spells and just isolated showers will develop overnight.
“Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees with southerly winds generally easing. Mist and fog patches will develop also.”
Wednesday (November 12) could see further rain in parts of the country:
“Any mist and fog will clear on Wednesday morning to leave variable cloud and a few bright or sunny spells.
“It looks as though further spells of rain could affect parts of the south and east with drier conditions and just the odd shower further north and west. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in light variable breezes becoming easterly later.”
Thursday (November 13) will see “further showers or longer spells of rain” with “highest temperatures of 9 to 14 degrees in a freshening northeasterly wind.”
But a change could be coming on Friday (November 14) and into the weekend, as Met Eireann says: “There are early indications of potentially cooler and more settled conditions extending from the north through next weekend, however.”
