Status Yellow rain warnings in place for eight counties; Met Eireann warns of localised flooding
""We do have a nice area of low pressure sort of anchoring itself just to our west. And it is trying its best now to drive plenty of rain-laden moist air up and over us for most of this week." He continued: "And at the same time, we do have a cooler northerly flow which is developing just off to our north. And these two weather systems are sort of meeting head-on for most of this week.""
"A very wet and cloudy morning today will bring bands of persistent rain moving north. The rain will be heavy and prolonged, especially across Munster and south Leinster, with possible localised flooding. A mixture of clear weather and some showers will develop from the south later in the evening, as the rain becomes confined to Ulster. The highest temperatures today will range between 12 and 15C."
Heavy and prolonged rain will affect Munster and south Leinster today, with rain warnings in place for Cork and Kerry until 2pm and for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Tipperary, and Waterford until 5pm. Localised flooding, difficult travelling conditions, and poor visibility are possible. A low pressure area west of Ireland will drive rain-laden moist air over the country while a cooler northerly flow develops to the north, causing these systems to meet and produce outbreaks of rain, cloud, and occasional strong winds. Temperatures will remain milder than average, ranging between 12 and 15C today. Mist or fog should clear to sunny spells by Wednesday morning, with cloudier conditions later.
