Flooding possible as two weather warnings for Cork come into effect 

Two status yellow weather warnings have been issued for Cork today by Met Éireann, with Cork City Council saying localised flooding may occur.

A status yellow rain warning for Cork and Kerry comes into effect at 11am and is valid until 8pm this evening. Met Éireann have warned of spells of heavy rain, with possible impacts including localised flooding, difficult travel conditions and poor visibility.

A status yellow wind warning has also been issued for Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Wexford due to very strong and gusty southerly winds with gales on coasts.

It also comes into effect at 11am, and will be in place until 11pm tonight, with the potential for difficult travel conditions, wave overtopping and some fallen trees.

Cork City Council advised that due to these weather warnings localised flooding may occur, travel conditions for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists will be difficult, and debris may be on roads.

A council spokesperson said: “We will continue to monitor the situation with crews on the ground and on stand-by should they be needed.”
