Met Éireann have issued another status yellow rain warning for Cork for this Friday.

The warning is set to come into place on Friday, November 14 at 9am and will continue until Saturday, November 15 at 9am.

Heavy and persistent rain falling is expected to fall on saturated ground which will likely lead to spot flooding in some areas of Cork city and County.

Poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions are expected as a result.

Cork City Council workers attempt to clear blocked drains on the Rochestown Road, where heavy rainfall once again caused severe flooding.

Meanwhile, Dublin, Wexford and Wicklow have been issued with an orange rain alert.
