Ireland weather update: Status Yellow Rain Warning issued for Cork, Waterford, and Wexford; Details here
Ireland's weather forecast is set for some significant changes, with Met Éireann issuing several Status Yellow rain warnings. These warnings are crucial for residents in affected areas to be aware of, as heavy rain and potential travel disruptions are expected.
Widespread Impact alert by Met Éireann
On Sunday, September 24, Met Éireann has alerted residents in Cork, Waterford, and Wexford to a Status Yellow rain warning in effect from 6 am to 6 pm. The heavy rain, particularly in hilly and mountainous regions, may result in localized flooding and travel disruptions, urging residents to exercise caution during this period.
Similarly, Donegal, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo are also under a Status Yellow rain warning on the same day, from 11 am to 9 pm. The heavy rain in these areas could lead to significant impacts, raising the risk of local flooding and travel disruptions.
Disruption In Travel
As the rain intensifies, reduced visibility and challenging road conditions may affect motorists and commuters. It's essential to take extra precautions while traveling, as road conditions can deteriorate rapidly, potentially causing delays and safety hazards.
Weekend Weather Update
Met Éireann's national weather forecast anticipates a weekend with changing weather conditions. Saturday morning is expected to bring dry weather to most areas, accompanied by periods of bright sunshine. However, this brief respite will be short-lived as rain originating from the southwest gradually moves northeastward, covering the entire country by evening. South to southeast winds will also strengthen, becoming fresh and gusty.
Despite the shifting weather, temperatures will remain relatively mild, ranging between 12 to 16 degrees.
