Met Eireann issue status yellow rainfall warning for just one county with flooding likely

A status yellow weather warning has been issued for Clare with heavy rain forecast.

Met Eirenn has put the measure in place for the Munster county from 5am on Monday morning until 5am on Tuesday morning.

The weather chiefs said on their website: "Rainfall accumulations combined with high river levels may result in further flooding."

Heavy rain is also expected in much of the south and west of the country with a weather advisory in place until Tuesday.

The counties under this advisory are Longford, Offaly, Westmeath, Cavan, Donegal, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary and all of Connacht.

A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Periods of heavy rainfall from Saturday to Tuesday may lead to some local flooding as river levels remain elevated.
 

"The heaviest of the rain will be through Saturday afternoon, and again early Monday and early Tuesday, with rainfall accumulations from Saturday to Tuesday of 40 to 50mm in places, with some spot flooding."
