Met Éireann issues rainfall warning for seven counties

If you’re in Dublin, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork or Waterford, get your umbrellas out.

BREAK OUT THOSE brollies again because Met Éireann has issued a rainfall warning for seven counties this morning.

Dublin, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford are all expected to have between 25 and 40mm of rain, with local spot flooding in places. Highest values are likely to be near the southeast coast.

The rest of the country will have brighter weather, with just a few scattered showers. Temperatures won’t be dropping, at least, remaining between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius with strong winds in places.

    Already at it on the balcony at 6 am this morning waiting for my shower. Sadly all that I got was a caution from the guards for indecent exposure. Back to the drawing board so

    Sadly no. There’s no seductive way of posing in a flowery yellow shower cap and a sponge bob face cloth

    The roads are very slippery after such a long spell of dry weather. Its been a wonderful summer, so let everyone be careful and have an accident free winter.
