MET ÉIREANN HAS said that the east coast of the country will bear the brunt of the heavy rainfall expected in the coming days.
Up to a month’s rainfall is expected in the space of 36 hours this week with between 25mm and 50mm set to fall across the country tomorrow and Thursday.
Munster and Leinster are set to be worst affected by the downpour from early tomorrow morning until late on Thursday. Met Éireann is warning of “heavy and persistent” showers with a risk of hail and thunder which may lead to some localised flooding later today.
Speaking on Newstalk’s Breakfast programme, the weather forecaster’s David Rogers explained what can be expected after that: “The rain itself will be initially heavy in the south and south east of the country.
“Then as it pushes north the east coast will bear the brunt of the rainfall and then eventually moving into Ulster later on in the day,” he said.
He said that the wind and rain will make conditions feel cold but that parts of the west and north west of the country are likely to avoid the heavy rainfall expected in the south and east.
He attributed the conditions to the “the nature of the variability of our weather” and warned that flooding can be expected in the south and east tomorrow.
Rogers added that it was not clear if it would cause the kind of havoc the rainfall did in Dublin last October when around 80mm of rain fell in the space of 24 hours.
The Labour TD Kevin Humphreys has warned that much of the work to repair damage cause by the floods last October had not yet been carried out.

sorry jade nothing can make Enda look good,
This lad makes Enda look good.
I just came on to write exactly the same. We all can’t be wrong!!
Biffo made Enda look good. Enda is no good.
Cowen did not make anyone look good.
Even knowing how dysfunctional they are we will still bow down at this guys feet if he is elected. Our eagerness to support his every whim, to justify his every action will know no bounds if he were to become president of the U.S. Makes us more dysfunctional than them!?
Want to make America great again Donald?
Heres a start: How about nobody talks about you anymore.
Cameron’s pig makes Enda look good!
It’s the first I’ve heard of a big fat meatball declining a big fat meatball…
Europe needs a great and beautiful wall.
it will be great for Irelands tourism industry to have a golf course (doondeg) owned by the next president of the United States. Just think of who may get off airforce one in shannon to play a fourball. President Trump, Putin, Pope Frances and Castro. Now that would get the media talking about the West of Ireland
How in Gods name could any cavalier billionaire understand or relate to the average man on the street.
Does he really want to run a country from the safety of his own private planet? And if so you’d have to question that motive in itself.
have your say
